During 2016, the first year of operations, XYZ Corp sold goods for $10,000,000. The COGS recognized was $4,000,000. Based on past experience XYZ estimates that 8% of all sales will be returned. Actual returns during 2016 were 4%. During 2017 another 5% was returned. What is the income (ignoring taxes) that XYZ Corp will recognize during 2016?
Total sales=$10,000,000.
Estimated sales returns=8%*$10,000,000
=$800,000.
Actual returns during 2016=$10,000,000*4%
=$400,000.
Allowance for sales returns to be made=$800,000 -$400,000.
Revised sales or net sales would be $10,000,000 -$800,000
=$9,200,000.
Proportionate cost of goods sold for estimated returns =($4,000,000/10,000,000)*800,000
=$320,000.
Therefore net cost of sales= Cost of sales - estimated returns cost of sales.
=$4,000,000 - $320,000.
=$3,680,000.
Income that would be recognized in 2016=Net sales - Net cost of sales
$9,200,000 -$3,680,000
=$5,520,000
