Answer:

$1,325,000 is the amount to be recorded as accounts payable on Ashwood's report of 31 December, 2016 balance sheet

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount that Ashwood should report as accounts payable on its December 31, 2016 balance sheet.

The correct answer to this is adding together : The balance in Ashwood Company's Accounts Payable account at December 31, 2016 + Invoice cost of goods in transit from vendor on  December 31, 2016 + invoice cost of goods lost in transit

From the question, we can identify the following;

Balance in Ashwood Company's Accounts Payable account at December 31, 2016 = $1,200,000

invoice cost of goods in transit from vendor on  December 31, 2016 = $85,000

invoice cost of goods lost in transit = $40,000

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

1,200,000 + 85,000 + 40,000 = $1,325,000
