ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

 1. (a) Disagree. The steps in the accounting cycle are the same for both a merchandising company and a service company.

(b) The measurement of income is conceptually the same. In both types of companies, net income (or loss) results from the matching of expenses with revenues.

 2. The normal operating cycle for a merchandising company is likely to be longer than in a service company because inventory must first be purchased and sold, and then the receivables must be collected.

 3. (a) The components of revenues and expenses differ as follows:

Merchandising

Service

Revenues

Expenses

Sales Revenue

Cost of Goods Sold and Operating

Fees, Rents, etc.

Operating (only)

(b) The income measurement process is as follows:

Sales

Revenue

Less

Cost of

Goods

Sold

Equals

Gross

Profit

Less

Operating

Expenses

Equals

Net

Income

 4. Income measurement for a merchandising company differs from a service company as follows: (a) sales are the primary source of revenue and (b) expenses are divided into two main categories: cost of goods sold and operating expenses.

 5. In a perpetual inventory system, cost of goods sold is determined each time a sale occurs.

 6. The letters FOB mean Free on Board. FOB shipping point means that goods are placed free on board the carrier by the seller. The buyer then pays the freight and debits Inventory. FOB destination means that the goods are placed free on board to the buyer’s place of business. Thus, the seller pays the freight and debits Freight-out.

 7. Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 mean that a 2% cash discount may be taken if payment is made within 10 days of the invoice date; otherwise, the invoice price, less any returns, is due 30 days from the invoice date.

 8. July 24 Accounts Payable ($2,000 – $200) 1,800

Inventory ($1,800 X 2%)    36

Cash ($1,800 – $36) 1,764

 9. Agree. In accordance with the revenue recognition principle, sales revenues are generally con​sidered to be recognized when the goods are transferred from the seller to the buyer; that is, when the exchange transaction occurs. The recognition of revenue is not dependent on the collection of credit sales.

10. (a) The primary source documents are: (1) cash sales—cash register tapes and (2) credit sales— sales invoice.

Accounts Receivable ($900 – $100)   800

12. The perpetual inventory records for merchandise inventory may be incorrect due to a variety of causes such as recording errors, theft, or waste.

13. Two closing entries are required:

(1) Sales Revenue 200,000

Income Summary 200,000

(2) Income Summary 145,000

Cost of Goods Sold 145,000

14. Of the merchandising accounts, only Inventory will appear in the post-closing trial balance.

15. Sales revenues $105,000

Cost of goods sold 70,000

Gross profit $ 35,000

Gross profit rate: $35,000 ÷ $105,000 = 33.3%

16. Gross profit $370,000

Less: Net income 240,000

Operating expenses $130,000

17. There are three distinguishing features in the income statement of a merchandising company: (1) a sales revenues section, (2) a cost of goods sold section, and (3) gross profit.

Questions Chapter 5 (Continued)

*18. (a) The operating activities part of the income statement has three sections: sales revenues, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses.

(b) The nonoperating activities part consists of two sections: other revenues and gains, and other expenses and losses.

*19. The single-step income statement differs from the multiple-step income statement in that: (1) all data are classified into two categories: revenues and expenses, and (2) only one step, subtracting total expenses from total revenues, is required in determining net income (or net loss).

20. Apple’s gross profit rate for 2011 was 40.5% [($108,249 – $64,431) ÷ $108,249]. Its gross profit rate in 2010 was 39.4% [($65,225 – $39,541) ÷ $65,225] so the rate increased from 2010 to 2011.

*21. The columns are:

(a) Inventory—Trial Balance (Dr.), Adjusted Trial Balance (Dr.), and Balance Sheet (Dr.).

(b) Cost of Goods Sold—Trial Balance (Dr.), Adjusted Trial Balance (Dr.), and Income Statement (Dr.).

BRIEF EXERCISE 5-8

As the name suggests, numerous steps are required in determining net income in a multiple-step income statement. In contrast, only one step is required to compute net income in a single-step income statement. A multiple-step statement has five sections whereas a single-step statement has only two sections. The multiple-step statement provides more detail than a single-step statement, but net income is the same under both statements.

Some of the differences in presentation can be seen from the comparative information presented below.
