All one question, just screenshots from Part 1 and 2.
The December 31, 2018, inventory of Tog Company, based on a physical count, was determined to be $457,000. Included in that count was a shipment of goods received from a supplier at the end of the month that cost $57,000. The purchase was recorded and paid for in 2019. Another supplier shipment costing $23,500 was correctly recorded as a purchase in 2018. However, the merchandise, shipped FOB shipping point, was not received until 2019 and was incorrectly omitted from the physical count. A third purchase, shipped from a supplier FOB shipping point on December 28, 2018, did not arrive until January 3, 2019. The merchandise, which cost $87,000, was not included in the physical count and the purchase has not yet been recorded.
The company uses a periodic inventory system.
