23 5-23 P2 SALES OF MERCHANDISE Each sales transaction for a seller of merchandise involves two parts: Revenue received in the form of an asset from a customer. Recognition of the cost of merchandise sold to a customer.

24 5-24 P2 SALES OF MERCHANDISE On November 3, Z-Mart sold $2,400 of merchandise on credit. The merchandise has a cost basis to Z-Mart of $1,600.

25 5-25 P2 SALES DISCOUNTS Sales discounts on credit sales can benefit a seller by decreasing the delay in receiving cash and reducing future collection efforts.

26 5-26 P2 SALES DISCOUNTS Z-Mart completes a $1,000 credit sale with terms of 2/10, n/60. The account was paid in full within the 60-day period. The account was paid in full within the 10-day discount period.

27 5-27 P2 SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES Sales returns and allowances usually involve dissatisfied customers and the possibility of lost future sales. Sales returns refer to merchandise that customers return to the seller after a sale. Sales allowances refer to reductions in the selling price of merchandise sold to customers.

28 5-28 P2 SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES Recall Z-Mart s sale for $2,400 that had a cost of $1,600. Assume the customer returns part of the merchandise. The returned items sell for $800 and cost $600. Sales Returns and Allowances is a Contra Account subtracted from sales Defective inventory valued at estimated value not its cost

29 5-29 P2 SALES ALLOWANCES Assume that $800 of the merchandise Z-Mart sold on November 3 is defective but the buyer decides to keep it because Z-Mart offers a $100 price reduction. Sales Allowance

34 5-34 P4 SINGLE-STEP INCOME STATEMENT

35 5-35 CLASSIFIED BALANCE SHEET Highly Liquid Less Liquid

36 5-36 GLOBAL VIEW Accounting for Merchandise Purchases and Sales Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS include broad and similar guidance for the accounting of merchandise purchases and sales. Financial Statement Differences 1. Order of expenses 2. Separate disclosures 3. Presentation of expenses 4. Classification of operating and nonoperating expenses 5. Alternative measures of income 6. Order of current and noncurrent items on the balance sheet

37 5-37 A1 ACID-TEST RATIO Acid-Test Ratio = Quick Assets Current Liabilities Acid-Test Ratio = Cash + S-T Investments + Receivables Current Liabilities A common rule of thumb is the acid-test ratio should have a value of at least 1.0 to conclude a company is unlikely to face liquidity problems in the near future.

38 5-38 A2 GROSS MARGIN RATIO Gross Margin Ratio = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Net Sales Percentage of dollar sales available to cover expenses and provide a profit.
