  1. Income Tax Expense was $80,000 for Amazon Company. The tax rate was 40%. Other Expenses for Amazon.com was $10,000. General & Administrative expenses were 20,000. Net Sales for Amazon was $400,000. Determine Amazon’s cost of goods sold.
  2. $210,000
  3. $200,000
  4. $190,000
  5. $180,000

Income Before Taxes X 0.4 = $80,000

Income Before taxes = $80,000/0.4 = $200,000

Income From operations – other expenses = Income before taxes

Income from operations = $200,000-10,000

= $190,000

Gross profit = Income from operations + G&A

= $190,000+20,000

= $210,000

Net sales – COGS = gross profit

COGS = net sales – gross profit = $400,000-210,000 = $190,000

  2. $5,000
  3. $11,000
  4. $6,000
  5. $3,000

COGS = Beg Inv + Purchases – Ending Inv

= 2000 + 7000 – 4000

= $5,000

  1. Under the perpetual inventory system,
  2. There is a purchase account involved
  3. As inventory is sold, no entry is needed
  4. To account for ending inventory, purchases account is closed and cost of goods sold is created
  5. Inventory is increased as purchased, and reduced as sold
  1. On March 1st, Kellogg’s Company made gross sales of $400,000 with terms 2/10,n30. The customer later returned goods worth $20,000 because of defect on March 3rd. Calculate the net sales of Kellogg’s company assuming the customer rendered full payment on March 9th in the same year.
  2. $380,000
  3. $360,000
  4. $372,000
  5. $372,400

Net sales = Gross sales – sales return & allowance – sales discounts

= 400,000 – 20,000 – [((400,000-20,000) X 2%)

= 372,400

  1. Which of the following parties would have a raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory and finished goods inventory?
  2. A retailer
  3. A manufacturer
  4. A distributor
  5. None of the above
  1. Under which of the following inventory methods, cost of goods sold would generally be the highest?
  2. FIFO
  3. LIFO
  4. Weighted-average method
  5. Specific identification method

Answer questions 10, 11 and 12 based on the following information :

September 1 – Inventory balance on hand is $5,000 (500 units of inventory)

6 – Purchased 200 units @ $10.50 each

7 – Sold 500 units @ $15.00 each

8 – Purchased 200 units @ $11 each

19 – Sold 300 units @ $15.00 each

  1. Assuming the above company uses the FIFO inventory method, what would the cost of goods sold be?
  2. $8,000
  3. $8,050
  4. $8,200
  5. $9,600

[(500 units X $10) + (200units X $10.50) + (100units X $11)]

  1. Now assume the company uses a LIFO inventory method, what would the ending balance in inventory be at the end of September?
  2. $1,000
  3. $1,200
  4. $1,400
  5. $1,600

Since its LIFO, only the first 100 units in beginning inventory will be left. Each units costs $10, so 100 X $10 = $1,000

  1. Assuming the company uses the LIFO inventory method, what would gross profitbe?
  2. $3,000
  3. $3,700
  4. $3,900
  5. $4,200

From previously, ending inv of LIFO would be $1,000.

Beg Inv = $5,000

Net sales = (500X$15.00 + 300 X $15.00) = $12,000

COGS = Beg Inv + Purchases – EI

= 5000 + 4,300 – 1,000

= 8,300

Gross profit = net sales –COGS

= 12,000 – 8,300

= $3,700

  1. According to the lower-of cost or market rule, what would the inventory balance be based on the following information?

  1. $1,400
  2. $1,550
  3. $1,600

  1. Maxis Corporation has beginning balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $2,000. Assuming credit sales totaled $50,000 and Celcom estimates 5% of net credit sales to be bad debt, what amount of bad debt expense would be recorded if Celcom uses the balance sheet method?
  2. $500
  3. $2,500
  4. $2,000
  5. $1,500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Beginning balance 2,000
Bad debt expense $5,00
Ending Balance $2, 500 (50,000 X 5%)

In this case, bad debt expense is a plug figure.

  1. Assume beginning balance of a company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is $4,000. Net credit sales are $250,000 and 4% is estimated as bad debt. If the income statement method was used, what would bad debt expense be?
  2. $6,000
  3. $10,000
  4. $14,000
  5. None of the above

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Beginning balance 4,000
Bad debt expense $10,000 (250,000 X 4%)

Since it’s the income statement method, bad debt expense is directly calculated from thje percentage of credit sales.

  1. Maxwell Company uses the income statement method for estimated bad debt expense. It estimates 2% of its $500,000 credit sales to be bad debt. Assume the beginning balance in the allowance for doubtful account was $4,000 and ending balance was $8,000. Determine the amount of write-off’s that the company made during the year.
  2. $2,000
  3. $4,000
  4. $6,000
  5. $8,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Beginning balance 4,000
Write off $6, 000 / Bad debt expense 10,000
Ending Balance 8,000

  2. $556
  3. $667
  4. $1,000
  5. $500

$20,000 X 5% X 8/12 = $667

  1. An equipment had a life of 8 years, cost of $20,000 and salvage value of $2,000. What is the depreciation expense for this equipment in the first year?
  2. $2,250
  3. $2,500
  4. $3,000
  5. $4,000

($20,000-2000) / 8 = $2,250

  1. Cy purchased a building with an estimated life of 10 years, for $200,000. The building is expected to have $20,000 in salvage value at the end of its life. Using the double declining balance method, what would accumulated depreciation be in the second year?
  2. $32,000
  3. $40,000
  4. $ 72,000
  5. $20,000

Step 1 : Calculate DDRate = 1/10 X 2 = 0.20
Step 2 : Calculate depreciation expense for years 1 and 2.

Year 1 : DDR X BV = 0.2 X 200,000 = $40,000

Year 2 : 0.20 X (200,000-40,000) = $32,000

Accumulated depreciation = $40,000 + $32,000 = $72,000

  1. The copy machine of Iowa State had an estimated useful life of 8 years. After its 5th year of use, the machine was sold for $5,000. The cost of the machine originally was $15,000. Assuming at the end of the 5th year, the accumulated depreciation was $5,000. What was the gain / loss on the sale of the copy machine?
  2. Gain of $5,000
  3. Loss of $5,000
  4. Gain of $15,000
  5. Loss of $10,000

BV of machine at selling date = cost – acc dep = $15,000 – 5,000 = $10,000

Selling price = $5,000

So, 10,000 – 5,000 = Loss of $5,000
