Bank or Cash $469300 (debit), Account Receivable - Cullumber Co (credit)

Explanation:

Journal 1

Revenue is being recognized on sale of Merchandise to Cullumber Co.Since this is not a credit transaction ( the merchandise was sold on credit 2/10, n/30), we recognize an Asset in the Account Receivable - Cullumber for future economic benefits expected to flow to Oriole.

Journal 2

Company uses perpetual inventory system. Which means cost of merchandise is recorded at each sale and not after a certain period (periodic).Thus cost of merchandise is matched to the revenue.Note that Merchandise Account is decreasing (Credit) while the Cost od Sale is increasing (Debit)

Journal 3

The Asset element in the Account Receivable - Cullumber is decreasing due to allowance granted to them.Therefore Culumber is credited.An expense account - Discount Allowed has been created to reflect a decrease in future economic benefit due to grant of the allowance.

Journal 4

The Recognition of Payment through Bank or Cash. Asset of Cash or Bank are increasing as a result of the payment while assets of Accounts Receivable are decreasing due to Cullumber Co. settling their debt. The settled amount is net of allowance granted to them $469300 (492200-22900)

Levart [38]

Answer:

Ending inventory is $424,045

Cost of goods sold is $889,955

Explanation:

Retail Inventory method is used to estimate the value of inventory using retail price of the unit of inventory.

As per given data

                                                   Cost           Retail

Beginning inventory               $370,000   $515,000

Net purchases                        $890,000   $ 1,280,000

Freight-in                                $54,000

Net markups                                                $55,000

Net markdowns                                           $25,000

Net sales                                                      $1,235,000

Cost of Purchase = 890,000 + 54,000 = $944,000

Retail Price of Purchases = Net Purchases Retail + ( Net Markup ) = $1280,000 + ( 55,000 - 25,000 ) = 1,310,000

Cost to retail Percentage = ( $944,000 / $1,310,000 ) x 100 = 72.06%

Closing Inventory = Purchases + Net Markup - Sales = $1,280,000 + ( $944,000 / $1,310,000 ) - $1,235,000 = $75,000

                                      Retail           Cost

Beginning inventory  $515,000   $370,000

Net purchases           <u>$75,000</u>     <u> $54,045</u>  ( $75,000 x 72.06% )

Ending Inventory       <u>$590,000</u>   <u>$424,045</u>

Closing Inventory = Opening + Purchases - Closing = $370,000 + ( 890,000 + 54,000 ) - 424,045 = $889,955
