Solution

1) No entry is needed. Beggining physical inventory count balance = $299,250

2) No entry needed but an adjustment to physical inventory count = +$17,097

3) Adjustment entry need to match period

Sales Dr. $16,307

Accounts Receivable Cr. $16,307

(To record the reversal of sale recorded in December as it is received by the customer on Jan. 3)

Sales wiil be recorded in the month of january because inventory is sold on f.o.b. destination basis and it is received by customer on January 3.

No adjustment needed in inventory physical count.

4) Adjustment entry need to match period

Purchases (inventory) Dr. $19,913

Accounts Payable Cr. $19,913

(To record the inventory purchased as it is unrecorded on December 31)

No adjustment needed in inventory physical count.

5)  No entry needed but an adjustment to physical inventory count = + $10,880

6) No entry needed. Adjustment to physical inventory count required as consignment is not held on inventory = - $13,298

7) No entry needed because inventory is sold on the f.o.b. shipping point basis.

Adjustment to physical inventory count required = - $13,402 (cost of inventory)

8) Adjustment entry

Sales returns and allowances Dr. $3,312

Accounts Receivables Cr. $3,312

(To record merchandise returned not recorded earlier)

Adjustment to physical inventory count required = - $1,911 (cost of inventory)

Proper inventory balance on December 31, 2014 = $299,250+$17,097+$10,880-$13,298-$13,402-$1,911

= $298,616
