Windsor, Inc. just took its physical inventory. The count of inventory items on hand at the company’s business locations resulted in a total inventory cost of $301,000. In reviewing the details of the count and related inventory transactions, you have discovered the following tems that had not been considered.
1. Dobler has sent inventory costing $29,120 on consignment to Phillips Company. All of this inventory was at Phillips’s showrooms on December 31.
2. The company did not include in the count inventory (cost, $20,800) that was sold on December 28, terms FOB shipping point. The goods were in transit on December 31.
3. The company did not include in the count inventory (cost, $13,520) that was purchased with terms of FOB shipping point. The goods were in transit on December 31.
Compute the correct December 31 inventory.

Answer 1

Answer:

Actual Inventory $ 343640

Explanation:

FOB Shipping point means as soon as the goods are sold they are the buyer's property and must be excluded from the inventory.

FOB destination means that the goods are the seller's property and responsibility unless the goods reach the destination. They are included in the seller inventory unless the buyer gets them.

Inventory sent on consignment is also counted in the cosigner's inventory.

The inventory costing $20,800 that was sold on December 28, terms FOB shipping point will not be included in the seller's inventory. They are now the buyer's responsibility.
