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.

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.

d. Gross margin
e. Gross margin rate and allowances
f. Net income
Answer:
a. Net purchases = $45,000 - ($800 + $1,200) = $45,000 - $2,000 = $43,000
b. Net sales = $85,400 - ($2,000 + $1,300) = $85,400 - $3,300 = $82,100
c. Cost of goods sold = $12,500 + $43,000 - $15,000 = $40,500
d. Gross margin = $82,100 - $40,500 = $41,600
e. Gross margin rate = $41,600 / $82,100 = 50.7%

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.

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.
