2 Additional accounts of a merchandising company likely include Merchandise Inventory, Sales (of goods), Cost of Goods Sold, Sales Discounts, and Sales Returns and Allowances (and possibly Delivery Expense)
3 A company can have a net loss if its expenses (absent cost of goods sold) are greater than its gross profit from sales of merchandise
4 A cash discount can be offered to encourage customers to promptly pay This provides cash more quickly to the seller and avoids the costs of additional collection activities Of course, the seller must perform a costs vs benefits analysis
on the merits and terms of any cash discount offered to customers
5 For a perpetual inventory system, inventory shrinkage is determined by taking a physical count of the inventory available at the end of a period and comparing that amount with the amount recorded in the Merchandise Inventory account
6 Cash discounts are granted in return for early payment and reduce the amount paid
Trang 27 Sales discount is a term used by a seller to describe a cash discount granted to a customer Purchase discount is a term used by a purchaser to describe a cash discount received from a seller (It is a matter of perspective: seller versus buyer.)
8 A manager is concerned about the quantity of its purchase returns because the company incurs costs in receiving, inspecting, identifying, and returning the merchandise More returns create more expenses By knowing more about returns, the manager can decide if they are a problem and how they can be minimized
9 The sender (maker) of a debit memorandum records a debit in an account of the recipient; and the recipient records a credit in an account maintained for the sender
Trang 310 The single-step income statement format presents cost of goods sold and expenses
in one list, totals the list, and subtracts the total from net sales in one step The multiple-step format presents intermediate totals, including gross profit (the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold) and sub-categories of expenses (often by key activities)
11 Apple calls its inventory account “Inventories.” A detailed calculation of cost of goods sold is not presented by Apple
12 Google titles its cost of sales accounts as “Cost of revenues” Google presents costs of sales separate for “Google (advertising and other)” and “Motorola Mobile (hardware and other)”
13 Samsung titles its cost of goods sold account “Cost of sales.”
14 Samsung reports a separate gross margin figure on its consolidated income statement Its 2013 gross profit is ₩90,996,358 (in millions of Korean won)
15 A buyer should attempt to negotiate the shipping terms FOB destination In this case, title will pass after the goods are safely delivered to the buyer’s business and transportation charges will be the responsibility of the supplier (seller).

Explanation of acid-test ratio: The acid-test ratio is used to evaluate (reflect on)
the liquidity of a company It helps in determining whether a company will be able to meet its current obligations as they come due with its most liquid assets
In this case, the company only has 65 cents available in quick assets to pay $1.00
in current liabilities as they come due An acid-test ratio less than one usually suggests some concern and encourages further analysis of liquidity
Trang 8Similarities: Both the acid-test ratio and current ratio are used to assess
liquidity Both ratios are computed with current liabilities as the denominator
Differences: The current ratio includes all current assets in the numerator
The acid-test ratio includes current assets less inventories and prepaids in its numerator (leaving cash & equivalents, current receivables, and short-term investments)
Comparison and Description: Compared with the current ratio, the acid-test
ratio is a more stringent test of a company’s ability to meet its current obligations The acid-test ratio is more stringent as it does not assume a company relies on prepaids and inventory to pay current liabilities This is because prepaids and inventory assets are not generally available to satisfy current obligations

Gross margin ratio:
Interpretation of gross margin ratio for case a: The ratio of 36.2% implies
that for each dollar in net sales the company earns 36.2 cents in gross profit The company must still deduct other expenses that it incurs in running the business when computing net income

Operating cycle of a merchandiser with credit sales follows (chronological):
2 (a) inventory made available for sale
5 (b) cash collections from customers
3 (c) credit sales to customers
be avoided in the future For example, the returns might arise from product defects, shipping damage, misleading information provided at the time of sale,
or fickle customers
An important early step in controlling returns is to have information about their dollar amount In addition, managers can set goals for reducing the dollar amount of sales returns Both objectives can be helped by having the company’s accounting system record the sales value of returned goods in a separate contra account instead of the Sales account This approach captures the information at the time of the return and allows it to be easily reported
While a company’s sales return record is important for managers, it is also valuable information for external decision makers This information can help external users identify organizations focusing on customer satisfaction and product quality Although management might choose to report the amount of sales returns as evidence of sales satisfaction, their amount is rarely reported
in financial statements provided to investors, creditors, and other external users

Exercise 5-13 (20 minutes)
The employee’s oversight in omitting these goods from the physical count would cause the cost of the physical count of ending inventory to be understated Therefore, the comparison of the perpetual inventory records with the physical count would incorrectly indicate an additional shrinkage
of $3,000 An entry would be made to debit Cost of Goods Sold and credit Merchandise Inventory for this amount As a result, the company’s ending inventory, current assets, total assets, equity, and net income would all be understated by $3,000

See the solution explanation in Exercise 5-13 As a result of this error:
gross profit would be understated
income would be understated
Trang 23Case X has the highest acid-test ratio and a healthy current ratio Since Case
X has enough current assets to cover its current liabilities by more than two times and enough liquid assets to cover its current liabilities by more than one time, Case X appears to be in the best position to meet its short-term obligations
More specifically, Case Y exhibits superior ability to meet current year obligations using the current ratio and Case X has the superior ability to meet near-term obligations using the acid-test ratio The three companies’ current ratios range from marginally adequate (such as Case Z’s 1.95) to strong (such
as Case Y’s 3.50) Further, Case X is the only company whose acid-test ratio exceeds the common benchmark (rule-of-thumb) of 1.0 Although Case Y has
a higher current ratio than Case X, Case X would appear to be in a better position to meet its current obligations since it has a higher percentage of its most liquid assets, demonstrated by a higher acid-test ratio
In summary, Case Z looks the worst for its ability to pay its immediate and current year obligations Case X looks the strongest Case Y is in between with a strong current ratio and the lowest acid-test ratio

Part 2
The first step is to determine the amount of purchases that are subject to a discount during the year:
Invoice cost of merchandise purchases $92,000
Purchase returns and allowances (4,500)
Total cost of merchandise payable $87,500
This amount is used to determine the maximum discount, which is then compared to the actual discount:
Maximum discount available (3% x $87,500) $ 2,625
Purchase discounts received (2,000)
Purchase discounts missed $ 625
As a percent of available discounts ($625/$2,625) 23.8%
This analysis suggests that nearly 24% of available discounts have been missed As a result, it would appear that cash is not being well managed Management should try to identify a better system for ensuring that all favorable discounts are taken It is possible that the 24% of discounts not taken are actually at rates not favorable to the company (meaning that management is worse off expending resources on those discounts)— further information is required to assess this possibility
Part 3
The first step is to compute this year’s sales returns and allowances rate:
Sales $225,600
Sales returns and allowances $ 12,000
This calculation shows that the company’s customers are returning or requiring allowances on items at a higher rate than the 4% rate observed in prior years It appears that management should investigate the situation to see why there are more dissatisfied customers this year than in prior years
