Concept of Gross Profit
Gross profit calculation: Sales - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Given: COGS = $900,000
Sales calculation: Cash on account = $1,000,437.20; Sales = Cash on account + sales amount (needs calculation)
Estimated sales:
Sales from earlier discussions: $1,000,000
Gross profit = Sales - COGS = $1,000,000 - $900,000 = $100,000.
Purchase Transactions
Bowers Company purchased merchandise on account for $28,000 (terms $2.10 net 30).
Merchandise returned = $5,500, received full credit.
If Bowers pays within the discount period (1%), the discount = $280.
Amount owed after the discount and return:
Initial amount after discount = $28,000 - $5,500 = $22,500
Deduct discount = $22,500 - $280 = $22,220.
Debit Account for Returned Merchandise:
Debit: Accounts Payable (Saunders Corporation)
Credit: Purchase Returns Inventory.
Sale of Merchandise Transactions
Sold merchandise on account = $18,000 (terms net 30); Cost of goods sold = $10,800.
Journal entry for the sale:
Debit Accounts Receivable: $18,000; Credit Sales: $18,000.
For the cost of goods sold:
Debit COGS: $10,800; Credit Inventory: $10,800
Gross profit = Sales - COGS = $18,000 - $10,800 = $7,200.
Received Payment
When payment is received, debit Cash, credit Accounts Receivable.
Refund Scenario
Refunded $600 for defective merchandise not returned:
Debit Cash: $600; Credit Customer Refunds Payable: $600.
Freight Terms
FOB Shipping Point: Buyer pays for freight and receives title at shipping.
FOB Destination: Seller pays for freight, title transfers when the buyer receives goods.
Example Calculations
Invoice A: Cost of goods = $24,000, returns = $2,000; discount = $240; payment = $23,760.
Transactions and Journal Entries
Sold merchandise to Blue Star Company for $112,000 (terms FOB shipping point).
Cost of goods sold = $67,200; Freight paid by Shore = $1,800.
Sale Entry:
Debit Accounts Receivable - Blue Star: $112,000; Credit Sales: $112,000.
For COGS:
Debit COGS: $67,200; Credit Inventory: $67,200.
Credit Memo for Returns
Debit Customer Returns for $7,500; Credit Accounts Receivable: $7,500.
Adjusting Entries for Returns
Sales refunds and allowances estimated: $125,000; Merchandise returns: $80,000.
Estimated returns entry:
Debit Estimated Returns Inventory: $80,000; Credit COGS: $80,000.
Refunds:
Debit Sales: $125,000; Credit Customer Refunds Payable: $125,000.
Asset Turnover Ratio Calculation
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average Assets.
Average Assets calculation: (Beginning Assets + Ending Assets) / 2.
Example for Year 2021:
Sales = $1,562,000; Average Assets = $650,000 + $770,000 / 2 = $710,000
Ratio = $1,562,000 / $710,000 = 2.2 (favorable).
