Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Ending Inventory = $309,000

Explanation:

Ending inventory−physical count  =                    $275,000

1. Add: FOB shipping point =                                            0*

2. Add: Goods received =                                                 0**

3. Add: Goods shipped =                                      $25,000

4. Add: Good shipped but yet to received =        $51,000

5. Less: Yet to received after end of the year =  (42,000)

Ending Inventory =                                             $309,000

Notes:

*1. If the terms are FOB shipping point, the title of the goods can pass to the purchaser. Therefore, there will be no effect. So, the amount is 0.

**2. Since Pohl did not receive the goods, the title of the goods cannot be transferred, therefore, it will not include the inventory.

5. Since the goods did not arrive before the financial year, it will be deducted from inventory.
