7. The physical inventory count at the end of the period consisted of 140 units of inventory.
Perpetual Inventory Balance Calculation:
Initial: 0 units
Purchased (1): +240 units
Returned to supplier (2): -12 units
Sold (3): -48 units
Customer returned (5): +6 units
Sold (6): -42 units
Perpetual Balance = $240 - 12 - 48 + 6 - 42 = 144$ units
Inventory Shortage: $144 \text{ units (perpetual)} - 140 \text{ units (physical)} = 4 \text{ units}$
Cost of Shortage: $4 \text{ units} \times \$220/\text{unit} = \$880$
$$
\begin{array}{|l|l|r|r|}
\hline
\textbf{Date} & \textbf{Account} & \textbf{Debit (\$)} & \textbf{Credit (\$)} \\
\hline
& \text{Cost of Goods Sold} & 880 & \\
& \quad \text{Inventory} & & 880 \\
& \quad \text{(To record inventory shortage based on physical count)} & & \\
\hline
\end{array}
