SHORT ANSWER

98. What is the difference between a periodic and perpetual inventory system for merchandise inventory?

ANS:
The periodic inventory system requires the company to adjust the ending inventory balance at year end
after a physical count. The perpetual inventory system maintains continuous records of inventory in
the Merchandise Inventory account, which provides a current cost balance.

99. Assume the general ledger Accounts Receivable controlling account matches the balance of the
schedule of accounts receivable. Is it possible that errors could have occurred anyway? Explain how
this could have occurred or explain why it is impossible for this to have occurred.

ANS:
If the balance of the general ledger Accounts Receivable controlling account matches the balance of
the schedule of accounts receivable, it only means that the two are equal. Several errors could have
occurred. Amounts could have been posted to the incorrect accounts, thus causing an error in the
customer account that received the incorrect charge or credit for payment and an error in the account
that should have received the charge or credit for payment⎯two problems from one error. Arithmetic
errors and transpositions and slides that carry through to the controlling account, as well as to the
subsidiary ledger, can occur. A check or a sales invoice may simply fail to be recorded, causing an
error to the customer account balance, even though everything appears to be in balance.

He took her hand and held it between his two strong hands.
“Don’t you think,” she whispered, so that he had to bend closer to
hear what she said, “don’t you think I—I ought to be consulted?”
“You—you,” he cried in wonderment, “would you——”
She looked at him with a smile, and her eyes were radiant with
unspoken happiness.
“I want you, Jimmy,” she said. It was the first time she had called him
by name. “I want you, dear.”
His arms were about her, and her lips met his.
They did not hear the tinkle of the bell, but they heard the knock at
the door, and the girl slipped from his arms and was collecting the
tea-things when Angel walked in.
He looked at Jimmy inanely, fiddling with his watch chain, and he
looked at the girl.
“Awfully sorry to intrude again,” he said, “but I got a wire at the little
postoffice up the road telling me I needn’t take the case at
Newcastle, so I thought I’d come back and tell you, Jimmy, that I will
take what I might call a ‘cemetery drink’ with you to-night.”
“I am not going,” said Jimmy, recovering his calm.
“Not—not going?” said the astonished Angel.
“No,” said the girl, speaking over his shoulder, “I have persuaded him
to stay.”
“Ah, so I see!” said Angel, stooping to pick up two hairpins that lay
on the hearthrug.
THE END
A New and Deadly Force is Introduced
In A Plot to Destroy
London.

The Three Days’


Terror
By J. S. FLETCHER
It was impossible for Lord Grandminster, Prime Minister of
England, to believe, at first that London could be
destroyed in a terrible and unknown manner if the
fabulous sum of money, demanded by the men who
boasted they were the possessors of a new Force which
was mighty enough to wreck the world, was not delivered
before a set date. The ransom was not paid and the first
blow of “The Dictators” was struck. Charing Cross was
leveled to the ground in a manner that left no doubt of the
powers of the pitiless, unknown Dictators. Three days of
looting and terror followed in the city; days filled with
maddening suspense for the ministry that had disregarded
the ultimatum—a suspense that was only ended when the
steamer Malvolio was sunk in the North Sea.

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright

these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,”
such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt

property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500


West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
