Problem 6.8B
Hearthstone sells commercial kitchen equipment. At December 31, 2015, Hearthstone's inventory amounted to $750,000. During the first week of January 2016, the company made only one purchase and one sale. These transactions were as follows:
Jan. 5
Purchased 90 machines from Rock Creek Corporation. The total cost of these machines was $60,000, terms 3/10, n/60.
Jan. 10
Sold 45 different types of products on account to Harolds, Inc. The total sales price was $42,000, terms 5/10, n/90. The total cost of these 45 units to Hearthstone was $15,000 (net of the purchase discount).
Hearthstone has a full-time accountant and a computer-based accounting system. It records sales at the gross sales price and purchases at net cost and maintains subsidiary ledgers for accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable.
