3 PROBLEMS
PROBLEM NO. 1 PASSAGE OF TITLE Gobel Company reviewed its inventories and found the following items:
1
In the shipping room was a product costing $13,400 when the physical count was taken. Because it was marked "Hold for shipping instructions", it was not included in the count. The customer order was dated December 15, but the product was shipped and the customer billed on January 4, 2010.
2
On December 27, 2009, merchandise costing $11,648 was received and recorded. The invoice accompanying the merchandise was marked "on consignment."
3
The company received merchandise costing $4,625 on January 2, 2010. The invoice which was recorded on January 3, 2010 showed shipment was made under FOB shipping point on December 31, 2009. The merchandise was not included in the inventory because it was not on hand when the physical count was taken.
4
A product, fabricated to order for a particular customer was completed and in the shipping room on December 31. Although it was shipped on January 5, 2010, the customer was billed on December 31, 2009 and it was excluded from the inventory.
5
Merchandise costing $16,666 was received on January 5, 2010, and the related purchase invoice was recorded January 6. The shipment of this merchandise was made on December 31, 2009, FOB destination.
6
A product costing $150,000 was sold on an installment basis on December 10, 2009. It was delivered to the customer on that date. The product was included in inventory because the company still holds legal title. The company's experience suggests that full payment on installment sales is reasonably assured.
7
An item costing $65,000 was sold and delivered to the customer on December 29, 2009. The goods were included in the inventory because the sale was with a repurchase agreement that require Gpbel Company to buyback the inventory on January 15, 2010.
REQUIRED:
Indicate which of the above items are to be included in the inventory balance at December 31, 2009. State your reason for the treatment you suggest.
Solution: 1. Included - Merchandise, except "special orders" should be included in the inventory until shipped. 2. Excluded - Gobel Company does not possess legal title because the merchandise was received on a consignment basis. 3. Included - Because the purchase was made under FOB shipping point term, the merchandise should be included in the inventory on the shipping date. 4. Excluded - A product that is manufactured for a particular customer (special order) is considered sold upon its completion. 5. Excluded - The merchandise was purchased under FOB destination term and was
not received until January 5, 2009. 6. Excluded - The sale is recognized even though legal title has not passed. 7. Included - This is actually a loan transaction with the inventory as collateral.
