Answer:
This error will decrease Howard's inventory by $6,000
Explanation:
Howard's inventory should include:
inventory on hand + goods purchased FOB shipping point + goods sold FOB destination point.
FOB shipping point means that the title of the goods is passed at the moment that they leave the seller's warehouse. FOB destination point means that the title of the goods is passed only after they have been delivered to the buyer's warehouse.
In this case, Howard purchased goods as FOB shipping point, so that means they should have been included in their inventory. Since they weren't, this error will decrease its inventory by $6,000.
Answer:
The depreciation expense for the company is $4615.
Explanation:
profit before depreciation and tax = (sales - cost) - interest expense
= ($51,200 - $39,600) - $1,560
= $10040
Addition to retained earnings = $2,320
dividends paid = $935
tax rate = 40 percent.
Addition to retained earnings = [(Profit before depreciation and tax - depreciation expense ) * (1- Tax)] - dividend paid
$2320 = [($10040 - depreciation expense)* (1 - 0.40)] - 935
$3255 = ($10040 - depreciation expense)* 0.60
$5425 = $10040 - depreciation expense
Depreciation expense = 10040 - 5425
= $4615
Therefore, The depreciation expense for the company is $4615.
