CHART OF ACCOUNTS

The following is a sample chart of accounts. It does not represent a comprehensive chart of all the accounts used in this textbook but rather those accounts that are commonly used. This sample chart of accounts is for a company that generates both service revenue as well as sales revenue. It uses the perpetual approach to inventory. If a periodic system was used, the following temporary accounts would be needed to record inventory purchases: Purchases, Freight-In, Purchase Returns and Allowances, and Purchase Discounts.

Dear Student,

Why This Course? Remember your biology course in high school? Did you have one of those “invisible man” models (or maybe something more high-tech than that) that gave you the opportunity to look “inside” the human body? This accounting course offers something similar. To understand a business, you have to understand the financial insides of a business organization. A financial accounting course will help you understand the essential financial components of businesses. Whether you are looking at a large multinational company like Apple or Starbucks or a single- owner software consulting business or coffee shop, knowing the fundamentals of financial accounting will help you understand what is happening. As an employee, a manager, an investor,a business owner, or a director of your own personal finances—any of which roles you will have at some point in your life—you will make better decisions for having taken this course.

Why This Book? Hundreds of thousands of students have used this textbook. Your instructor has chosen it for you because of its trusted reputation. The authors have worked hard to keep the book fresh, timely, and accurate.

How to Succeed? We’ve asked many students and many instructors whether there is a secret for success in this course. The nearly unanimous answer turns out to be not much of a secret: “Do the homework.” This is one course where doing is learn- ing. The more time you spend on the homework assignments—using the various tools that this textbook provides—the more likely you are to learn the essential concepts, techniques, and methods of accounting. Besides the textbook itself, WileyPLUS and the book’s companion website also offer various support resources.

Good luck in this course. We hope you enjoy the experience and that you put to good use throughout a lifetime of success the knowledge you obtain in this course. We are sure you will not be disappointed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES REVIEW

REVIEW AND PRACTICE

1 Discuss how to classify and determine inventory. Merchandisers need only one inventory classifi cation, merchandise inventory, to describe the different items that make up total inventory. Manufacturers, on the other hand, usually classify inventory into three catego- ries: fi nished goods, work in process, and raw materi- als. To determine inventory quantities, manufactur- ers (1) take a physical inventory of goods on hand and (2) determine the ownership of goods in transit or on consignment.

2 Apply inventory cost fl ow methods and discuss their fi nancial effects. The primary basis of accounting for inventories is cost. Cost includes all expenditures neces- sary to acquire goods and place them in a condition ready for sale. Cost of goods available for sale includes (a) cost of beginning inventory and (b) cost of goods purchased. The inventory cost fl ow methods are specifi c identifi cation and three assumed cost fl ow methods—FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost. The cost of goods available for sale may be allocated to cost of goods sold and ending inventory by specifi c identifi cation or by a method based on an assumed cost fl ow. When prices are rising, the fi rst-in, fi rst-out (FIFO) method results in lower cost of goods sold and higher net income than the average-cost and the last-in, fi rst-out (LIFO) methods. The reverse is true when prices are fall- ing. In the balance sheet, FIFO results in an ending inven- tory that is closest to current value, whereas the inven- tory under LIFO is the farthest from current value. LIFO

lt i th l t i t (b f l t

Inventory turnover is calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory. It can be converted to average days in inventory by dividing 365 days by the inventory turnover. A higher inventory turnover or lower average days in inventory suggests that management is trying to keep inventory levels low relative to its sales level. The LIFO reserve represents the difference between ending inventory using LIFO and ending inventory if FIFO were employed instead. For some companies this differ- ence can be signifi cant, and ignoring it can lead to inappro- priate conclusions when using the current ratio or inven- tory turnover.

*4 Apply inventory cost fl ow methods to perpetual inven- tory records. Under FIFO, the cost of the earliest goods on hand prior to each sale is charged to cost of goods sold. Under LIFO, the cost of the most recent purchase prior to sale is charged to cost of goods sold. Under the average- cost method, a new average cost is computed after each purchase.

