Calculate net sales based on gross sales of $805,000; sales returns of $5,400; and sales discounts of $15,700. Net sales = Gross sales - Sales returns - Sales discounts = $805,000 - $5,400 - $15,700 = $783,900 8. Calculate cost of goods sold based on $82,400 beginning inventory; $264,000 cost of goods purchased; and $94,800 ending inventory. Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - Ending inventory = $82,400 + $264,000 - $94,800 = $251,600 9. Refer to Problems 7 and 8. Calculate gross profit. Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold = $783,900 - $251,600 = $532,300 10. Refer to Problem 9. Calculate net income based on operating expenses of $371,300. Net income = Gross profit - Operating expenses = $532,300 - $371,300 = $161,000 Unit 17.2 Balance sheets For Problems 11 20, identify the item by placing the appropriate letter in the space.

Increase long-term financing. By doing this, LMN will increase long-term liabilities and increase cash. Because longterm liabilities do not affect the current ratio, the ratio will be improved. c. Reduce dividends. By reducing dividends, cash will not decrease as much. d. Sell additional stock. By doing this, cash will be increased without affecting current liabilities. 41. Would a business prefer having a (a) high or (b) low inventory turnover? (a) High. Businesses prefer selling their inventory quickly. 42. What can be done to improve inventory turnover? a. Do more advertising. By doing more advertising, sales should increase, thereby contributing to a quicker inventory turnover. b. Improve sales staff. Maybe the sales staff is not assisting customers adequately. By giving better assistance, sales should increase. c. Reduce inventory. If inventory is excessive, reducing inventory may be a good strategy. However, if the inventory is not excessive, decreasing inventory may lead to a decrease in sales. Chapter Review Problems 385

What, if anything, is wrong with this income statement heading? ALPINE ENGINEERING Income Statement June 30, 2006 An income statement is for a period of time, not a certain date. The last line should read something like For June 2006, For quarter ending June 30, 2006, or For six months ending June 30, 2006. 2. Given: gross sales, $220,000; sales returns, $1,500; sales discounts, $2,000; beginning inventory, $92,000; cost of goods purchased, $145,000; ending inventory, $95,000; operating expenses, $30,000. Calculate: (a) net sales, (b) cost of goods sold, (c) gross profit, and (d) net income. a. Net sales = Gross sales - Sales returns - Sales discounts = $220,000 - $1,500 - $2,000 = $216,500 b. Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased - Ending inventory = $92,000 + $145,000 - $95,000 = $142,000 c. Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold = $216,500 - $142,000 = $74,500 d. Net income = Gross profit - Operating expenses = $74,500 - $30,000 = $44,500 3.
