- Inventory Valuation You are engaged in an audit of Roche Mfg. Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. To reduce the workload at year-end, Roche took its annual physical inventory under your observation on November 30, 2019. Roches inventory account, which includes raw materials and work in process, is on a perpetual basis, and it uses the first-in, first-out method of pricing. It has no finished goods inventory. The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of 60,570 was understated by 3,000. To avoid distorting the interim financial statements, Roche decided not to adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items. Your audit revealed this information about the November 30 inventory: Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overpriced by 2,200. Footing and extension errors resulted in a 150 understatement of the physical inventory. Direct labor included in the physical inventory amounted to 10,000. Overhead was included at the rate of 200% of direct labor. You determined that the amount of direct labor was correct and the overhead rate was proper. The physical inventory included obsolete materials recorded at 250. During December, these materials were removed from the inventory account by a charge to cost of sales. Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31, 2019, inventory. Total debits to certain accounts during December are: The cost of sales of 68,600 included direct labor of 13,800. Normal scrap loss on established product lines is negligible. However, a special order started and completed during December had excessive scrap loss of 800 which was charged to Manufacturing Overhead Expense. Required: 1. Compute the correct amount of the physical inventory at November 30, 2019. 2. Without prejudice to your solution to Requirement 1, assume that the correct amount of the inventory at November 30, 2019, was 57,700. Compute the amount of the inventory at December 31,2019.arrow_forwardCandle Co. performs an inventory court at year - end. The company records a ending balance of $56,000 for inventory on its balance sheet. During the following year, the accountant discovers that the ending inventory was miscounted, causing ending inventory to be overstated by $2, 500. a. What is the effect of the misstatement on the income statement? b. Besides ending inventory, what was the effect of the error on the balance sheet?arrow_forwardYou have been hired as the new controller for the Ralston Company. Shortly after joining the company in 2016, you discover the following errors related to the 2014 and 2015 financial statements: a. Inventory at 12/31/2014 was understated by $6,000. b. Inventory at 12/31/2015 was overstated by $9,000. c. On 12/31/2015, inventory was purchased for $3,000. The company did not record the purchase until the inventory was paid for early in 2016. At that time, the purchase was recorded by a debit to purchases and a credit to cash. The company uses a periodic inventory system. Required: 1. Assuming that the errors were discovered after the 2015 financial statements were issued, analyze the effect of the errors on 2015 and 2014 cost of goods sold, net income, and retained earnings. (Ignore income taxes.) 2. Prepare a journal entry to correct the errors. 3. What other step(s) would be taken in connection with the error?arrow_forward
