The company reported estimated returns and allowances in 2016 of 1.5 percent of gross revenue. Timmers actually purchased 19,460,000 units of its product from its manufacturer in 2016 at an average cost of $18.00 per unit. Timmers began 2016 with 4,825,000 units of its product in inventory (carried at an average cost of $18.00 per unit). Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) for Timmers, Inc. in 2016 were $112,500,000 and depreciation expense was $17,500,000. Timmers had $412,000,000 in debt outstanding throughout all of 2016. This debt carried an average interest rate of 5 percent. Finally, Timmers’ tax rate was 40 percent. Timmers’ fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. Given this information, compute net income for Timmers for 2016.
Referring back to the previous problem, compute Timmers’ ending inventory balance for 2016 (that is, what did Timmers report as inventory on its December 31, 2016 balance sheet).
