Q

What is Net Realizable Value?

A

Net Selling Price less costs to complete/dispose

Same as “Market Ceiling” in lower of cost or market method

19
Q

Lower of Cost or Market

A

IFRS - Does NOT allow
GAAP - LIFO and Retail only

Market = Current Replacement Cost

20
Q

Define Market Value

A

The middle value of an inventory item’s replacement cost, market ceiling, and market floor

21
Q

Define Replacement Cost

A

Cost to purchase the item of inventory as of the valuation date

22
Q

Define Market Ceiling

A

Net Realizable Value

23
Q

Define Market Floor

A

Net Realizable Value less profit

24
Q

What are the two types of inventory systems?

A
  • Periodic

- Perpetual

25
Q

What is the Periodic Inventory System?

A

Only uses physical count to determine amount of inventory and is usually done annually

COGS is calculated by backing into the number from beginning and ending inventory balance, as well as purchases

26
Q

How to calculate COGS

A

Beginning Inventory
+ Purchases
- Ending Inventory
= COGS

27
Q

Journal Entry to record sale of Inventory under the Periodic Inventory System

A

DR Cash
CR Sales

*There is NO Inventory or COGS entry

28
Q

What is the downside to the Periodic Inventory System?

A

It assumes:

  • Inventory is sold –> Could be stolen
  • Inventory count is correct

*If inventory count is overstated, then COGS is understated, and gross profit is overstated

29
Q

What is the Perpetual Inventory System?

A

Inventory is updated for each purchase and sale as they occur. Keeps a running total of inventory balances

30
Q

Journal Entry to record sale of Inventory under the Perpetual Inventory System

A

Purchase:
DR Inventory
CR Cash

Sale:
DR COGS
CR Inventory

31
Q

Cost Flow Assumption

A

Methods available for moving costs from inventory to COGS

GAAP does not require a rational relationship with the physical inventory flows as long as the method most clearly reflects periodic income

32
Q

What is the Specific Identification Method?

A

The cost of an item in inventory is uniquely identified to that item. Typical for physically large or high value items.

Examples: Vin# for cars, boats, diamonds, etc.

33
Q

First In, First Out (FIFO)

A
  • Sell old first
  • Ending Inventory = Replacement Cost
  • Ending Inventory and COGS are the SAME whether a periodic or perpetual inventory system is used
  • Better ratios –> Appears more profitable
  • Lower of Cost or NRV
34
Q

Effect of FIFO and rising prices

A

FIFO - Selling the oldest (cheapest)

Decreases Expense –> Increases Gross Profit –> Increases Retained Earnings –> Increases Equity –> Increases Asset = Unsold New (Expensive)

35
Q

What is the Weighted Average Method?

A

Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale ($) / Total Units of Goods Available for Sale

Periodic Inventory System ONLY

36
Q

What is the Moving Average Method?

A

Computes the Weighted Average cost after EACH purchase

Perpetual Inventory System ONLY

37
Q

Last In, First Out (LIFO)

A
  • US GAAP ONLY
  • Sells last first
  • Ending inventory is the oldest cost
  • Tax Benefit - Minimizes Taxable Income
  • Lower of Cost or Market (Middle)
38
Q

What is the LIFO Conformity Rule?

A

If LIFO is used to compile taxable income, it must also be used in the financial statements.

Prevents companies from reducing their taxable income while using a different method to derive a higher income figure in their financial statements

39
Q

Effect of LIFO and rising prices

A

LIFO - Selling the newest (expensive)

Increases Expense –> Decreases Gross Profit –> Decreases Retained Earnings –> Decreases Equity –> Decreases Asset = Ending Inventory is cheaper price

Lower Gross Profit is good for taxable income, but not for financial statements

40
Q

Dollar Value LIFO

A

Inventory is measured in dollars and is adjusted for changing price levels. An estimate of change in price levels is required by use of a price index.

LIFO layer at base year x price index
= Dollar Value LIFO

41
Q

How to calculate the price index?

A

Ending Inventory at Current Year Cost /

Ending Inventory at Base Year Cost

42
Q

Gross Profit Method

A

Used for Interim Financials - Quarterly and Periodic

Inventory is valued at retail and the average gross profit percentage is used to determine the inventory cost - have to back into COGS (plug)

43
Q

What are Firm Purchase Commitments?

A

A legally enforceable agreement to purchase a specified amount of goods at some time in the future

Benefit - Locking into a set price if prices increase
Disadvantage - If prices go down, you are at a loss

Requires disclosure
