To determine

Record the transactions of Incorporation Y, assuming that it uses a FIFO perpetual inventory system to maintain its inventory records.

Explanation of Solution

Perpetual Inventory System:

Perpetual Inventory System refers to the inventory system that maintains the detailed records of every inventory transactions related to purchases, and sales on a continuous basis. It shows the exact on-hand-inventory at any point of time.

First-in First-Out method (FIFO):

Under FIFO method the cost of first acquired items is assigned to sales first. The value of the closing stock includes the cost of recently acquired item.

November 2: Purchased 90 units at the rate of $100 each on account:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 2	Inventory		9,000
	Accounts Payable			9,000
	(To record the purchase of inventories on account)

Table (1)

• Inventory is an asset and increased by $9,000. Therefore, debit the inventory account with $9,000.
• Accounts payable is a liability and increased by $9,000. Therefore, credit the accounts payable account with $9,000.

November 3: Paid a freight charge of $231:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 3	Inventory		231
	Cash			231
	(To record the payment of freight charge)

Table (2)

• Inventory is an asset and increased by $231. Therefore, debit the merchandised inventory account with $231.
• Cash is an asset and decreased by $231. Therefore, credit the cash account with $231.

November 9: Inventories 13 units returned to suppliers:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 9	Accounts Payable		1,300
	Inventory			1,300
	(To record the purchase return to the supplier)

Table (3)

Working Note:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Value of inventory returned=Number of units returned}\times \text{Rate per unit}\\ \text{=13 units}\times \text{\$100}\\ \text{=\$1,300}\end{array}$

• Accounts Payable is liability and decreased by $1,300. Therefore, debit the accounts payable account with $1,300.
• Inventory is an asset and decreased by $1,300. Therefore, credit the merchandised inventory account with $1,300.

November 11: Company T paid full amount due:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 11	Accounts Payable		7,700
	Inventory			231
	Cash			7,469
	(To record the payment made to the supplier)

Table (4)

Working Note:

Compute the amount of purchase discount:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Dicount Amount }=\left[\begin{array}{c}\left(\text{Invoice Price}-\text{Purchase Return}\right)\\ \times \text{ Rate of Discount}\end{array}\right]\\ =\left(\text{\$9,000}-\$1,300\right)\times \text{2\%}\\ =\text{\$231}\end{array}$ (3)

Compute the amount due to the supplier:

Compute the accounts payable:

Invoice price = $9,000 (1)

Purchase return = $1,300 (2)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Accounts payable}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Invoice price }-\\ \text{Purchase return}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$9,000-\$1,300\\ =\$7,700\end{array}$ (4)

Compute the total amount due to the suppliers:

Accounts receivables = $7,700(4)

Purchase discount = $231 (3)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Amount due to the suppliers}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Accounts Receviables }\\ -\text{Purchase discount}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$7,700-\$231\\ =\$7,469\end{array}$ (5)

• Accounts Payable is a liability and decreased by $7,700. Therefore, debit the accounts payable account with $7,700.
• Merchandised inventory is an asset and decreased by $231. Therefore, credit the merchandised inventory account with $231.
• Cash is an asset and decreased by $7,469. Therefore, credit cash account with $7,469.

	(To record the sale of inventory)

Table (5)

• Accounts Receivable is an asset account and increased by $14,000. Therefore, debit the accounts Receivable account with $14,000.
• Sales revenue is an equity account and increased by $14,000. Therefore, credit the sales revenue account with $14,000.

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 16	Cost of Goods Sold		9,640
	Inventory			9,640
	(To record the cost of goods sold)

• Cost of goods sold is an expense and has increased, which has decreased the equity by $8,440. Therefore, debit cost of goods sold account with $9,640.
• Inventory is an asset and decreased by $8,440. Therefore, credit the inventory account with $9,640.

November 20: Received full payment from customers on account:

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)

To determine

Record the necessary adjustment for lower of cost and net realizable value.

Explanation of Solution

Record the necessary adjustment for lower of cost and net realizable value.

Date	Account Title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
November 30	Cost of Goods Sold		391
	Inventory			391
	(To record the adjustment for lower of cost and net realizable value)

Table (11)

• Cost of goods sold is an expense and increased which has decreased the equity by $391. Therefore, debit cost of goods sold account with $391.
• Merchandised inventory is an asset and decreased by $391. Therefore, credit the merchandised inventory account with $391.

Working note:

Calculation of Cost of Ending Inventory
Details	Number of Units	Rate per Unit ($)	Total Cost ($)
November 21	17	104	1,768
Ending Inventory	17		1,768

Table (12)

The ending inventory is adjusted at the cost of the inventory or net realizable value whichever is less. The cost of the FIFO ending inventory is $\left(\text{17Units×\$104}\right)$ $1,768 whereas the net realizable value of ending inventory $\left(\text{17Units×\$81}\right)$ is $1,377. Hence, the net realizable value of $391 which is the lesser amount is the amount to which the ending inventory is to be adjusted to.

3.

To determine

Prepare the top section of the multiple-step income statement through gross profit for the month of November after the adjustment for lower of cost and net realizable value.

Explanation of Solution

Prepare the top section of the multiple-step income statement through gross profit for the month of November after the adjustment for lower of cost and net realizable value.

Incorporation Y
Multi-step Income Statement (Partial)
For the month of November
Particulars	$
Net sales	26,600
Less: Cost of goods sold	19,243
Gross Profit	7,357

Table (12)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold=}\left(\text{Cost of units sold+Write down to net realizable value}\right)\\ =\left(\$9,640+\$9,212\right)+\$391\\ =\left(\$18,852\right)+\$391\\ =\$19,243\end{array}$
