The following are some of the transactions that affected the inventory of the Estella Marie Company during 2010.
Jan.8 Stella Marie purchased raw materials with list price of P200,000 and was given a trade discount of 20%
and 10%; terms 2/15, n/30. Estella Marie values inventory at the net invoice price.
Feb 14 Estella Marie repossessed an inventory item from a customer who was overdue in making payment. The
unpaid balance on the sale is P15,200. The repossessed merchandise is to be refinished and replaced
on sale. It is expected that the item can be sold for P24,000 after estimated refinishing costs of P6,800.
The normal profit for this item is considered to be P3,200.
Apr. 3 The repossessed item was resold for P24,000 on account, 20% down.
Aug. 30 A sale on account was made of finished goods that have a list price of P59,200 and a cost P38,400. A
reduction of P8,000 off the list price was granted as a trade-in allowance. The trade-in item is to be priced
to sell at P6,400 as is. The normal profit on this type of inventory is 25% of the sales price.

At the end of the first quarter of operations, Reed is feeling pretty good about his early results. The first harvest was a
success; 500 bushels of grapes were harvested with a value of P50,000 (based on current local commodity prices at the
time of harvest). And, given the strong yield from area vineyards during this season, the net realizable value of Reed’s
vineyard has increased by P25,000 at the end of the quarter. After storing the grapes for a short period of time, Reed was
able to sell the entire harvest for P60,000.

(c) Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the grapes harvested in the first quarter.
