As the manager of the accounts receivable department for Katrin Leather Goods, Ltd., you recently noticed that Simmy Santos, your accounts receivable clerk who is paid P12,000 per month, has been wearing unusually tasteful and expensive clothing (this is Katrin's first year in business). This morning, Santos drove up to work in a brand new Vios. Naturally suspicious by nature, you decide to test the accuracy of the accounts receivable balance of P1,320,000 as shown in the ledger. The following information is available for your first year (precisely 9 months ended September 30, 20x7) in business Collection from customers = 1,980,000 Merchandise purchased = 3,600,000 Ending merchandise inventory = 900,000 Goods are marked to sell at 40% above cost
