Jillet Corporation began the year with inventory of 19,000 units of its only product. The units cost $8 each. The company uses a perpetual inventory system and the FIFO cost method. The following transactions occurred during the year:

Purchased 95,000 additional units at a cost of $10 per unit. Terms of the purchases were 2/10, n/30. The company uses the gross method to record purchase discounts. The inventory was purchased f.o.b. shipping point and additional freight costs of $0.50 per unit were charged to Jillet.

1,900 units purchased during the year were returned to suppliers for credit. Jillet was also given credit for the freight charges of $0.50 per unit on the original purchase. The units were defective and were returned two days after they were received. The remaining inventory was paid within the discount period. (Hint: The discount applies only to inventory and not the freight.)

Sales for the year totaled 90,000 units at $18 per unit. (Hint: The cost of the inventory sold includes the purchase cost of those units plus freight less purchase discount.)
