Goods in transit:
- Purchased goods not yet received
- Sold goods not yet delivered
- Goods in transit should be included in the inventory of the company that has legal title to the goods.
- Legal title is determined by the
terms of sale (e.g. FOB destination)
Consigned goods:
- To hold the goods of other parties and try to sell the goods for them for a fee, but without taking ownership of the goods.
- Many car, boat, and antique dealers sell goods on consignment
- Until sold, goods are included in the inventory of the seller (consignor), not the middle-man (consignee)
period costs (znaczenie)

Cost Flow Methods
metody przepływu kosztów
Items that are not interchangeable
- specific costs are attributed to the specific individual items of inventory
interchangeable (znaczenie)
zamienne
Items that are interchangeable
- FIFO
- weighted average cost
- LIFO (forbidden in international accounting standards
First-in, First-out
- Costs of earliest goods purchased are first to be
recognized in determining cost of goods sold - Often parallels actual physical flow of merchandise
- Companies determine cost of ending inventory by taking unit cost of most recent purchase and working backward until all units of inventory have been costed
Avarage- cost
- Allocates cost of goods available for sale on basis of weighted- average unit cost incurred
- Applies weighted-average unit cost to units on hand to determine cost of ending inventory
last-in, first-out
- Costs of latest goods purchased are first to be recognized in determining cost of goods sold
- Seldom coincides with actual physical flow of merchandise (Rzadko pokrywa się z rzeczywistym fizycznym przepływem towarów)
- Exceptions include goods stored in piles, such as coal or hay (siano)
Balance sheet effects:
- A major advantage of the FIFO method is that in a period of inflation, costs allocated to ending inventory will approximate their current cost
- A shortcoming of the average-cost method is that in a period of inflation, costs allocated to ending inventory may be understated in terms of current cost
Tax effects
- Both inventory and net income are higher when
companies use FIFO in a period of inflation - LiFo results in lower income taxes (because of lower net income) during times of rising prices
- Average-cost method results – in fact – the average
numbers, between FiFo and LiFo
