Question

The Martino Corporation, in attempt to raise revenues, begins selling goods with an automatic right to return within six months if not completely satisfied. On November 1, $35,000 worth of goods with a cost of $22,000 are sold. Company officials expect that 15% of the goods sold will be returned before the expiration date in the following year. How much gross profit should be recognized on this sale in the current year?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Because the company can reasonably estimate that 15% of goods will be returned, it should record an allowance and therefore only record 85% of its gross profit on these sales (100% - 15%). Final GP should thus be $13K ($35K sales - $22K expenses) x 85%.
