Essay
O'Neil's Hardware Store, in St. John's, NL, prepared the following analysis of cost of goods sold for the previous three years: 
Profit for the years 2013, 2014, and 2015 was $83,000, $32,000, and $67,000, respectively. Since income had declined so much from 2013 to 2015, Mr. O'Neil hired a new accountant to investigate the cause(s) for the declines.
The accountant determined the following:
1. Purchases of $42,000 that occurred in 2013 were not recorded until 2014.
2. The December 31 2013 inventory should have been $23,000.
3. The 2014 ending inventory included inventory costing $6,000 that was purchased FOB destination point and was in transit at year end.
4. The 2015 ending inventory did not include goods costing $3,000 that were shipped on December 29 to Rosewell Plumbing Company, FOB shipping point. The goods were still in transit at the end of the year.
