 Determine the correct inventory amount on December 31.

 The correct inventory amount on December 31 $ _______ 

Answer 1

Unadjusted inventory $263510

Adjustments

1. No adjustment since ownership is already transferred to the buyer at shipping point, the goods are not included in value of inventory.

2. No adjustment as ownership will transfer once the other pay will receive the inventory. And the inventory is not yet recieved

3. +27240 as the ownership is with Pharoah. It should be included in inventory

4. +49400 as the ownership is retained by Pharoah, the inventory will be included

5. - 45300 as the ownership is not retained by Pharoah, it has to be excluded from inventory

Thus adjusted inventory is 263510 +27240+49400-45300 = $294850
