Inventory as at 12/31/20X1 $ 80,000
20X2 Purchases 130,000
20X2 Write-off of obsolete inventory 25,000
Inventory as at 12/31/20X2 40,000
The inventory written off became obsolete due to an unexpected and unusual technological advance by a competitor. In its 20X2 income statement, what amount should A Corp. report as cost of goods sold?
a. $ 235,000
b. $ 170,000
c. $ 145,000
d. $ 130,00
このパターンの問題はInventoryの箱を書いてやると簡単に求められる。
左にBeginningと入ってくる分の購入、右に出ていくCGSとWrite-offとEnding。
この左右が同じ額になるようにCGSを求めるので80K+130K-25K-40K=145K。
答は c.
