22. Umberg Merchandise Company’s cost of goods sold last month was $1,450,000. Merchandise Inventory at the beginning of the month was $250,000 and $325,000 at the end of the month. Umberg’s merchandise purchases were:

	a.	$1,450,000
	b.	$1,375,000
	c.	$1,525,000
	d.	$1,775,000

ANSWER:

RATIONALE:

Merchandise purchases added to Merchandise Inventory at the beginning of the month results in the merchandise available for sale. At the end of the month, these goods either remain in Merchandise Inventory or are sold, which results in Cost of Goods Sold, so the total of ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold is also the merchandise available for sale. Therefore, the equation can be rearranged to compute the merchandise purchases as follows:

Cost of Goods Sold	$1,450,000
Plus Ending Merchandise Inventory	325,000

	b.	$220,000
	c.	$370,000

	a.	Lumber
	b.	Glue
	c.	Fabric
	d.	Foam rubber

Assuming Stanley does not use indirect materials, the cost of materials purchased during the year amounted to:

	a.	$455.
	b.	$450.
	c.	$365.
	d.	$360.

ANSWER:

RATIONALE:

Materials purchased added to Materials inventory at the beginning of the month results in the materials available for use. During the year, the materials are used or they remain in the Materials inventory at the end of the year, so the total of materials used and ending Materials inventory is also the total of the amount of materials available. Therefore, the equation can be rearranged to compute the materials purchases as follows:

Direct materials used	$365
Add ending inventory of materials	85
Materials available during the year	$450
Less beginning inventory of materials	90
Purchases of materials during the year	$360

2. Determine the ending balances in materials, work in process, finished goods and cost of goods sold by preparing the necessary T- accounts and record the transactions in them.

ANSWER:

1. Job A25: $3,300 + 2,400 + 2,500 = $ 8,200
Job B43: $2,500 + 4,300 + 3,000 = $ 9,800
Job C89: $4,700 + 5,600 + 2,800 = $13,100
Job D52: $6,200 + 3,800 + 2,400 = $12,400
