2) Company GHI needs to figure out the inventory ending balance on December 31, 2014. The company knows the following information: B.B. Inventory: $1,300; Purchases: $1,700; Cost-of-goods sold in 2014: $2,000.What is the ending inventory on December 31, 2014?
Answer:
1.
Cash Received 10,000
Net Book Value Disposed 14,000 = 50,000 – (50,000 – 5,000)*8/10
2.
COGS = B.B. Inventory + Purchases – E.B. Inventory
E.B. Inventory = B.B. Inventory + Purchases – COGS
E.B. Inventory = 1,300 + 1,700 – 2,000
= $1,000.
