Question 8

Assume all goods for resale are purchased for cash.If cash payments for inventory in the period are $67 000 and the expense cost of sales,calculated under the accrual basis,is $70 000:

Accepted Answer

The expense of cost of sales, under the accrual basis, reflects the cost of inventory that was sold during the period. The cash payments for inventory represent the cash outflows for the purchases of inventory made during the period. Therefore, if the cash payments are less than the cost of sales, it means that some inventory was purchased but not sold during the period, resulting in an increase in stocks of inventory on hand. In this case, the difference is $3,000 ($70,000 - $67,000), which means that stocks of inventory on hand have increased by $3,000. Therefore, choice A is the best answer.

Question 19

If $20 000 is owed by customers at the beginning of the year,$15 000 is owed at the end and credit sales are $100 000,the cash received from customers for the year is:

Accepted Answer

To find the cash received from customers, we need to account for the $20 000 that was owed at the beginning of the year and the credit sales of $100 000 made during the year. This gives us a total of $120 000 that could potentially be received. However, we also know that only $15 000 is owed at the end of the year, which means that $105 000 of the credit sales were actually paid for during the year. Therefore, the cash received from customers is $105 000.
