Question
Happlia Co. imports household appliances. Each model has many variations and each unit has an identification number. Happlia pays all costs for getting the goods from the port to its central warehouse in Des Moines. After repackaging, the goods are consigned to retailers. A retailer makes a sale, simultaneously buys the appliance from Happlia, and pays the balance due within one week. To alleviate the overstocking of refrigerators at a Minneapolis retailer, some were reshipped to a Kansas City retailer where they were still held in inventory at December 31, 2016. Happlia paid the costs of this reshipment. Happlia uses the specific identification inventory costing method. Required: 1. In regard to the specific identification inventory costing method: a. Describe its key elements. b. Discuss why it is appropriate for Happlia to use this method. 2. a. What general criteria should Happlia use to determine inventory carrying amounts at December 31, 2016? b. Give four examples of costs included in these inventory carrying amounts. 3. What costs should be reported in Happlia’s 2016 income statement? Ignore lower of cost or market considerations

- You are a newly hired accountant for Sushi Beeber, Inc., a retail company specializing in apparel for small pets. The company would like to expand its apparel line to include sweaters for cats. Sushi Beeber has found several manufacturers that offer competitive prices to ensure cost of goods sold is low. Because the company receives merchandise from different manufacturers and the cat sweaters will be commoditized, the company needs to develop an internal accounting system to keep track of inventory cost.

The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $20.00 each with a minimum order of 220 sweatshirts.
