Explanation of Solution
Purchase of inventory:
- Purchases (stockholders equity) are increased. Thus, purchases are debited with $1,160.
- Accounts Payable (liabilities account) is increased. Thus, it is credited with $1,160.
Sale of inventory:
- Accounts receivable (Asset Account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $2,600.
- Sales revenue (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is credited with $2,600.
Transferring the beginning inventory to Cost of Goods Sold:
- Cost of goods sold (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $560.
- Inventory (Asset account) is decreased. Thus, it is credited with $560.
Transferring the purchases to Cost of Goods Sold:
- Cost of goods sold (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $1,160.
- Purchases (stockholders equity) are decreased. Thus, purchases are credited with $1,160.
Update the ending inventory based on physical count:
- Inventory (asset account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $640.
- Cost of Goods Sold (Stockholders Equity) is decreased. Thus, it is credited with $640.

- What is the investment turnover for this financial accounting question?arrow_forwardSuppose you take out a five-year car loan for $14000, paying an annual interest rate of 4%. You make monthly payments of $258 for this loan. Complete the table below as you pay off the loan. Months Amount still owed 4% Interest on amount still owed (Remember to divide by 12 for monthly interest) Amount of monthly payment that goes toward paying off the loan (after paying interest) 0 14000 1 2 3 + LO 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 11 12 What is the total amount paid in interest over this first year of the loan?arrow_forwardSuppose you take out a five-year car loan for $12000, paying an annual interest rate of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216 for this loan. mocars Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe 0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest (and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan. (Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46 pays down your loan. The values from above are included…arrow_forward
