Beginning Inventory $63,000 $83,000

Cost of goods purchased $548,000 $508,000

Ending inventory $93,000 $63,000

Cost of goods sold $518,000 $528,000

The following two errors were made in the physical inventory counts:

1. 2012 ending inventory was overstated by $33,000

2. 2013 ending inventory was understated by $28,000.

Compute the correct cost of goods sold for both 2012 and 2013.

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation of cost of goods sold for the year 2016 and 2015

Particulars 2013 2012

Beginning inventory $63,000 $83,000

Cost of goods purchased $548,000 $508,000

Cost of goods available for sale $611,000 $591,000

Ending inventory (corrected) $121,000 $30,000

Cost of goods sold (corrected) $490,000 $561,000.

note:

In 2013 new ending inventory = $93,000 + $28,000 = $121,000

In 2012 new ending inventory = $63,000 - $33,000 = $30,000

Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased = Cost of goods available for sale

Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold
