Ending inventory$-$as reported

Included in the company's count were goods with a cost of $$234,880$ that the

company is holding on consignment. The goods belong to Nader Corporation.

The physical count did not include goods purchased by Sunland with a cost of

$$38,830$ that were shipped FOB shipping point on December $28$ and did not

arrive at Sunland's warehouse until January $3.$

Included in the Inventory account was $$15,430$ of office supplies that were

stored in the warehouse and were to be used by the company's supervisors

and managers during the coming year.

The company received an order on December $29$ that was boxed and was

sitting on the loading dock awaiting pick$-$up on December $31.$ The shipper

picked up the goods on January $1$ and delivered them on January $6.$ The

shipping terms were FOB shipping point. The goods had a selling price of

$$40,110$ and a cost of $$29,740.$ The goods were not included in the count

because they were sitting on the dock.

Included in the count was $$48,000$ of goods that were parts for a machine

that the company no longer made. Given the high$-$tech nature of Sunland's

products, it was unlikely that these obsolete parts had any other use.

However, management would prefer to keep them on the books at cost$,$

"since that is what we paid for them, after all."
