- A.
Cost of goods sold on the income statement
- B.
Cost of goods sold on the balance sheet
- C.
Inventory on the balance sheet
- D.

This is because inventory represents the goods that the business has on hand and is available for sale. It is an asset that is expected to be converted into cash in the future. The cost of goods sold is the expense that is recognized when the goods are sold to customers, and it is recorded on the income statement. Therefore, the correct answer is inventory on the balance sheet.Rate this question:

The following entry was taken from James Merchandising Company:Cost of goods sold $3,000Merchandise Inventory $3,000What affect does this transaction have on the accounting equation?
- A.
Assets and equity will decrease
- B.
Assets and equity will increase
- C.
Assets will decrease and equity will increase
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Assets and equity will decreaseExplanation
This transaction affects the accounting equation by decreasing both assets and equity. The cost of goods sold represents the expense incurred by the company to produce or purchase the goods that were sold. This expense reduces the value of the merchandise inventory, which is an asset. Additionally, since equity is calculated as assets minus liabilities, a decrease in assets will also result in a decrease in equity. Therefore, the correct answer is that assets and equity will decrease.Rate this question:

- A.
The goods leave the seller's business
- B.
Cash is received from a sale on account
- C.
A sales order has been received
- D.
Legal ownership of goods has been transferred from the seller to the buyer
Correct Answer
D. Legal ownership of goods has been transferred from the seller to the buyerExplanation
Sales revenues are usually considered earned when legal ownership of goods has been transferred from the seller to the buyer. This means that the buyer has taken possession of the goods and has the right to use them as they see fit. This is the point at which the seller can recognize the revenue from the sale, as they have fulfilled their obligation to deliver the goods to the buyer. The other options, such as when the goods leave the seller's business or when cash is received from a sale on account, do not necessarily indicate that legal ownership has been transferred.Rate this question:

Since the receivable was collected within the discount period, Garrison Company would receive a $60 discount (1% of $6,000). Therefore, the amount Gibbson Company would collect from Garrison Company is $6,000 - $60 = $5,940.Rate this question:

- D.
Debit accounts payable, credit merchandise inventory for $1,900
Correct Answer
A. Debit accounts payable for $1,900, credit merchandise inventory for $38 and credit cash for $1,862Explanation
When Kohen Sales Company purchased the merchandise on account, they would debit accounts payable for the full amount of $1,900. However, since they paid within the discount period, they are eligible for a discount. The discount is calculated as 2% of the purchase amount, which is $38. This discount is credited to the merchandise inventory account. The remaining amount of $1,862 is the cash paid to settle the account, which is also credited to the cash account. Therefore, the correct entry would be to debit accounts payable for $1,900, credit merchandise inventory for $38, and credit cash for $1,862.Rate this question:

- A.
Transportation-in
- B.

FOB Destination is the correct answer because it indicates to the buyer that the merchandise is free of transportation charges. FOB stands for "Free On Board" and it is a shipping term that determines who is responsible for the transportation costs. In this case, FOB Destination means that the seller is responsible for the transportation costs until the merchandise reaches the buyer's specified destination. Therefore, the buyer can be assured that they will not have to pay any additional transportation charges for the merchandise.Rate this question:

- A.
Cost of goods sold inventory
- B.
A current asset
- C.
Work in process inventory
- D.
Property plant and equipment
Correct Answer
B. A current assetExplanation
Merchandise inventory is reported on the balance sheet as a current asset because it is expected to be sold within one year or one operating cycle. Current assets are those that are expected to be converted into cash or used up within a short period of time, typically within one year. Since merchandise inventory is held for the purpose of sale, it is considered a current asset as it is expected to be sold and converted into cash in the near future.Rate this question:

Gross margin refers to the difference between sales revenue and the cost of goods sold. It represents the amount of money left over after deducting the direct costs associated with producing the goods or services.

Which of the following accounts would most likely appear on the income statement for a merchandising company, but not on the income statement for a service company?
- A.
Payroll Tax Expense
- B.
Selling & Administrative Expenses
- C.
Revenue
- D.
Cost of Goods Sold
Correct Answer
D. Cost of Goods SoldExplanation
Cost of Goods Sold is an account that represents the direct costs incurred in producing or purchasing the goods that a merchandising company sells. It includes the cost of materials, labor, and overhead directly related to the production of goods. Since a service company does not sell goods, it does not have any costs directly associated with producing goods, and therefore, Cost of Goods Sold would not appear on its income statement. Instead, a service company would typically have expenses related to providing services, such as Payroll Tax Expense and Selling & Administrative Expenses, along with revenue from providing those services.Rate this question:

Cost of goods sold
- B.
Inventory
- C.

- D.

