Answer 1

Selma's accrual basis gross receipts for 2016 are $1,350,000

The cost of goods sold for 2016 under the accrual method is $1,150,000

The gross profit from merchandise sales for 2016 under the accrual basis is $200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Selma's accrual basis gross receipts for 2016 are = cash receipts + accounts receivable - cash collected from 2015 sales - bank loan = $1,400,000 + $250,000 - $200,000 - $100,000 = $1,350,000

The cost of goods sold during 2016 = total purchases made during 2016 + ending inventory 2015 - ending inventory 2016 = $1,300,000 + $150,000 - $300,000 = $1,150,00

The gross profit for 2016 = gross receipts - cost of goods sold = $1,350,000 - $1,150,000 = $200,000
