PROBLEM 18: San Jose Corporation was organized on January 1, 2020. On December 31, 2021, the corporation lost most of its inventory in a warehouse fire just before the year end count of inventory was to take place. Data records disclosed the following:

2020       2021 

 

 Beginning inventory      P 0     P 1,020,000

 Purchases                4,300,000   3,460,000

 Purchase returns and allowances                                                   230,600     323,000

 Sales                         3,940,00    4,180,000

 Sales returns and allowances                                                        80,000     100,000 

On January 1, 2021, the corporation’s pricing policy was changed so that the gross profit rate would be 3% points higher than the one earned in 2020. Salvaged undamaged merchandise was marked to sell at P120,000 while damaged merchandise marked to sell at P80,000 had an estimated realizable value of P18,000.
