26) What is the major expense shown on the income statement for a merchandising business?
Answer: The major expense shown on an income statement for a merchandising business is cost of goods
sold. This represents the cost of the inventory sold by the business. As indicated in the opening vignette,
the cost of goods sold (or the cost of sales) is the most important expense for a company that sells goods
rather than services (such as Leon's Furniture). The difference between the revenue generated from
selling the inventory and the cost of the inventory sold is gross margin, or gross profit.

Purchases during the year 270,000

d. Purchases during the year $335,700


Ending inventory 32,000
Beginning inventory 27,000
Answer:
a. $30,000 + $127,000 - $25,000 = $132,000 cost of goods sold
($30,000 + $25,000) / 2 = $27,500 average inventory
$132,000 / $27,500 = 4.8

b. $50,000 + $350,000 - $42,500 = $357,500 cost of goods sold


($50,000 + $42,500) / 2 = $46,250 average inventory
$357,500 / $46,250 = 7.73

4) Sales Company Ltd. paid $10 wholesale for one unit of inventory for resale in the retail market. The
same inventory can now be purchased for $9. The retail sales price of the inventory is $13, however, it
normally costs $2 to sell each unit. Using the lower-of-cost-and-net-realizable-value rule the inventory
would be reported on Sales Company Ltd.'s balance sheet at:
A) $9
B) $10
C) $11
D) $13
Answer: B
Explanation: A) Inventory is valued at the lower of cost ($10) or net realizable value ($13 - $2 = $11). The
current wholesale price ($9) is not usually considered.
B) Inventory is valued at the lower of cost ($10) or net realizable value ($13 - $2 = $11). The lower of these
two amounts is $10 so inventory is value at cost.
C) Inventory is valued at the lower of cost ($10) or net realizable value ($13 - $2 = $11). The lower of these
two amounts is $10 so inventory is value at cost
D) $13 is the estimated sales price; costs to sell must be deducted to determine net realizable value which
must then be compared to cost to determine the value to be reported on the balance sheet.

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2014 $ 510,000
Inventory balance on June 30, 2013 125,000
Inventory balance on June 30, 2014 165,000

Required:

a. Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for the year ended June 30, 2014.
b. What is the average length of time that it took to sell its inventory in 2014?
c. Is the inventory turnover ratio satisfactory? What would you need to know to fully answer this
question?
Answer:
a. Average inventory = ($125,000 + 165,000)/2 = $145,000.
Inventory turnover = cost of sales / average inventory =
$510,000 / $145,000 = 3.52

b. The average length of time to sell inventory = 365 /3.52 = 103.7 days.

c. You cannot assess whether the turnover is satisfactory without having benchmarks. Information that
could be helpful includes the typical turnover for other university bookstores and the turnover for your
bookstore in recent years, to identify trends. Also, any changes in the accounting environment that might
explain or affect the turnover period would be useful.

somewhere we made a mistake, there was something we failed to
see. I'd like to know what made him jump."
This time the American looked out to sea. He was silent.
The doctor took out an old briar pipe and began filling it from a
leather pouch. "Strange. His radio beacon is functioning normally.
There's no reason why his transmitter and receiver shouldn't be
working too. Yet we've been trying to contact him by means of voice
communication, and he doesn't answer. Maybe he's dead already.
There's no way to tell."
"Do you think he's worth saving?" the pilot asked after a minute.
"I'd like to know why he jumped."

In the briefing room, the American listened intently to the sounds


coming from the speaker. Dr. Valdez and the other members of the
Prospero's crew also listened. Dr. Valdez listened with his eyes
closed, drawing slowly on his pipe.
"Orbital ship Wabash Cannonball acknowledging Azores
transmission," the voice said. "Our condition is still AOK, repeat,
condition is still normal. We are still tracking survival beacon. Range,
10,000 kilometers and closing." There was another burst of radio
noise that momentarily drowned out the voice. The men in the
briefing room had been listening for nearly six hours now.
Occasionally one of them would go out for coffee or fresh air, but he
always returned within a few minutes. The American pilot had not
moved from his place since lift-off. Outside, it had begun to rain.
At last, the critical moment came.
"Range is now five hundred kilometers and closing," the voice said.
"I now have a visual sight. Repeat. I have a visual sight. I can see
him. Switching from computer to manual control." Several minutes of
silence. The pilot was jockeying closer to Duport, making delicate
adjustments in his ship's orbital path. He had a small target. A single
wrong judgement could cause him to drift hundreds of kilometers off
course, wasting a critical amount of fuel.
At last the report came, "Range is now five hundred meters. We are
suiting up and blowing cabin pressure. Stand by for further
transmission." Ten minutes passed. The crew was too busy to
broadcast now. The rain drummed softly on the roof of the briefing
room and ran in slow curtains down the windowpanes.
Finally the voice came on the air again.
"Orbital ship Wabash Cannonball resuming transmission. Rescue
operation is successful. Repeat, operation is successful. We have
him aboard. He's alive."
The American pilot looked up at the faces around him. Dr. Valdez
was rubbing his mouth thoughtfully. The other men stared at the
speaker with blank looks. The American noted that no one was
cheering.

