VIII: EVALUATION OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Beside formal classroom lectures and theoretical discussions, the students will
also be introduced to class Self-study questions, questions, exercises, problems,
and case-study and discussion that will provide them with a more comprehensive
learning package in this course.
It is expected that formal class discussions will provide the conceptual and
knowledge-oriented learning, while the class exercises and case study will
provide students the experiential, development and sharpening of their
managerial skills. Through this process, students can become more involved in
the learning process. It is therefore essential that students participate
actively in class discussions and during the Q & A group case study
presentations. The class exercises and case study are generally action oriented in
that individuals or groups of students investigate a situation, develop conclusions,
and/or recommendations, and present their ideas/views to their class colleagues.

I. MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN MERCHANDISING
BUSINESSES

Up to this point you have studied business and accounting issue related to the
simplest type of business- the service business. Service business, such as
advertising agencies and law firms, perform services for fees or commissions.
Merchandising business, on the other hand, earn income by buying and selling
products or merchandise. These companies, whether wholesale or retail, use the
same basic accounting methods as do service companies, but the buying and
selling of merchandise adds to the complexity of the process.

Cash Flow Management

The Operating Cycle of Merchandising Concerns

Purchases

Cash
Merchandise
inventory
Sales for Cash
Sales on Credit
Accounts Receivable
Collection of
Cash


Profitability Management
Profitability management is a complex activity that includes setting
appropriate prices on merchandise, purchasing merchandise at favorable
price and terms, and maintaining acceptable levels of expenses.

Choice of Inventory System
Under the periodic inventory system, the inventory on hand is counted
periodically, usually at the end of the accounting period. No detailed
records of the actual inventory on hand are maintained during the
accounting period. Under the perpetual inventory system, continuous
records are kept of the quantity and, usually, the cost of individual items
as they are bought and sold.
Control of Merchandising Operations
The principal transactions of merchandising businesses, which involve
buying and selling, are covered by asset accounts-Cash, Accounts
Receivable, and Merchandise Inventory-that are vulnerable to theft and
embezzlement.

II. MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN MERCHANDISING
BUSINESSES

Service companies, as illustrated thus far in this book, requires only a
simple income statement. For those companies, as shown in Figure 2, net
income represents the difference between revenues and expenses. But
merchandising companies, because they buy and sell merchandise
inventory require a more complex income statement. The income

statement for a merchandiser has four major parts: (1) net sales, (2) cost
of goods sold, (3) operating expenses, and (4) income taxes.

The Components of Income Statements for Service and
Merchandising Companies

Service Business
Fees earned $XXX
Operating expenses XXX
Net income $XXX

Merchandising Business
Sales $XXX
Cost of Goods Sold XXX
Gross Profit $ XXX
Operating Expenses XXX
Net Income $XXX

Net Sales
The first major part of the merchandising income statement is net sales, or
often simply sales. Net sales consist of the gross proceeds from sales of
merchandise, or gross sales, less sales returns and allowances. Gross sales
consist of total cash sales and total credit sales occurring during an
accounting period.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Second part of the merchandising income statement is cost of goods sold,
or often simply cost of sales, which is the amount a merchant paid for the
merchandise sold during an accounting period.
Gross Margin
The percentage of gross margin is computed by dividing the dollar amount of
gross margin by net sales.
Operating Expenses
The third major area of the merchandising income statement consists of
operating expenses, which are the expenses other than cost of goods sold that
are incurred in running a business. The latter cost is often called freight out
expense or delivery expense. Careful planning and control of operating
expenses can improve a companys profitability.
Income Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes is also referred to as operating income or income
from operations because it represents the income from a companys normal,
or main, business.
Income Taxes
Current federal income tax rates for corporations can vary from 15 percent to
38 percent depending on the amount of income before income taxes and other
factors.

Net Income
Net income, the final figure or bottom line of the income statement, is what
remains after operating expenses and income taxes are deducted from gross
margin. Both management and investors often use net income to measure
whether a business has been operating successfully during the past accounting
period.
III. Inventory Systems

As we have seen, merchandising inventory is a key factor in determining the
cost of goods sold. Consequently, every merchandiser needs a useful and reliable
system for determining both the quality and the cost of the goods on hand. The
two basic systems of accounting for the number of items in the merchandise
inventory are the periodic inventory system and the perpetual inventory system.

