Final answer:
To compute the correct December 31 inventory for Bonita Industries, we need to consider the items that were not included in the initial count. These include inventory sent on consignment, inventory sold but in transit, and inventory purchased but in transit. By adding the value of these items to the initial count, we can determine the correct December 31 inventory.
Step-by-step explanation:
To compute the correct December 31 inventory, we need to consider the items that were not included in the initial count.
- Bonita sent inventory costing $25,290 on consignment to Richfield Company. Since the inventory was at Richfield's showrooms on December 31, it should be included in Bonita's inventory.
- The company sold inventory costing $19,130 on December 28, with FOB shipping point terms. Since the goods were still in transit on December 31, they should be included in the inventory count.
- The company also purchased inventory costing $12,260 with FOB shipping point terms. Since the goods were in transit on December 31, they should be included in the inventory count as well.
To compute the correct December 31 inventory, we add the initial count of $325,800 with the value of the items that were not considered: $25,290 + $19,130 + $12,260 = $382,480. Therefore, the correct December 31 inventory is $382,480.
