Answer 1

Explanation:

The journal entries are as follows

On December 31, 2020

Cost of goods sold $24,650

      To Allowance for reduction in inventory to NRV $24,650

(Being the cost of goods sold is recorded)

It is computed below:

= $379,880 - $355,230

= $24,650

On December 31, 2021

Allowance for reduction in inventory to NRV $3,640

             To Cost of goods sold $3,640

(Being the allowance for reduction is recorded)

It is computed below:

= $24,650 - ($445,440 - $424,430)

= $24,650 - $21,010

= $3,640
