Exercises
- Inventory errors and income measurement. The income statements of Keagle Company for 20X3 and 20X4 follow.
20X3 | 20X4 | |
Sales | $100,000 | $109,000 |
Cost of goods sold | 62,000 | 74,000 |
Gross profit | $ 38,000 | $ 35,000 |
Expenses | 26,000 | 22,000 |
Net income | $ 12,000 | $ 13,000 |
A recent review of the accounting records discovered that the 20X3 ending inventory had been understated by $4,000.
- Prepare corrected 20X3 and 20X4 income statements.
- What is the effect of the error on ending owner’s equity for 20X3 and 20X4?
Problem
- Inventory valuation methods: computations and concepts. Wave Riders Surfboard Company began business on January 1 of the current year.Purchases of surfboards were as follows:
1/3: | 100 boards @ $125 |
3/17: | 50 boards @ $130 |
5/9: | 5/9: 246 boards @ $140 |
7/3: | 400 boards @ $150 |
10/23: | 74 boards @ $160 |
Wave Riders sold 710 boards at an average price of $250 per board. The company uses a periodic inventory system.
Instructions
- Calculate cost of goods sold, ending inventory, and gross profit under each of the following inventory valuation methods:
- First-in, first-out
- Last-in, first-out
- Weighted average
- Which of the three methods would be chosen if management’s goal is to
- produce an up-to-date inventory valuation on the balance sheet?
- approximate the physical flow of a sand and gravel dealer?
- report low earnings (for tax purposes) for a separate electronics company that has been experiencing declining purchase prices?

Exercise 2 and 3
- Depreciation methods. Betsy Ross Enterprises purchased a delivery van for $30,000 in January 20X7. The van was estimated to have a servicelife of 5 years and a residual value of $6,000. The company is planning to drive the van 20,000 miles annually. Compute depreciation expense for20X8 by using each of the following methods:
- Units-of-output, assuming 17,000 miles were driven during 20X8
- Straight-line
- Double-declining-balance
- Depreciation computations. Alpha Alpha Alpha, a college fraternity, purchased a new heavy-duty washing machine on January 1, 20X3. Themachine, which cost $1,000, had an estimated residual value of $100 and an estimated service life of 4 years (1,800 washing cycles). Calculatethe following:
- The machine’s book value on December 31, 20X5, assuming use of the straight-line depreciation method
- Depreciation expense for 20X4, assuming use of the units-of-output depreciation method. Actual washing cycles in 20X4 totaled 500.
- Accumulated depreciation on December 31, 20X5, assuming use of the double-declining-balance depreciation method.

Problem 2
- 2. Depreciation computations: change in estimate. Aussie Imports purchased a specialized piece of machinery for $50,000 on January 1, 20X3. Atthe time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a service life of 5 years (25,000 operating hours) and a residual value of $5,000.During the 5 years of operations (20X3-20X7), the machine was used for 5,100, 4,800, 3,200, 6,000, and 5,900 hours, respectively.
Instructions
- Compute depreciation for 20X3-20X7 by using the following methods: straight line, units of output, and double-declining-balance.
- On January 1, 20X5, management shortened the remaining service life of the machine to 20 months. Assuming use of the straight-linemethod, compute the company’s depreciation expense for 20X5.
- Briefly describe what you would have done differently in part (a) if Aussie Imports had paid $47,800 for the machinery rather than $50,000 Inaddition, assume that the company incurred $800 of freight charges $1,400 for machine setup and testing, and $300 for insurance during thefirst year of use.
