Required: Assume that Ace uses a perpetual inventory system and that the company had no inventory on hand at the beginning of the month. Calculate the cost of inventory as of June 30.

Answer 1

Answer: $3,940

Explanation:

Purchase from Diamond

The company received a discount of 2% because they paid within 10 days as per the terms of the sale.

Cost of inventory from Diamond:

= (Cost of goods - Returns) * (1 - 2%)

= (4,100 - 1,100) * 98%

= $2,940

Purchase from Club

Discount period expired so the full $1,000 is paid.

Total inventory cost:

= 2,940 + 1,000

= $3,940
