PROBLEM NO. 2
In connection with your audit of the Alcala Manufacturing Company, you reviewed its inventory as
of December 31, 2006 and found the following items:
(a) A packing case containing a product costing P100,000 was standing in the shipping room when
the physical inventory was taken. It was not included in the inventory because it was marked
“Hold for shipping instructions.” The customer’s order was dated December 18, but the case
was shipped and the costumer billed on January 10, 2007.
(b) Merchandise costing P600,000 was received on December 28, 2006, and the invoice was
recorded. The invoice was in the hands of the purchasing agent; it was marked “On
consignment”.
(c) Merchandise received on January 6, 2007, costing P700,000 was entered in purchase register
on January 7. The invoice showed shipment was made FOB shipping point on December 31,
2006. Because it was not on hand during the inventory count, it was not included.
(d) A special machine costing P200,000, fabricated to order for a particular customer, was finished
in the shipping room on December 30. The customer was billed for P300,000 on that date and
the machine was excluded from inventory although it was shipped January 4, 2007.
(e) Merchandise costing P200,000 was received on January 6, 2007, and the related purchase
invoice was recorded January 5. The invoice showed the shipment was made on December 29,
2006, FOB destination.
(f) Merchandise costing P150,000 was sold on an installment basis on December 15. The customer
took possession of the goods on that date. The merchandise was included in inventory because
Alcala still holds legal title. Historical experience suggests that full payment on installment sale
is received approximately 99% of the time.
(g) Goods costing P500,000 were sold and delivered on December 20. The goods were included in
the inventory because the sale was accompanied by a purchase agreement requiring Alcala to
buy back the inventory in February 2007.
Question:
Based on the above and the result of your audit, how much of these items should be included in the
inventory balance at December 31, 2006?
a. P1,300,000 c. P1,650,000
b. P 800,000 d. P1,050,000
Suggested Solution:
Unshipped goods P 100,000
Purchased merchandise shipped
FOB shipping point 700,000
Goods used as collateral for a loan 500,000
Total P1,300,000
Reasons for including and excluding the items:
a) Included - Merchandise should be included in the inventory until shipped. An exception would be
special orders.
b) Excluded - Alcala Manufacturing has the merchandise on a consignment basis and therefore does
not possess legal title.
c) Included - The merchandise was shipped FOB shipping point and therefore would be included in
the inventory on the shipping date.
d) Excluded - Title may pass on special orders when segregated for shipment.
e) Excluded - The merchandise was shipped FOB destination and was not received until January 3,
2006.
f) Excluded - Historical experience suggests that Alcala will collect the full purchase price, so the sale
is recognized even though legal title has not passed.
g) Included - This is not a sale of inventory but instead is a loan with the inventory as collateral.
Answer: A
PROBLEM NO. 3
The Anda Company is on a calendar year basis. The following data were found during your audit:
a. Goods in transit shipped FOB destination by a supplier, in the amount of P100,000, had been
excluded from the inventory, and further testing revealed that the purchase had been recorded.
