Accounting for a 5 Merchandising Business ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR GROUP LEARNING Q5-1 A merchandising business has a major revenue reduction called cost of goods sold. The computation of cost of goods sold results in an income statement that contains information not found on an income statement for a service business. Q5-2 No, the authors do not agree. Cost of goods sold is made up of several items over which management can exercise control. Some examples are: Losses in inventory from spoilage, theft, or simply misplacing items cause an increase in cost of goods sold. Management can strengthen internal control over inventories to reduce these losses. Cost of purchases increases the cost of goods sold. If management can cause merchandise items to be purchased at lower costs (quantity discounts, seasonal purchases, or requiring competitive bidding by suppliers), the cost of goods sold will be reduced. Transportation In is also a cost of goods sold. Careful planning of purchases to place orders in time to avoid higher-cost fast delivery will reduce cost of goods sold. Cash discounts reduce the cost of goods sold. Careful planning (possibly combined with the use of the net price method of recording purchases) should allow a company to take advantage of cash discounts offered. Q5-3 Sales discounts are an incentive to customers to pay their bills earlier than the normal 30 days allowed. If customers pay earlier, there is a reduced chance of loss by some customers later inability to pay. Yes, management really wants customers to take advantage of sales discounts; a collected account will not become a bad debt loss. Q5-4 A cash discount is the granting of a deduction from the selling price for payment within a limited period of time based on specific agreements between buyer and seller. A trade discount is a percentage reduction from a list price. Unlike a cash discount, it is not related to the time of payment. 5-1

Q5-5 Under the periodic inventory system, the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory balance are determined at the end of each accounting period. Under the perpetual inventory system, the cost of goods sold and inventory balance on hand are determined as each sale is recorded. As a result, a continuous record of cost of goods sold and inventory on hand is produced under a perpetual inventory system. Q5-6 Under the periodic inventory system, cost of goods sold is computed by subtracting the ending inventory valuation from total goods available for sale. Since goods lost by shoplifting are not in the ending inventory, the computation leads to the assumption that they have been sold. Thus, shoplifting increases cost of goods sold. Q5-7 Management needs to know the amount of cost of goods sold; debits to the Purchases account should reflect only items that affect that figure. If purchases of supplies, postage stamps, and other items to be used in operations were debited to Purchases, the cost of goods sold would be incorrectly inflated. Also, information needed to control specific expenses would be buried in the Purchases account. Q5-8 Measures of efficiency and effectiveness of the purchasing function and the payments function are reflected in these contra accounts. Managerial control is strengthened when management has accumulated information about purchases discounts and purchases returns and allowances. Q5-9 When a company in Pittsburgh sells to a company in Williamsport F.O.B. destination, the title to the goods transfers when the goods arrive at the buyer in Williamsport. The F.O.B. terms determine ownership. F 0.8. destination indicates that title transfers at the destination. F 0.8. shipping point indicates that title transfers when the seller turns the goods over to a common carrier at the shipping point. Unless otherwise stated, freight costs are the responsibility of the owner during shipment. In this case, the seller is the owner and is therefore responsible for paying the transportation costs. Q5-10 Under a periodic inventory system, the beginning inventory figure appears in the end-of-period unadjusted trial balance because no journal entries have been made to the inventory account during the accounting period. Q5-11 Sales Discounts, Purchases, Transportation In, Sales Returns and Allowances, and Merchandise inventory have debit balances. Sales, Purchases Discounts, and Purchases Returns and Allowances have credit balances. Q5-12 Selling expenses are directly related to the sales function. Such items as sales salaries, advertising expenses, or delivery expenses can be considered as direct expenses of making sales. General and administrative expenses are those that would be found in a business whether or not sales are made. Such items as office 5-2

supplies expense, salaries of accounting employees, or property tax expense are examples. They also support the sales function, but not solely and directly. Operating expenses are those incurred in the primary revenue-producing activities of the business. Expenses such as financing costs (interest expense) or losses on disposal of assets are not incurred in the primary revenue-producing efforts and are classified as other expenses. Q5-13 All elements that make up the cost of goods sold are found in the Income Statement columns of the work sheet. Q5-14 The multiple-step income statement provides detailed information and subtotals for each of its major sections:- sales revenue, cost of goods sold, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and other revenues and expenses. Under the single-step form, the total expenses are deducted from the total revenues in one step. Q5-15 It may give a feeling of false security if management sees a balance accumulating in the Purchases Discounts account. Although this is an indication that some discounts are being taken, it does not show how many. More important to management is knowledge of lost discount opportunities. The -net price method of recording discounts allows practice of management by exception; a balance in the Purchases Discounts Lost account is an indication that something is wrong. 5-3

Jul. 1 Accounts Payable 8,820 Purchases Discounts Lost 180 Cash 9,000 Payment of account. 2. No, the net cost of purchases is lower under the net price method, as follows: Net Gross Price Method Price Method Purchases account $ 8,820 $ 9,000 Purchases discount 0 0 Net cost of purchases $ 8,820 $ 9,000 As can be seen from the above, the net cost of purchases would be the same under both methods only if all cash discounts are taken. The Purchases Discounts Lost account is disclosed in the income statement under other expenses. Net income would be the same. 3. Some advantages of the gross price method are: a. Amount of discounts taken is collected in a separate account. b. Statements from creditors agree with accounts payable amounts in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger. c. There is a saving in clerical costs. d. No end-of-period adjusting entry is required to record lapsed discounts. However, Linda Company desires to take advantage of a/i purchases discounts. Assuming these discounts to be significant, the ability to monitor this practice with the net price method probably outweighs the advantages of the gross price method for Linda Company. 5-15

