Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

On May 3, 2020, Concord Company consigned 80 freezers, costing $540 each, to Remmers Company. The cost of shipping the freezers
NeX [460]

Answer:

a) $22,010

b) $3,780

c) $25,790

Explanation:

a) In calculating the value of inventory still left, the total value needs to be calculated first,

= (80 freezers * $540) + $820 ( transport fees)

= 43,200 + 820

= $44,020

40 out of 80 freezers have not been sold so,

= 40/80 * 44,020

= $22,010

b) In calculating the profit, subtract the expenses from the sales

Sales = 40 * 700

= $28,000

= 28,000 - Cost of refrigerators - commission of 6% of sales - advertising - installation

= 28,000 - 22,010 - (28,000*0.06) - 180 - 350

= $3,780

c) The amount remitted by the consignor will be,

= Sales - commission - advertising - installation

= 28,000 - (28,000 * 0.06) - 180 - 350

= $25,790
