Question - As the manager of the accounts receivable department for Beavis Leather Goods, Ltd., you recently noticed that Kelly Collins, your accounts receivable clerk who is paid $1,200 per month, has been wearing unusually tasteful and expensive clothing. (This is Beavis's first year in business.) This morning, Collins drove up to work in a brand new Lexus.

Naturally suspicious by nature, you decide to test the accuracy of the accounts receivable balance of $132,000 as shown in the ledger. The following information is available for your first year (precisely 9 months ended September 30, 2010) in business.

1. Collections from customers .......................$188,000

2. Merchandise purchased................................360,000

3. Ending merchandise inventory........................90,000

4. Goods are marked to sell at 40% above cost.

Assuming all sales were made on account, compute the ending balance that should appear in the ledger, noting any apparent shortage. What would you do with this information?
