CLAYPOOL HARDWARE
Partial Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 20__
Net sales $ 1,024,900
Cost of goods sold (1) $ 695,222
Gross profit $ 329,678
c. Claypool seems quite able to pass its extra transportation costs on to its customers and, in fact, enjoys
a significant financial benefit from its remote location. The following data support these conclusions:
Claypool Industry
Hardware Average Difference
Annual sales …………………………….. $1,024,900 $1,000,000 $24,900
Gross profit ……………………………… 329,678 250,000 (1) 79,678
Gross profit rate ………………………… 32% (2) 25% 7%
Claypool earned a gross profit rate of 32%, which is significantly higher than the industry average.
Claypool’s sales were above the industry average, and it earned $79,678 more gross profit than the
“average” store of its size.
To have a higher-than-average cost of goods sold and still earn a much larger-than-
average amount of gross profit, Claypool must be able to charge substantially higher
sales prices than most hardware stores. Presumably, the company could not charge such
prices in a highly competitive environment. Thus, the remote location appears to
insulate it from competition and allow it to operate more profitably than hardware stores
with nearby competitors.

HENDRY'S BOUTIQUE
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2005
Sales $ 226,000
Less: Sales returns and allowances 2,500
Net sales 223,500
Cost of goods sold 100,575
Gross profit 122,925
Other expenses:
Purchase discounts lost $ 250
Utilities expense 4,120
Office supply expense 520
Depreciation expense: office equipment 2,750
Rent expense 6,100
Insurance expense 900
Salaries expense 88,095 102,735
Income before income taxes expense 20,190
Income tax expense 8,190
Net income $ 12,000
c. Sales returns and allowances amount to only 1.1% of the store’s total sales. Thus, it appears
that customers are relatively satisfied with their purchases.
d. The use of the Purchase Discounts Lost account indicates that the store records purchases
net of any purchase discounts. Had the store recorded purchases at their gross invoice
amounts, this account would not be used, and Purchase Discounts Taken would have
appeared in the adjusted trial balance instead.
e. The $3,200 of sales taxes payable appearing in the adjusted trial balance represents sales
taxes collected by the store for the sales taxes imposed on its customers. When the store
submits this amount to the proper tax authorities, the liability will be removed. Sales taxes
are applicable only when merchandise is sold to the final customer; thus, retail stores
normally incur no sales taxes expense.
f. Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Merchandise Inventory are the accounts that comprise the
store’s operating cycle.

Paid transportation charge on inbound
c. Yes. Sole Mates should take advantage of 1/10, n/30 purchase discounts, even if it
must borrow money for a short period of time at an annual rate of 11%. By taking
advantage of the discount, the company saves 1% by making payment 20 days early.
At an interest rate of 11% per year, the bank charges only 0.6% interest over a 20-
day period (11% ´ 20¤365 = 0.6%). Thus, the cost of passing up the discount is
greater than the cost of short-term borrowing.
PROBLEM 6.8A
CPI
f. CPI probably would use a perpetual inventory system. The items in its inventory have a high
per-unit cost. Therefore, management will want to know the costs of the individual products
included in specific sales transactions, and also will want to keep track of the items in stock.
The company also has a computer-based accounting system, a full-time accountant, and a low
volume of transactions. This combination of factors eliminates the potential difficulties of
maintaining a perpetual system.
