- Inventory Valuation You are engaged in an audit of Roche Mfg. Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. To reduce the workload at year-end, Roche took its annual physical inventory under your observation on November 30, 2019. Roches inventory account, which includes raw materials and work in process, is on a perpetual basis, and it uses the first-in, first-out method of pricing. It has no finished goods inventory. The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of 60,570 was understated by 3,000. To avoid distorting the interim financial statements, Roche decided not to adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items. Your audit revealed this information about the November 30 inventory: Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overpriced by 2,200. Footing and extension errors resulted in a 150 understatement of the physical inventory. Direct labor included in the physical inventory amounted to 10,000. Overhead was included at the rate of 200% of direct labor. You determined that the amount of direct labor was correct and the overhead rate was proper. The physical inventory included obsolete materials recorded at 250. During December, these materials were removed from the inventory account by a charge to cost of sales. Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31, 2019, inventory. Total debits to certain accounts during December are: The cost of sales of 68,600 included direct labor of 13,800. Normal scrap loss on established product lines is negligible. However, a special order started and completed during December had excessive scrap loss of 800 which was charged to Manufacturing Overhead Expense. Required: 1. Compute the correct amount of the physical inventory at November 30, 2019. 2. Without prejudice to your solution to Requirement 1, assume that the correct amount of the inventory at November 30, 2019, was 57,700. Compute the amount of the inventory at December 31,2019.arrow_forwardInventory Purchase Price Volatility In 2019, Steel Technologies Inc. changed from the LIFO to the FIFO method for its inventory costing. Steel Technologies' annual report indicated that this change had been instituted because the price at which the firm purchased steel was highly volatile. Required: Explain how FIFO cost of goods sold and ending inventory would be different from LIFO when prices are volatile.arrow_forwardThe following items were included in Venicio Corporations inventory account on December 31, 2019: What amount should Venicio report as inventory at December 31, 2019? a. 21,000 b. 20,400 c. 26,000 d. 35,000arrow_forward
- Inventory Write-Down The inventories of Berry Company for the years 2019 and 2020 are as follows: Berry uses a perpetual inventory system and the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. Required: 1. Assume the inventory that existed at the end of 2019 was sold in 2020. Prepare the necessary journal entries at the end of each year to record the correct inventory valuation if Berry uses the: a. direct method b. allowance method 2. Next Level Explain any differences in inventory valuation and income between the two methods.arrow_forwardRetail Inventory Method The following data were available from Hegge Department Stores records for the year ended December 31, 2019: Required: Using the retail method, what is the estimate of the merchandise inventory at December 31, 2019, valued at the lower of cost or market: Round the cost-to-retail ratio to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardSchmidt Company began operations on January 1, 2018, and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. However, at the beginning of 2020, Schmidt decided to switch to the average cost inventory method for financial and income tax reporting. It had previously reported the following financial statement information for 2019: An analysis of the accounting records discloses the following cost of goods sold under the LIFO and average cost inventory methods: There are no indirect effects of the change in inventory method. Revenues for 2020 total 130,000; operating expenses for 2020 total 30,000. Schmidt is subject to a 21% income tax rate in all years; it pays all income taxes payable in the next quarter. Assume that any deferred tax liability was paid in the subsequent year. Schmidt had 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding during all years; it paid dividends of 1 per share in 2020. At the end of 2020, Schmidt had cash of 15,600, inventory of 34,000, other assets of 76,000, income taxes payable of 4,200, and accounts payable of 3,000. It desires to show financial statements for the current year and previous year in its 2020 annual report. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to reflect the change in method at the beginning of 2020. Show supporting calculations. 2. Prepare the 2020 financial statements.
