The following data and information have been gathered.
The fiscal year of the corporation ends on December 31.
An examination of the July bank statement and canceled checks revealed that checks written during the period July 1-15
totaled $56,400: $54,400 paid to accounts payable as of June 30, $2,800 for July merchandise shipments, and $4,100 paid for
other expenses. Deposits during the same period amounted to $79,700, which consisted of receipts on account from
customers with the exception of a $1,600 refund from a vendor for merchandise returned in July.
Correspondence with suppliers revealed unrecorded obligations at July 15 of $27,300 for July merchandise shipments,
including $1,600 for shipments in transit (f.o.b. shipping point) on that date.
Customers acknowledged indebtedness of $166,300 at July 15,2026. It was also estimated that customers owed another
$13,000 that will never be acknowledged or recovered. Of the acknowledged indebtedness, $2,100 will probably be
uncollectible.

the overall gross profit rate for the past 2 years was in effect during the current year. The corporation's audited financial
statements disclosed this information:
