Solution

Para resolver esta pregunta, sigamos los siguientes pasos:

  1. Identificar el problema: La compañía tiene un balance de inventario de mercancías de 15,050,perounconteofıˊsicorevelaquesoloexisten15,050, pero un conteo físico revela que solo existen 15,000 de inventario. Esto significa que hay una diferencia (o "shrinkage") de $50.

  2. Determinar el ajuste necesario: Para ajustar el balance de inventario a la cantidad física real, necesitamos reducir el valor del inventario en los libros en $50.

  3. Registrar el ajuste:

    • Débito a Costo de Mercancías Vendidas (Cost of Goods Sold): Esto refleja el costo de la mercancía que se ha perdido o no se encuentra.
    • Crédito a Inventario de Mercancías (Merchandise Inventory): Esto reduce el valor del inventario en los libros.
  4. Escribir la entrada de ajuste:

    • Débito a Costo de Mercancías Vendidas por $50.
    • Crédito a Inventario de Mercancías por $50.

Por lo tanto, la entrada de ajuste para registrar la disminución del inventario incluye:

  • Débito a Cost of Goods Sold por $50.
  • Crédito a Merchandise Inventory por $50.