Correct Answer
A. Cost of goods soldExplanation
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the sales revenue. This is because the cost of goods sold represents the direct expenses incurred in producing or acquiring the goods that are sold. By deducting these costs from the sales revenue, we can determine the profit generated solely from the production and sale of goods, before considering other expenses such as operating expenses or selling expenses. Therefore, the cost of goods sold is the correct answer for calculating gross profit.Rate this question:

Current assets are resources that are expected to be converted into cash or used up within a short period of time. Since merchandise inventory is a key component of a company's operations and can be readily converted into cash through sales, it is classified as a current asset on the balance sheet.Rate this question:

- A.
Debit inventory, credit purchase returns
- B.
Credit inventory, debit accounts payable
- C.
Debit inventory, credit accounts payable
- D.
Credit inventory, debit purchase returns
Correct Answer
B. Credit inventory, debit accounts payableExplanation
In a perpetual inventory system, the return of goods is recorded by reducing the inventory value and reducing the accounts payable. Since Sebastian returned $300 worth of goods, the inventory should be credited to decrease its value, and the accounts payable should be debited to reflect the reduction in the amount owed to Nemo Incorporated.Rate this question:

- A.
63%
- B.
38%
- C.
36%
- D.
31%
Correct Answer
B. 38%Explanation
The gross profit ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the net sales and multiplying by 100. In this case, the net sales can be calculated by subtracting the ending merchandise inventory ($492) from the total sales ($8,000). The gross profit can be calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the net sales. Since the cost of goods sold is not provided, it cannot be calculated accurately. However, the gross profit ratio can still be estimated by assuming a reasonable cost of goods sold. Therefore, the correct answer is 38% based on this estimation.Rate this question:

By debiting inventory, Sebastian Merchandising increases the value of their inventory to reflect the cost of the goods and the freight charges. By crediting cash, they show that they have paid for the goods and the freight charges.Rate this question:

Gibbson Company sold inventory that cost $4,000 to Garrison Company for $6,000. The inventory was sold under the terms 1/10, n/30. The receivable was collected within the discount period. The goods were delivered FOB destination and freight costs of $200 were paid in cash. Based on this information alone (and assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system), what would be the amount of gross margin that would show up on Gibbson's income statement?
- A.
$1,800
- B.
$2,000
- C.
$1,740
- D.
$1,940
Correct Answer
D. $1,940Explanation
The gross margin is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the sales revenue. In this case, the sales revenue is $6,000, which is the amount received from selling the inventory. The cost of goods sold is the cost of the inventory, which is $4,000. Since the inventory was sold within the discount period, the company would receive a 1% discount on the sales price, which is $60. Therefore, the cost of goods sold would be $4,000 - $60 = $3,940. The gross margin would be $6,000 - $3,940 = $2,060. However, since the question asks for the amount of gross margin that would show up on Gibbson's income statement, we need to subtract the freight costs of $200 that were paid in cash. Therefore, the correct answer is $2,060 - $200 = $1,860.Rate this question:

The gross profit ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the gross sales and multiplying by 100. In this case, the gross profit ratio would be ($270,000 / $675,000) * 100 = 40%.

The total amount of merchandise purchased for the year can be calculated by adding the beginning inventory to the cost of goods sold and subtracting the ending inventory. In this case, the beginning inventory is $8,000, the ending inventory is $6,000, and the cost of goods sold is $60,000, so the total amount of merchandise purchased is $58,000.Rate this question:

A. $6,140Explanation
The inventory value on Garrison Company's balance sheet would be $6,140. This is because the inventory was sold for $6,000, but since the receivable was collected within the discount period, a 1% discount of $60 would be applied. Additionally, the freight costs of $200 would also be included in the inventory value. Therefore, the total inventory value would be $6,000 + $60 + $200 = $6,260.Rate this question:

Holland Company uses a periodic inventory system. The beginning balance in inventory was $34,000 on January 1, 2006. During the first six months of the year, Holland purchased $275,000 worth of merchandise inventory and had net sales amounting to $440,000. Holland's normal gross profit ratio on products sold is 40%. On July 1, 2006, a tornado hit Holland and destroyed the building that housed the company. Based on the above information provided above, what is the estimated inventory loss that Holland will incur?
- A.
$133,000
- B.
$34,000
- C.
$45,000
- D.
$309,000
Correct Answer
C. $45,000Explanation
The estimated inventory loss that Holland will incur is $45,000. This can be calculated by finding the cost of goods sold (COGS) for the first six months, which is the sum of the beginning inventory ($34,000) and the purchases ($275,000), and then subtracting the gross profit from the net sales. The gross profit is calculated by multiplying the net sales ($440,000) by the gross profit ratio (40%). Therefore, the COGS is $309,000 and the gross profit is $176,000. Subtracting the gross profit from the net sales gives us the estimated inventory loss of $45,000.Rate this question:
