Please Rate or comment if you have any doubt regarding this solution.
Particulars Amount Ending inventory-as reported 820,080 1.Subtract from inventory: The goods belong to Harmon Corporation. Schuda is merely holding them as a consignee. (258,640) 2.Add to inventory: The goods belong to Schuda as soon as they are shipped(December 28). 43,840 3.Subtract from inventory: Office supplies should be carried in a separate account.They are not considered inventory held for resale. (24,470) 4.Add to inventory: The goods belong to Schuda until they are shipped (Jan. 1). 38,700 5.Add to inventory: Reza Sales ordered goods with a cost of $9,700. Schuda should record the corresponding sales revenue of $10,890. Schuda's's decision to ship extra "unordered" goods does not constitute a sale. The manager's statement that Reza could ship the goods back indicates that Schuda knows this over-shipment is not a legitimate sale. The manager acted unethically in an attempt to improve Schuda's reported income by over-shipping. 48,080* 6.Subtract from inventory: GAAP requires that inventory be valued at the lower of cost or market. Obsolete parts should be adjusted from cost to zero if they have no other use. (45,300) Correct inventory 622,290