Periodic Method
A method of determining the cost of merchandise sold and the
amount of merchandise on hand.
Under this method, the inventory records do not show the amount
available for sale or the amount sold during the period.
Perpetual Method
Under this method, each purchase and sale of merchandise is
recorded in the inventory and the cost of merchandise sold accounts.
The amount of merchandise available for sale and the amount sold
are continuously disclosed in the inventory records.
Features:
1. Purchases increase Merchandise Inventory.
2. Freight costs, Purchase Returns and Allowances and Purchase
Discounts are included in Merchandise Inventory.
3. Cost of Goods Sold is increased and Merchandise Inventory is decreased
for each sale.
4. Physical count done to verify Merchandise Inventory balance.

The perpetual inventory system provides a continuous record of
Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold.

IV. MERCHANDISING TRANSACTIOS

Merchandising transactions can be divided into the two broad categories
of sale transactions and the purchases transactions. The ways in which
these transactions are recorded differ somewhat under the periodic and the
perpetual inventory systems.
SALES TERMS

2/10, n/30 2% discount if paid within 10 days, otherwise net
amount due within 30 days.
Freight Costs

Terms
FOB shipping point - seller places goods Free On Board the carrier, and
buyer pays freight costs.
FOB destination - seller places the goods Free On Board to the buyers
place of business, and seller pays freight costs.

Freight costs incurred by the seller on outgoing merchandise are an
operating expense to the seller (Freight-out or Delivery Expense).

Who Pays the Cost
Shipping Term Where Title Passes of Transportation

FOB shipping point at origin Buyer
FOB destination at destination Seller

Periodic Method
Features:
1. Purchases of merchandise increase Purchases.
2. Ending Inventory determined by physical count.
3. Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold:

Beginning inventory $ 100,000
Add: Purchases, net 800,000
Goods available for sale 900,000
Less: Ending inventory 125,000
Cost of goods sold $ 775,000

Separate accounts used to record purchases, freight costs, returns, and
discounts.
Company does not maintain a running account of changes in inventory.
Ending inventory determined by physical count.
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold

CHAPTER. 2 ACCOUNTING FOR RECEIVABLES

STUDY OBJECTIVE

After studying this chapter, you should
be able to:
1 Classification of Receivables
2. Internal Control of Receivables
3. Uncollectible Receivables
4. Uncollectibles Allowance Method
5. Uncollectibles Direct Write-Off Method
6. Characteristics of Notes Receivable
7. Accounting for Notes Receivable
8. Balance Sheet Presentation
9. Financial Analysis and Interpretation


In the normal course of events, accounts receivable are collected in cash and
removed from the books. However, as credit, sales and receivables have grown in
size and significance, the normal course of events has changed. There are
several reasons for the sale of receivables. First, for competitive reasons,
sellers (retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers) often must provide financing
to purchases of their goods
2
.
Goods and services are normally bought and sold on credit where payment is
made or received at a letter date then the delivery of the goods or provision of the
service. The important event for the business is the date of the purchase or the
sale and not the receipt or payment of the cash
3
.

I. Classification of Receivables
Accounts Receivable used for selling merchandise or services on credit,
and normally expected to be collected in a relatively short period.
Notes Receivable used to grant credit on the basis of a formal instrument
of credit, called a promissory note.
Other Receivables interest receivable, taxes receivable, and receivables
from officers or employees.

Note: Accounting for Sales Revenues

Assume on March 15, $1,000 of merchandise is sold on account. The terms of
the agreement are 2/10, n/30. The firm uses the gross method for record sales on
account.

Entry on date of sale:

Dr Accounts Receivable 1,000
Cr Sales.1,000

If paid within the discount period:

Dr Cash 980
Dr Sales Discounts 20
Cr Accounts Receivable 1,000

If not paid within the discount period:

Dr Cash 1,000
Cr Accounts Receivable 1,000

II. Accounting for Bad Debts

Occur when customers do not pay for items or services purchased on
credit.
Bad debts are uncollectible accounts receivable.

2
Weygandt, Kieso, and Kell, (1996), Accounting Principles , pp. 336.
3
BPP Professional Education, (2006), CAT , pp.152.

Bad Debt Expense is reported as a selling or general and administrative
expense.
Accounts receivable are reported on the balance sheet at their net
realizable value.

III. Accounting for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Two methods are used in accounting for uncollectible accounts: (1) the
the direct write-off method and (2) allowance method. Each of these methods
is explained in the following sections.

1) Direct Write off Method

This method is not consistent with the matching principle.
Accounts that prove to be uncollectible are written off in the year they
become worthless.
Uncollectible Accounts Expense is debited and Accounts Receivable is
credited for each such transaction.
Under the direct write-off method, bad debt losses are not estimated and no
allowance account is used.

