The prepaid expense account increased by $2,100 between the beginning and end of the year, and the accounts payable account decreased by $4,100. Cost of goods sold adjusted to the cash basis under the direct method would be:

Answer 1

Answer:

$113,200

Explanation:

Data provided

Cost of goods sold = $101,000

Increase in Inventory = $8,100

Decrease in Accounts payable = $4,100

The calculation of Adjusted cost of goods sold is shown below:-

Adjusted cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold + Increase in Inventory + Decrease in Accounts payable

= $101,000 + $8,100 + $4,100

= $113,200

Therefore for computing the adjusted cost of goods sold we simply applied the above formula.
