Capwell Corporation uses a periodic inventory system. The
company's ending inventory on December 31, 2018, its fiscal-year
end, based on a physical count, was determined to be $338,000.
Capwell's unadjusted trial balance also showed the following
account balances: Purchases, $740,000; Accounts payable; $270,000;
Accounts receivable, $285,000; Sales revenue, $920,000.
The internal audit department discovered the following items:
Goods valued at $44,000 held on consignment from Dix Company were included in the physical count but not recorded as a purchase.
Purchases from Xavier Corporation were incorrectly recorded at $64,000 instead of the correct amount of $46,000. The correct amount was included in the ending inventory.
Goods that cost $37,000 were shipped from a vendor on December 28, 2018, terms f.o.b. destination. The merchandise arrived on January 3, 2019. The purchase and related accounts payable were recorded in 2018.
One inventory item was incorrectly included in ending inventory as 220 units, instead of the correct amount of 1,600 units. This item cost $50 per unit.
The 2017 balance sheet reported inventory of $472,000. The internal auditors discovered that a mathematical error caused this inventory to be understated by $74,000. This amount is considered to be material. Comparative financial statements will be issued.
Goods shipped to a customer f.o.b. destination on December 25, 2018, were received by the customer on January 4, 2019. The sales price was $52,000 and the merchandise cost $28,000. The sale and corresponding accounts receivable were recorded in 2018.
Goods shipped from a vendor f.o.b. shipping point on December 27, 2018, were received on January 3, 2019. The merchandise cost $30,000. The purchase was not recorded until 2019.
Required:
1. Determine the correct amounts for 2018 ending
inventory, purchases, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and
sales revenue.
2. Calculate cost of goods sold for 2018.
3. What was the effect of the error in ending
inventory on 2017 before-tax income
Determine the correct amounts for 2018 ending inventory, purchases, accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales revenue, and cost of goods sold.

Agnew Manufacturing produces and sells three models of a single product, Standard, Superior, and DeLuxe, in a local market and in a regional market. At the end of the first quarter of the current year, the following income statement (in thousands of dollars) has been prepared.
| Total | Local | Regional | |||||||
| Sales revenue | $ | 15,300 | $ | 11,790 | $ | 3,510 | |||
| Cost of goods sold | 12,105 | 9,315 | 2,790 | ||||||
| Gross margin | $ | 3,195 | $ | 2,475 | $ | 720 | |||
| Marketing costs | 1,230 | 705 | 525 | ||||||
| Administrative costs | 606 | 465 | 141 | ||||||
| Total marketing and administrative | $ | 1,836 | $ | 1,170 | $ | 666 | |||
| Operating profits | $ | 1,359 | $ | 1,305 | $ | 54 | |||
Management has expressed special concern with the regional market because of the extremely poor return on sales. This market was entered a year ago because of excess capacity. It was originally believed that the return on sales would improve with time, but after a year, no noticeable improvement can be seen from the results as reported in the preceding quarterly statement.
In attempting to decide whether to eliminate the regional market, the following information has been gathered.
| Products | |||||||||
| Standard | Superior | DeLuxe | |||||||
| Sales revenue | $ | 5,900 | $ | 4,700 | $ | 4,700 | |||
| Variable manufacturing costs as a percentage of sales revenue | 60 | % | 70 | % | 60 | % | |||
| Variable marketing costs as a percentage of sales revenue | 2 | 2 | 2 | ||||||
| Product Sales by Markets | Local | Regional | ||||
| Standard | $ | 4,730 | $ | 1,170 | ||
| Superior | 3,530 | 1,170 | ||||
| DeLuxe | 3,530 | 1,170 | ||||
All administrative costs and fixed manufacturing costs would not be affected by eliminating the regional market. Marketing costs that are not listed as variable are fixed for the period and separable by market. Fixed marketing costs assigned to the regional market would be saved if that market were eliminated.
Required:
a. Assuming there are no alternative uses for Agnew's present capacity, would you recommend dropping the regional market?
b. Prepare the quarterly income statement showing contribution margins by products. Do not allocate fixed costs to products.
c. It is believed that a new model can be ready for sale next year if Agnew decides to go ahead with continued research. The new product would replace DeLuxe and can be produced by simply converting equipment presently used in producing the DeLuxe model. This conversion will increase fixed costs by $117,000 per quarter. What must be the minimum contribution margin per quarter for the new model to make the changeover financially feasible?