Journal Entries Direct Write off Method
May.10

Cr Uncollectible Accts. Expense 420

Dr Cash 420
Cr Accts. Receivable - D. L. Ross 420
Reinstate and collect prior account written off.

2) The Allowance Method (Required by GAAP)

1. This method is consistent with the matching principle.
2. Management makes an estimate each year of the portion of
accounts receivable that may not be collectible. (Adjusting Entry
at the end of each period)
Uncollectible Accounts Expense is debited and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts is credited.
3. Actual accounts that prove to be uncollectible are debited to
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and credited to Accounts
Receivable. (Write-off)
When all means of collecting a past-due account have been
exhausted and collection appears impossible, the account should
be written off. To prevent premature write offs, each write off

should be formally approved in writing by authorized
management personnel.

Note: There are three methods of the Allowance Method
Percentage of credit sales
Percentage of accounts receivable
Aging receivables

Percentage of Credit Sales
Management establishes a percentage relationship between the
amount of credit sale and expected loss for uncollectible accounts.
The ABC Company had credit sales of $100,000. The current accounts
receivable balance is $30,500. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is
$350. Historically, 2 percent of the credit sales are not collected.

Dr Bad Debt Expense 2,000
Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 2,000
To record estimated uncollectible
accounts for the year.

Percentage of Accounts Receivable

Management establishes a percentage relationship between the
amount of receivable and the expected loss for uncollectible accounts.

The XYZ Company had credit sales of $693,000. The current accounts
receivable balance is $50,000. The allowance account balance is a credit of
$600. Historically, 3 percent of accounts receivable are not collectible.

($50,000*0.03) - $600= $900)

Aging Receivable

The analysis of customer balance by the length of time they have been
unpaid.

The ABC Company had credit sales of $100,000. The current accounts
receivable balance is $47,550. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is
credit of $620.The firm ages the accounts to determine the expected
uncollectibles.
Remember, because receivables are involved, the amount derived from aging
provides the desired balance of the allowance account.

ILLUSTRATIVE ACCOUNTING ENTRIES OF NOTE
RECEIVABEL
The accounting entries for promissory notes receivable fall into four
groups: (1) recording receipt of a note, (2) recording collection of a
note, (3) recording dishonored note, and (4) recording adjusting
entries.

(1) Recording receipt of a note,
Assume that on June 1 a 12 percent, 30-day note is received from a
customer, J.Halsted, in settlement of an existing accounts receivable of $4,000.
The entry for this transaction is as follows:

June 1. Note Receivable .$4,000
A/R.$4,000
(Received 12 percent, 30-day note in payment of account of J.
Halsted)
(2) Recording collection of a note

Jul1. Cash...$4,040
Note Receivable .$4,000
Interest Revenue 40
(Collected 12 percent, 30-day note form J. Halsted)

(3) Recording dishonored note
A dishonored note is a note that is not paid in full at maturity.

Jul1. A/R...$4,040
Note Receivable .$4,000
Interest Revenue 40
(Collected 12 percent, 30-day note dishonored by J. Halsted)

(4) Recording adjusting entries.

Examples Mikes Stores had the following select transactions.
Apr. 1, 2008 Accepted Otis Companys 1-year, 12% note in settlement
of a $30,000 accounts receivable.
July 1, 2008 Loaned $50,000 cash to Dan Hampton on a 9-month, 10%
note.
Dec. 31, 2008 Accrued interest on all notes receivable.
Apr. 1, 2009 Received principal plus interest on the Otis note.
Apr. 1, 2009 Dan Hampton dishonored its note; Mikes expects it will
eventually collect.

Obligations in the form of written promissory notes are recorded as notes
payable.
Notes payable are often used instead of accounts payable. Doing so gives
the lender written documentation of the obligation in case legal remedies
are needed to collect the debt. Notes payable usually require the borrow to
pay interest and frequently are issued to meet short-term financing needs

Sales Tax Payable
As consumers, we are well aware that many of the products we purchase
at retail store are subject to sales taxes. The tax is expressed as a stated
percentage of the sales price. The retailer (selling company) collects the

tax from the customer when the sale occurs, and periodically (usually
monthly) remits the collections to the states department of revenue.
Under most of state sales tax laws, the amount of the sale and the amount
of the sales tax collected must be rung up separately on the cash register.
The cash registers readings are then used to credit Sales and Sales Taxes
Payable. For example, assuming that the March 25 cash register readings
for Cooley Grocery show sales of $10,000 and sales taxes of $600 (sales
tax rate of 6%), the entry is

Chapter 4: Inventories

Study Objectives
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:

1. Describe the steps in determining inventory quantities.
2. Explain the basis of accounting for inventories and describe
the inventory cost flow methods.
3. Explain the financial statements and tax affects of each of the
inventory cost flow methods.
4. List the essential accounting features of a perpetual inventory
system.

