Objective 14.1: Identify all costs and apply the lower

of cost or market to inventory

The Cost Concept guides the initial valuation of inventory. Purchases are recorded at cost less any purchase discounts earned.

Freight In is the cost incurred to bring inventory to the sale location

FOB (for Free On Board) describes shipping terms1. FOB shipping point means freight is free

to the purchaser only to the shipping point

2. FOB destination means freight is free to the purchaser to the purchaser’s destination

Many firms rely on both the materiality and the cost benefit concept to argue that the incidental inventory acquisition costs of freight, storage, insurance, etc. are not material and further, the cost of appropriately assigning these costs to items of inventory outweigh any benefits received. They justify recording inventory costs using invoice prices only.

The Conservatism Concept governs the issue of changing market values for inventory

When preparing end of fiscal period financial statements the Lower of Cost or Market values should be used when the end of period inventory adjusting entry is considered.

Objective 14.3: Compare periodic with perpetual

inventory systems

Perpetual –the inventory account is updated with each purchase, sale and return that affects inventory.

Perpetual –the inventory account is updated with each purchase, sale and return that affects inventory.

Periodic –the inventory account is updated only at the end of the fiscal period

Periodic –the inventory account is updated only at the end of the fiscal period

©CourseCollege.com

51

Perpetual

•Inventory account updated with each transaction

•Cost of Goods Sold account is used

•Inventory account is used to record inventory purchases

Periodic

•Inventory account updated at the end of the fiscal period

•Cost of Goods Sold is not used, COGS is calculated

• Purchases account used to record inventory purchases

Perpetual vs Periodic

52

Why Periodic?

Before the technology advances of

computerization, the periodic method was a reliable and

simple method of calculating Cost of Goods Sold using the

following formula:

Periodic formula

54

•Note the beginning inventory total

• Record purchases of inventory during the period

•Count the inventory remaining at the end of the period

Using Periodic formula

14.3

©CourseCollege.com

55

Beginning inventory + net purchases – ending inventory

= Cost of Goods Sold

Using Periodic formula

This allows the firm to simplify the tracking of inventory

changes during the period and rely on the ending count to

establish Cost of Goods Sold.14.3

56

Disadvantages of Periodic

•During the fiscal period, Cost of Goods Sold must be estimated

•Inventory management efforts may have limited day to day sales information

is not an separate expense account, it is an amount that must be computed using the

COGS formula.

Gross Profit MethodThis method uses the firm’s historic gross profit percentage to estimate Cost of Goods Sold

This method uses the firm’s historic gross profit percentage to estimate Cost of Goods Sold

With Cost of Goods Sold (estimated), ending Inventory can also be estimated using the Periodic formula:

Ending Inventory = Beg Inv. + Purchases - COGS

Retail Inventory MethodWith this method, Inventory is

recorded at expected retail sales price.

With this method, Inventory is recorded at expected retail sales

price.

Using the percentage gross profit used to “mark up” the inventory to retail,

Cost of Goods Sold can be estimated:

Cost of Goods Sold =

Sales x (1- % [expected]Gross Profit)

Using the percentage gross profit used to “mark up” the inventory to retail,

Cost of Goods Sold can be estimated:

Cost of Goods Sold =

Sales x (1- % [expected]Gross Profit)14.4

Retail Inventory Method1- % [expected]Gross Profit

Can be described as the Cost to Retail ratio.

1- % [expected]Gross Profit

Can be described as the Cost to Retail ratio.

If inventory records are maintained at the marked up retail price, we can divide the historic cost of the inventory by the retail values and arrive at the Cost to Retail ratio.
