Not included in the physical count were $30,000 of goods purchased from Blossom Company, FOB, shipping point, and $25,500 of goods sold to Splish Brothers Inc. for $33,000, FOB destination. Both the Blossom purchase and the Splish Brothers sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Blue Spruce report as its December 31 inventory?

Answer 1

Blue Spruce report as its December 31 inventory is $285,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct inventory

= 229,500 + goods purchased FOB shipping point 30,000 + goods sold FOB destination 25,500

= 229,500 + 30,000 + 25,500

= 285,000
