Determine the total amount of assets and the amount of expense shown on the year 1 financial statements assuming Zachary used the labor and materials to provide dental cleaning services to 500 patients. State the name(s) of the expense account(s) shown on the income statement.
Explanation / Answer
1) Cash at the end = Cash at the beginning - Cash paid for materials - Cash paid to employees
= $345,000 - $79,350 - 258,750 = $6,900
Total cost of goods manufactured = Materials+Labor
= $79,350+$258,750 = $338,100
Cost per chair = $338,100/1,500 chairs = $225.40 per chair
Ending Inventory = 1,500 chairs - 1,200 chairs sold = 300 chairs
Value of Ending Inventory = 300 chairs*$225.40 = $67,620
Total Assets = Cash ending balance+Ending Inventory
= $6,900+$67,620 = $74,520
The expense will be cost of goods sold which is calculated as follows:-
Cost of goods Sold = 1,200 chairs sold*$225.40 per chair = $270,480
2) In this case the name of expense will be dental cleaning service expense.
Dental cleaning service Expense = Materials+Labor
= $79,350+$258,750 = $338,100
Total Assets = Cash ending balance = $6,900 (there will be no inventory in this case)
Total Assets $74,520 Total expenses $270,480 Name of the expense Cost of goods soldRelated Questions