*5 Indicate the effects of inventory errors on the fi nan- cial statements. In the income statement of the current year: (1) An error in beginning inventory will have a reverse effect on net income (e.g., overstatement of inventory results in understatement of net income, and vice versa). (2) An error in ending inventory will have a similar effect on net income (e.g., overstatement of inventory results in overstatement of net income). If ending inventory errors are not corrected in the follow-

SOLUTION

1. Ending inventory—as reported $650,000

1. Subtract from inventory: The goods belong to Bosnia Corporation. Sergei is merely holding them for Bosnia. (200,000)

2. Add to inventory: The goods belong to Sergei when they were shipped. 40,000

3. Subtract from inventory: Offi ce supplies should be carried in a separate account. They are not considered inventory held for resale. (15,000)

4. Add to inventory: The goods belong to Sergei until they are shipped (Jan. 1). 30,000

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare a schedule to determine the correct inventory amount. Provide explanations for each item above, saying why you did or did not make an adjustment for each item.

c06ReportingAndAnalyzingInventory.indd Page 295 01/06/15 8:11 PM f-0161 /202/WB01539/9781118552551/ch06/text_s

SOLUTIONS 1. (d) A physical inventory is usually taken when a limited number of goods are being sold or received, and at the end

of the company’s fi scal year. Choice (a) is incorrect because a physical inventory count is usually taken when the com- pany has the least, not greatest, amount of inventory. Choices (b) and (c) are correct, but (d) is the better answer.

2. (a) Goods held on consignment should not be included because another company has title (ownership) to the goods. The other choices are incorrect because (b) goods shipped on consignment to another company and (c) goods in transit from another company shipped FOB shipping point should be included in a company’s ending inventory. Choice (d) is incorrect because (a) is not included in the physical inventory.

3. (b) The inventory held on consignment by Rogers should be included in Railway’s inventory balance at cost ($35,000). The purchased goods of $13,000 should not be included in inventory until January 3 because the goods are shipped FOB destination. Therefore, the correct amount of inventory is $215,000 ($180,000 + $35,000), not (a) $230,000, (c) $228,000, or (d) $193,000.

4. (c) Under FIFO, ending inventory will consist of 5,000 units from the Nov. 8 purchase and 4,000 units from the June 19 purchase. Therefore, ending inventory is (5,000 × $13) + (4,000 × $12) = $113,000, not (a) $99,000, (b) $108,000, or (d) $117,000.

5. (d) Under LIFO, ending inventory will consist of 8,000 units from the inventory at Jan. 1 and 1,000 units from the June 19 purchase. Therefore, ending inventory is (8,000 × $11) + (1,000 × $12) = $100,000, not (a) $113,000, (b) $108,000, or (c) $99,000.

6 (d) Under the average-cost method total cost of goods available for sale needs to be calculated in order to deter-

New PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS include:

• BRIEF EXERCISES

• EXERCISES

• DO IT! Exercises

• PROBLEMS

All new practice questions provide

assessment, helping students see what

they understand and where they can

improve.

Algorithmic versions of the questions

allow students to revisit practice

questions until they understand a

topic completely.

Focus on the Accounting Cycle To help students master accounting cycle concepts, we added (1) new, recurring illustrations that show students the big picture of the accounting cycle, (2) new comprehensive accounting cycle exercises and problems, and (3) new accounting cycle questions in the Test Bank and .

Student Practice and Solutions New practice opportunities with solutions are integrated throughout the textbook and WileyPLUS course. Each textbook chapter now provides students with a Review and Practice section that includes learning objective sum- maries, multiple-choice questions with feedback for each answer choice, practice exercises with solutions, and a prac- tice problem with a solution. Also, all learning objective modules in the textbook are followed by a DO IT! exercise with an accompanying solution.

In WileyPLUS, two brief exercises, two DO IT! exercises, two exercises, and a new problem are available for practice with each chapter. All of the new practice questions are algorithmic, providing students with multiple opportunities for advanced practice. WileyPLUS assessment now includes new narrative student feedback.

Over 3,500 questions, including new medium-level, computational, and accounting-cycle-based questions, are avail- able for practice and review. is an adaptive study and practice tool that helps students build proficiency in course topics.

Updated Content and Design We scrutinized all content to find new ways to engage students and help them learn accounting concepts. A new learning objective structure helps students practice their understanding of concepts with DO IT! exercises before they move on to different topics in other learning objectives. Coupled with a new interior design, revised infographics, and the newly designed interactive chapter tutorials, the new outcomes-oriented approach motivates students and helps them make the best use of their time.

WileyPLUS Videos Over 150 videos are available in WileyPLUS. More than 80 of the videos are new to the Eighth Edition. The videos walk students through relevant homework problems and solutions, review important concepts, provide overviews of Excel skills, and explore topics in a real-world context.

Real World Context: Feature Stories and Comprehensive Problems New feature stories frame chapter topics in a real-world company example. Also, the feature stories now closely cor- relate with the Using Decision Tools problem at the end of each chapter. In WileyPLUS, real-world Insight boxes now have questions that can be assigned as homework.
