Allen's Hardware Store prepared the following analysis of cost of goods sold for the previous three years:
Net income for the years 2015 2016 and 2017 was $75000 $60000 and $57000 respectively. Since net income was consistently declining Mr. Baden hired a new accountant to investigate the cause(s) for the declines.
The accountant determined the following:
1. Purchases of $20000 were not recorded in 2015.
2. The 2015 December 31 inventory should have been $26000.
3. The 2016 ending inventory included inventory costing $8000 that was purchased FOB destination and in transit at year end.
4. The 2017 ending inventory did not include goods costing $4000 that were shipped on December 29 to Wilson Plumbing Company FOB shipping point. The goods were still in transit at the end of the year.
