Home Office and Branch Accounting With Answer Key
AGENCY
Agencies are established to display merchandise and to take customers’ order but they don’t stock merchandise to fill
their orders or to pass on customers’ credit. Agencies are given only samples of merchandise to display. Agencies are
not required to have a complete accounting system. They keep only records of cash receipts and disbursements.

Branches stock merchandise coming from the home office or acquired from other suppliers, make sale to customers,
pass on customer’s credit, collect receivables, incur expenses and perform other functions normally associated with
the operations of a separate entity. Branches have their own books of accounts and prepare financial statements and
submit them to home office for consolidation.

PROBLEM 8
The Manila branch of Pacman Company is billed for merchandise at 20% gross profit rate. The branch sells them at 25%
above cost. On March 17, the entire branch’s merchandise was destroyed by fire. The branch records that were
recovered show:
Inventory, beginning (at billed price) 165,000
Shipment, Jan 1 – March 17 (at billed price) 100,000
Purchases from outsiders – all were sold at 20% mark-up on cost 7,500
Sales 169,000
Sales returns 3,750
Determine the following:
a. Branch beginning inventory at cost
b. Cost of merchandise destroyed by fire
There are instances when home office finds it necessary to authorize the transfer of merchandise from one branch to
another branch. Since branches receiving shipments are properly charged with freight and freight is properly accounted
as inventoriable cost, any excess freight should be absorbed by the home office and treated as an operating expense.
On the other hand, any reduction in freight is treated as savings by the home office.
