Essay

Baden's Hardware Store prepared the following analysis of cost of goods sold for the previous three years:
Net income for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019 was $70,000, $60,000, and $55,000, respectively. Since net income was consistently declining, Mr. Baden hired a new accountant to investigate the cause(s) for the declines.
The accountant determined the following:
1. Purchases of $25,000 were not recorded in 2017.
2. The 2017 December 31 inventory should have been $24,000.
3. The 2018 ending inventory included inventory costing $5,000 that was purchased FOB destination and in transit at year end.
4. The 2019 ending inventory did not include goods costing $4,000 that were shipped on December 29 to Sampson Plumbing Company, FOB shipping point. The goods were still in transit at the end of the year.