Why is Inventory Control Important?

Inventory is a significant asset and for many companies the largest
asset.
Inventory is central to the main activity of merchandising and
manufacturing companies.
Mistakes in determining inventory cost can cause critical errors in
financial statements.
Inventory must be protected from external risks (such as fire and
theft) and internal fraud by employees.
Assigning Costs to Inventory

Merchandising and Inventory
Merchandising involves selling inventory.
Inventory is usually an important asset.
Inventory must be accounted for periodically or perpetually.
Traditional periodic method is often being replaced by perpetual
inventory accounting.

Advantages of Using Perpetual Inventory
Continuous determination of inventory value
Continuous determination of gross profit
Affordable with computers, scanners, and bar codes on most products
Perpetual inventory accounting provides management controls.
Managers know which items are selling fastest and the profit margin on
those items.
Perpetual systems maintain a running record to show the inventory on
hand at all times.

Periodic Inventory
Periodic systems do not keep a continuous record of inventory on hand.

Inventory Costing
There are three methods of the Cost Flow Methods
1. First-in, First -out (FIFO).
Inventory affects . . .
Balance
Sheet
Income
Statement
The matching principle requires the matching
of the cost of the merchandise sold
with the sales revenue.

2. Last-in, First- out (LIFO).
3. Average Cost.

Example:

To illustrate the three methods under the periodic and perpetual inventory system,
the following data for the month of June will be used.

Periodic Inventory System

We can use the formula as follow:

COGS = Goods Available for Sales Ending Inventory
1) FIFO:

The FIFO method assumes that the earliest goods purchased are the first to be
sold. FIFO often parallels the actual physical flow of merchandise because it
generally is good business practice to sell the oldest units first. Under the FIFO
method, therefore, the cost of the earliest goods purchased are the first to be
recognized as cost of goods sold.

Use the Date 5-1:

Step 1. Step 2.
Ending Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
Date Units Unit Cost Total Cost
25-Jun 150 1.40 $ 210.00 $ Cost of Goods Available for Sales 625.00 $
20-Jun 70 1.30 $ 91.00 $ Less: Ending Inventory 301.00 $
Total 220 301.00 $ Cost of Goods Sold 324.00 $

2) LIFO:
The LIFO method assumes that the latest goods purchased are the first to be
sold. LIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory. Under
the LIFO method, therefore, the costs of the latest goods purchased are the first
to be recognized as cost of goods sold.

Step 1. Step 2.
Ending Inventory Cost of Goods Sold
Date Units Unit Cost Total Cost
1-Jun 50 1.00 $ 50.00 $ Cost of Goods Available for Sales 625.00 $
6-Jun 50 1.10 $ 55.00 $ Less: Ending Inventory 249.00 $
13-Jun 120 1.20 $ 144.00 $ Cost of Goods Sold 376.00 $
Total 220 249.00 $

3) Average Cost:
The average cost method assumes that the goods of available for sales are
homogeneous. Under this method, the allocation of the cost of goods available
for sale is made on the basis of the weighted average unit cost incurred.

Formula:

Periodic Inventory System Perpetual Inventory System


The 600 largest Companies
in the U.S.

The Internal Revenue Service has developed several rules for valuing
inventories for federal income tax purpose.
Many accountants believe that the use of the FIFO and average-cost methods in
periods of rising prices causes the businesses to report more than their true
profit, resulting in the payment of excess income taxes.

When prices are rising LIFO produces the lowest income and lowest income
tax.

The Income Tax and Advantage of LIFO
During periods of inflation, LIFOs income is the lowest.
The most attractive feature of LIFO is reduced income tax payments.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES: CONSISTENCY
The business should use the same accounting methods and procedures from one
period to the next.
A company may change inventory methods, but it must disclose the effects of the
change on net income.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES: DISCLOSURE
The financial statements should report enough information to enable an outsider
to make knowledgeable decisions about the company.

APPLY THE LOWER-OF-COST-OR-MARKET RULE TO INVENTORY.

An asset is reported at the lower of its historical cost or market
(replacement) value.
If the replacement cost falls below its historical cost, the business must
write down the value of its inventory.
Example
Cost of inventory: $3,000

Market value at balance sheet date: $2,200
What is the journal entry?

December 31
Cost of Goods Sold. $ 800
