At the beginning of the year, SnapIt had $13,800 of inventory. During the year, SnapIt purchased $42,600 of merchandise and sold $35,700 of merchandise. A physical count of inventory at year-end shows $14,800 of inventory exists. Prepare the entry to record inventory shrinkage.

Answer:

Shrinkage = Closing inventory according to the books - Actual closing inventory after physical count

Closing inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchased inventory - Sold inventory

= 13,800 + 42,600 - 35,700

= $20,700
