ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. (a) Disagree. The steps in the accounting cycle are the same for both a merchandising company
and a service company.
(b) The measurement of income is conceptually the same. In both types of companies, net
income (or loss) results from the matching of expenses with revenues.
2. The normal operating cycle for a merchandising company is likely to be longer than in a service
company because inventory must first be purchased and sold, and then the receivables must be
collected.
3. The components of revenues and expenses differ as follows:
Merchandising
Service
Revenues
Expenses
Sales Revenue
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating
Fees, Rents, etc.
Operating (only)
7. Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 mean that a 2% cash discount may be taken if payment is made within
10 days of the invoice date; otherwise, the invoice price, less any returns, is due 30 days from the
invoice date.
10. (a) The primary source documents are: (1) cash sales—cash register tapes and (2) credit sales—
sales invoice.

Sales Discounts ($800 X 2%) ................................................ 16
Accounts Receivable ($900 – $100) .............................. 800
12. The perpetual inventory records for merchandise inventory may be incorrect due to a variety of
causes such as recording errors, theft, or waste.
13. Two closing entries are required:
14. Of the merchandising accounts, only Inventory will appear in the post-closing trial balance.
15. Sales revenues ...................................................................................................... $105,000
Cost of goods sold ................................................................................................. 70,000
Gross profit ............................................................................................................ $ 35,000
Questions Chapter 5 (Continued)
*18. (a) The operating activities part of the income statement has three sections: sales revenues,
cost of goods sold, and operating expenses.
*19. The single-step income statement differs from the multiple-step income statement in that: (1) all data
are classified into two categories: revenues and expenses, and (2) only one step, subtracting
total expenses from total revenues, is required in determining net income (or net loss).
20. Apple’s gross profit rate for 2013 was 37.6% [($170,910 – $106,606) ÷ $170,910]. Its gross
profit rate in 2012 was 43.9% [($156,508 – $87,846) ÷ $156,508] so the rate decreased from
2012 to 2013.
