Super Rich Business Person (SRBP) just opened a new merchandising company, COMPANY 1. Assume that COMPANY 1 has the following transactions in its first month of operations in 20x2. Unless specified, assume all sales and purchases are on account (i.e., receivables and payables). Inventory vendors for COMPANY 1 provide the option of a purchase discount and free shipping on purchases greater than $120,000, but not on purchases below this amount. COMPANY 1 records the actual cost of inventory purchases, but estimates the cost of Goods Sold based on the expected average inventory costs during the year. This year's expected average inventory cost is $78. This estimated amount will be corrected based on the month-end inventory cost determination. The sale price for COMPANY 1's product is $200. Discounts are only offered to customers in the loyalty program, so only those sales transactions with terms include a discount. All sales are FOB Shipping, but shipping costs are paid for customers in the loyalty program. Sales returns are estimated at the end of the month (estimated returns are taken directly out of Sales Revenue [1.e., don't use the Sales Returns & Allowances account]). The company adjusts merchandise inventory and cost of goods sold at the end of each month based on the application of ending inventory cost flow methods. While only one cost flow method is permitted, you will calculate cost flows with the three most common methods: LIFO, FIFO, and weighted Average. The Problem has two parts: PART I includes 35 Journal entries relevant to a merchandising company. These entries need to be journalized and posted. After all entries are posted to T-accounts, an adjusted trial balance should be prepared. PART II requires the valuation of ending inventory at month's end. With the provided purchasing tiers, you will need to value ending inventory and cost of goods sold with the three primary cost flow methods, LIFO, FIFO, and Weighted- Average 1.