Later, the pilot of the Cannonball described the rescue. When he had
first reported his visual sighting, he had been seeing the sunlight
reflected from the surface of Duport's suit. Duport was a white spark,
shining out among the stars like a meteor or nova. The sight had
given the rescue pilot a peculiar feeling, he mentioned later, seeing
this blue-white star slowly growing in the sky until it was brighter than
Venus, seeing this new star rise, a point of white fire, and knowing
the star was a man.
Then they had suited up and blown the cabin pressure. The co-pilot
had gone out the hatch while the pilot remained at his controls.
Watching through the periscope, he could see Duport spread-eagled
against the sky, the left side of his body a glare of sunlight, the right
side in shadow. Duport had not moved his arms or legs since they
had first seen him, neither did he acknowledge with his suit
transmitter. He was about five hundred meters from the ship and
drifting slowly closer. The co-pilot tethered himself to the hull, then
tossed out a line with a magnetic grapple on its end. He missed,
hauled in, and tossed again. On the third try the end of the line
passed within half a meter of Duport's body. Duport moved his arm,
took the end of the line, and hooked it to his belt. The co-pilot hauled
him in.

About a month later, the American pilot saw Rene Duport for the first
time since he had jumped from the Prospero. It was at the space
medicine laboratories at Walter Reed.
Dr. Valdez stood near the window, looking down at the sunlit lawn. In
the shade of a tall shrub a man was sitting in a lawn chair, his head
back, completely relaxed. He wore a blue denim hospital uniform.
His back was to the window.
"Physically he was in good condition when they brought him down,"
the doctor said, "except for a slight case of dehydration."
"Can I talk to him?" the pilot asked.
Dr. Valdez looked at him sharply, as if surprised by the request.
"You can talk to him if you like. But he won't answer you."
The pilot followed the doctor out of the room and down to the lawn.
They came up from behind the lawn chair and stood looking down at
the man sitting in it. His eyes were closed.
The pilot saw that Duport's jaw was slack. He could not tell whether
he was asleep. The flesh in his cheeks was sunken. He looked older.
Dr. Valdez said, "Catatonia, schizophrenia, it's like no condition I've
ever seen before. He is perfectly aware of what is going on around
him, you see. Bring him food and he eats. Stick him with a pin and
he jumps. All his responses are normal. He took the cable and
attached it himself, remember. But he will make no more than the
minimum necessary effort to survive." The doctor chewed his lip,
thinking. "If only he would say something."
"Have you decided why he jumped?" the pilot asked, not realizing
that he was whispering. "What made him panic?"
"No." The doctor shook his head. "Not panic, it wasn't fear alone, I
think. There was something else. We put him through equally critical
moments in training, and he didn't panic then. Fear was part of it, but
there was something else too."
"Well, what then?"
"I don't know the word. It's something new. Maybe Duport is a new
kind of human being. If not fear, call it—love, or desire. He jumped
into space because, I think, he wanted to."
"I don't understand that," the pilot said.
"I don't either—yet." Dr. Valdez moved a step closer to the man in
the chair. "Rene. Rene Duport."
Without moving his head, Duport opened his eyes.
"Stand up."
Duport got up and stood looking at some point half way between the
two men. His eyes no longer glistened.
"It's as if something has gone out of him," the doctor said.
"Do you know who I am?" the pilot asked. Rene Duport turned his
head until the pupils of his eyes were pointed at the American's face.
But his eyes did not seem to focus on him. Rather they were focused
at some point far beyond him.
"Why did you jump?" the pilot said. Moving a step closer, he looked
into the blank, dull eyes, that continued looking through him, focused
on some strange horizon. The eyes no longer seemed blue, but light
grey. The pilot tried to remember where he had seen eyes like that
before. Then he remembered one day, years before, when he had
looked down into the open eyes of a dead man. He shuddered and
turned away.
"If only he would talk," the doctor said.
The pilot had turned his back on Duport. "Why? If he could talk, what
would you ask him?"
It was two or three minutes before the doctor answered.
"I would ask him what it feels like to be a star."
And as the two men walked away, Rene Duport remained standing
where they left him. He was watching. The pupils of his eyes never
shifted, but he was always watching. The Earth, a swollen balloon,
floated past his field of vision. Slowly his right arm rose until his arm
was horizontal from his shoulder. Then the corners of his mouth lifted
in a faint smile, as his fingers touched the Clouds of Magellan.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