E5-27 Analyzing the Home Depot LG 9 1. Net sales have increased significantly from $58,247,000,000 in 2002 to $73,094,000,000 in 2004. 2. The percent increase in net sales is: 25.5% ' 100 $14,847,000,000( $58,247,000,000 *$73,094,000,000! $58,247,000,000 3. Home Depot was able to reduce cost of goods sold as a percent of net sales from 68.9% in 2002 to 66.6% in 2004. The result is a gross profit margin of 33.4% in 2004 the highest for the three years. This is favorable. The increase in the gross margin percent could have been caused by a combination of (1) increased sales prices, (2) reduced cost of goods sold, or (3) a different mix of products sold. From the information shown, we cannot determine the exact reason for the increase in the gross margin percent. 4. Operating expenses increased as a percent of net sales increased from 21.1% in 2002 to 22.6% in 2004. This trend is unfavorable. 5. Other expenses and revenues have remained relatively insignificant over the three-year period. 5-16

P5-34 Analyzing Limited Brands and The Talbot s LB 9 1. For fiscal 2004, net sales for Limited Brands are more than five times the amount for Talbot s. Net sales for both companies have increased in 2004. 2. The percent increase in net sales is: Limited Brands 5.3% ' 100 $474,000,000* $8,934,000,000 *$9,408,000,000! $8,934,000,000 Talbot s 4.5% ' 100 $73,500,000* $1,624,300,000 *$1,697,800,000! $1,624,300,000 3. For both companies, the cost of goods sold percent increased in 2004. In 2004, the cost of goods sold percent for Limited Brands is lower than for Talbot s. The result is that Limited Brands has a higher gross profit margin. This is favorable for Limited Brands. The higher gross margin percent for Limited Brands could be caused by a combination of (1) increased sales prices, (2) reduced cost of goods sold, or (3) a different mix of products sold. From the information shown, we cannot determine the exact reason for the increase in the gross margin percent. 4. Operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased for both companies in 2004. This is favorable. P5-35 Analyzing Walgreen and CVS Corporation LG 9 1. For fiscal 2004 net sales for Walgreen are higher than CVS. Net sales for both companies increased in 2004. 2. The percent increase (decrease) in net sales is: Walgreen 15.4% ' 100 $5,002,800,000* $32,505,400,000 *$37,508,200,000! $32,505,400,000 CVS 15.1% ' 100 $4,006,300,000* $26,588,000,000 *$30,594,300,000! $26,588,000,000 5-45

P5-35 (continued) 3. Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales decreased for both companies in 2004. This is favorable. The lower gross margin percent could be caused by a combination of (1) decreased sales prices, (2) increased cost of goods sold, or (3) a different mix of products sold. From the information shown, we cannot determine the exact reason for the decrease in the gross margin percent. 4. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales increased for both companies in 2004. This is unfavorable. ln 2004, Walgreens is consistently operating at a higher operating margin than CVS. 5-46

SOLUTION TO BUSINESS DECISION AND COMMUNICATION PROBLEM Improving Profitability Following is a typical student response to this communications problem; actual responses may vary in content and style but should contain as much of this basic information as possible. TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Sam Tees Student Profitability of Shirts Unlimited In reviewing the income statement of Tees Unlimited, I have noted several items for your consideration. First, the company is carrying too high a level of inventory. Cost of goods sold for the year was $33,000. You have $30,000 in merchandise inventory on hand on December 31,. You have almost one year s inventory on hand at the end of. This represents money that is tied up which you could invest. Consider expanding your store, or at least investing in some interest-bearing securities. Second, sales returns and allowances are 20% of sales. This may indicate unhappy customers. You should investigate why returns are so high and work to reduce this considerably. Third, the company is purchasing more goods than it is selling in a year. Plan purchases to coincide with actual yearly needs for goods. This will also reduce your level of inventory. Fourth, purchases returns are also high. You should investigate this. It may be that you need to change suppliers or work with your suppliers to get acceptable merchandise. Fifth, it also appears that you are not taking advantage of cash discounts on purchases, as the income statement does not list any. By paying within the discount period, you can reduce the cost of merchandise. SOLUTION TO ETHICAL DILEMMA Predating Sales Transactions Individual responses to ethical dilemmas will vary. The technical and ethical issues raised in the following response are central to this dilemma; look for them in students answers and be prepared to discuss them with students in class. The owner s request will have the effect of transferring sales from to 2008. This will overstate revenues and income in. It also will overstate assets and owners' equity. With F.O.B. shipping point terms, the date of shipment determines the sales date. The title to the merchandise passes when the merchandise is shipped. The back-dating of sales transactions would be unethical. It appears that the owner desires to inflate sales and income for the purpose. of creating a more favorable income statement. This may improve the conditions of the loan he is negotiating. As the accountant, you have an ethical responsibility not only to the owner but to all users of the financial statements. The bank loan officer is certainly one user of this company s financial statements. You should refuse to alter the dating of the sales transactions. 5-50
