Situation

A client, Blaedon Co., sells lawn mowers and garden tillers. The garden tillers are purchased from Bestbuilt Tillers and sold to customers without modification. The lawn mowers, however, are purchased from several contractors. Blaedon then makes ongoing design refinements to the mowers before selling them to customers.

The lawn mowers cost $200. Blaedon then makes the design refinements at a cost of $85 per lawn mower. Blaedon stores the lawn mowers in its own warehouse and sells them directly to retailers at a list price of $500. Blaedon uses the FIFO inventory method. Approximately two-thirds of new lawn mower sales involve trade-ins. For each used lawn mower traded in and returned to Blaedon, retailers receive a $40 allowance regardless of whether the trade-in was associated with a sale of a year 2 or year 3 model. Blaedon's net realizable value on a used lawn mower averages $25.

At December 31, year 2, Blaedon's inventory of new lawn mowers includes both year 2 and year 3 models. When the year 3 model was introduced in September year 2, the list price of the remaining year 2 model lawn mowers was reduced below cost. Blaedon is experiencing rising costs.

Blaedon has contacted your firm for advice on how to report the carrying value of inventory, the impact of the decline in value on the year 2 models, and the effects of using the FIFO method on their December 31, year 2 financial statements.

Assume that Blaedon had the following information regarding the garden tiller inventory:

Purchases	$210,000
Purchase discounts	38,000
Purchase returns	17,500
Freight-in	12,100
Freight-out	18,000
Beginning inventory	42,900
Ending inventory	34,250

Calculate the following items:

1. Goods available for sale	???
2. Costs of goods sold	???
