Ready Retailer reported Inventory in the amount of $ 88,000 on their December 31, 2019Balance Sheet. During the course of the year, Ready Retailer always "Expenses" any inventory that is purchased during the year, with "Cost of Goods Sold" always being the account debited.
At the end of the year, Ready Retailer completes a physical count of their inventory, and makes an adjusting entry so that their Inventory account is properly stated on their year-end, audited financial statements.
During 2020, Ready Retailer purchased a total of $ 720,000 of Inventory. On December 31, 2020, a physical count of inventory indicated that $ 105,000 of Inventory remained on hand.
