Determine the cost of the ending inventory that Reddall should report on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet, assuming that its selling price is 140% of the cost of the inventory.

Answer 1

Answer: $‭103,830‬

Explanation:

Ending Inventory = Inventory on hand + Purchased goods shipping point + Goods out on consignment + Goods sold FOB Destination

Selling price of goods is 140% cost of inventory so sales figures will have to be divided by 140% to get the inventory figure.

Purchased goods shipping point

= 4,200 + 200 = $4,400

Goods out on Consignment

= (5,600 / 140%) + 200 = $4,200

Goods sold FOB Destination

= (1,900 - 178) / 140% = $1,230

Ending Inventory

= 94,000 + 4,400 + 4,200 + 1,230

= $‭103,830‬

Goods Purchased FOB Destination are not to be included as they are still the responsibility of the seller. Goods held on consignment should not be included either.
