Pineapple Republic is a specialty retailer that operates stores selling clothes under the trade names Pineapple Republic, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. Assume that you are employed as a stock analyst and your boss has just completed a review of the annual report of The Pineapple Republic, Inc. for the third quarter of 2013. She provided you with her notes, but they are missing some information that you need. Her notes show that the ending inventory for Pineapple Republic in the current quarter was $3.3 billion and in the previous quarter it was $2.3 billion. Net Sales for the current quarter were $6.6 billion. Gross Profit was $2.6 billion and Net Income was $ 350 million.


Required:
Determine the Cost of Goods Sold and Purchases for the third quarter. (Enter your answers in billions rounded to 1 decimal place.)


Cost of Goods Sold (in billions): Rearrange the equation (Sales – CGS = GP):

   
      Net Sales $ 6.6  
  –  Gross Profit   2.6  
 


      Cost of Goods Sold $ 4  
 







Purchases (in billions): Rearrange the CGS equation (BI + P – EI = CGS):

   
       Cost of Goods Sold $ 4  
   +  Ending Inventory   3.3  
   –  Beginning Inventory   (2.3 )
 


       Purchases $ 5

Determine the missing amounts in each of these four separate situations a through d.



Explanation:

On April 1, the company retained an attorney for a flat monthly fee of $3,500. Payment for April legal services was made by the company on May 12.

 a.
On April 1, the company retained an attorney for a flat monthly fee of $3,500. Payment for April legal services was made by the company on May 12.
 b.
A $1,080,000 note payable requires 10% annual interest, or $9,000 to be paid at the 20th day of each month. The interest was last paid on April 20 and the next payment is due on May 20. As of April 30, $3,000 of interest expense has accrued.
 c.
Total weekly salaries expense for all employees is $10,000. This amount is paid at the end of the day on Friday of each five-day workweek. April 30 falls on Tuesday of this year, which means that the employees had worked two days since the last payday. The next payday is May 3.
 
 
The above three separate situations require adjusting journal entries to prepare financial statements as of April 30. For each situation, present both the April 30 adjusting entry and the subsequent entry during May to record the payment of the accrued expenses. (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
