4 1,300 @ €4.10 6 1,000 @ 7.00
8 800 @ €4.30 12 900 @ 7.50
14 700 @ €4.40 18 400 @ 7.50
22 1,200 @ €4.50 25 1,400 @ 8.00

PROBLEMS
Pr. 8-139—Inventory cut-off.
Vogts Company sells TVs. The perpetual inventory was stated as £28,500 on the books at
December 31, 2018. At the close of the year, a new approach for compiling inventory was used
and apparently a satisfactory cut-off for preparation of financial statements was not made. Some
events that occurred are as follows.
1. TVs shipped to a customer January 2, 2019, costing £5,000 were included in inventory at
December 31, 2018. The sale was recorded in 2019.
2. TVs costing £12,000 received December 30, 2018, were recorded as received on January 2,
2019.
3. TVs received during 2018 costing £4,600 were recorded twice in the inventory account.
4. TVs shipped to a customer December 28, 2018, f.o.b. shipping point, which cost £10,000,
were not received by the customer until January, 2019. The TVs were included in the ending
inventory.
5. TVs on hand that cost £6,100 were never recorded on the books.
Instructions
Compute the correct inventory at December 31, 2018.
