Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $14,000
Cr Inventory $14,000
Explanation:
There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,
Adjusted inventory
= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000
= $14,000 decrease
It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.
Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.
Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
Answer:
C : $686
Explanation:
The computation of the cash received amount is shown below:
= (Sale value of merchandise - returned merchandise) × (100 - discount rate)
= ($1,000 - $300) × (100 - 2%)
= $700 × 98%
= $686
Since the payment is made within 30 days, so the company could avail the discount of 2% and the return goods should be deducted so that the actual amount of cash received can come.
The fee is called an "excess mileage fee" she she has driven more miles than she was allowed in her lease agreement.
