Perpetual inv system Cost flow assumptions
COGS only for goods that have actually been purchased through the date of sale, compared to periodic system which includes all purchases.
Specific identification - same results as periodic
Moving Averaging (perpetual system) - WA cost per unit is calculated after each purchase of inventory.
Perpetual inv system Cost flow assumptions
COGS only for goods that have actually been purchased through the date of sale, compared to periodic system which includes all purchases.
Specific identification - same results as periodic
Moving Averaging (perpetual system) - WA cost per unit is calculated after each purchase of inventory.
FIFO - same values as periodic
LIFO - (different from periodic) each sale is costed with the most recent purchase available preceding the sale, compared to using the latest purchase for the entire period.
FIFO and LIFO effects on EI and COGS
EI
FIFO - Reflects latest costs
LIFO - Reflects earliest costs
COGS
FIFO - Reflects earliest costs
LIFO - Reflects latest costs.
FIFO
- flow of costs is the same as physical flow for most firms
- balance sheet valuation of inventory is an approximation to current cost, more relavant than historic
- matching revenues and expenses on the incomes statement is not ideal
- inventory value in balance sheet will be a current and relevant amount, but COGS are considred to be less current or relevant
LIFO (quantity of good)
- matching of revenues and expenses on income statement improved over FIFO
- income tax advantages, higher COGS, lower tax burden, firm must also use it for the books,
- balance sheet presentation is less than ideal
- minimize inventory profits (phantom or illusory profits)
- (negative consequence is tax effect of LIFO liquidation)
LIFO Liquidation
current-period COGS represented by the cost of goods acquired in prior years
DV (Dollar Value) LIFO (advantages)
- Reduces the effect of the liquidation problem
- takes a company’s ending inventory in FIFO dollars and converts them to LIFO dollars, liquidation problem is reduced
- Allows companies to use FIFO internally
- most companies prefer internally FIFO, DV LIFO allows companies an opportunity to do so.
- Reduces Clerical Costs
- a company can maintain a FIFO system for internal purposes, and convert those results to LIFO for external purposes.
- a company must maintain only a single inventory system (FIFO) during the accounting period, thus REDUCING clerical costs
Implementing DV LIFO
Conversion Index Formula
- inventory to pools, group similar projects into groups
- Conversion Index = Ending Inventory in CY Dollars / Ending Inventory in Base-year dollars
- Base year - specific price level for the pool in effect at the beg of year in which firm adopted LIFO
- When FIFO is used internally, ending inventory under FIFO is used as the current cost
Converting FIFO ending inve to LIFO ending invt
- Ending Inv = FIFO ending inventory (bsae year price index/year end price index)
- Change in inv in base-year cost = End inv in base-year dollars - Beg inv in base year dollars.
Current year layer at current year - costs
- Current year layer at base-year cost * conversion index
Ending inventoru und DV LIFO
- Beg DV LIFO Inv. + Current Year later at current year cost
Loss on inventory
cost < market, no loss recognition, reported at cost
cost > market, loss recognized written down to market
Subsquent measurement of inventory
-if entity uses FIFO or WA inventory valuation, the susbsequent event is measurement is cost or net realizable value (LC-NRV)
- inventory is reported at the lower of cost or market (LC-M) or lower of cost or net relizable value (LC-NRV)
- Calculating Market value
- Replacement cost, if between ceiling (NRV - Selling price - estimated cost of completion and selling) or FLOOR (NRV - Normal profit margin)
LC - M - company must employ 1 of 3 approaches
- Individual item basis - 1000 items, a total o f1,000 comparisons will be made to determine
- Category Basis - 1000 items grouped into 10 categrories, total of 10 comparison will be made to determing
- Total basis - single comparison to determine
LC - M - Journal Entry – Direct method or allowance method
Direct Method:
Dr. COGS
Cr. Inventory
Allownace Method Dr. Holding Loss CR. Allowance to reduce inventory to LC-M
Estimating ending inventory gross margin method
only used for estimation of ending inventory purposes, not used for financial reporting of inventory.
Gross Margin Percentage = Margin on Sales = (Sales - COGS)/Sales
Margin on Cost = (Sales - COGS)/ COGS
Compare both margins:
Sales
- Costs
= Margin
When you have sales margin, set 1.0 at sales and margin at the .40.
When you have a cost margin set, 1.0 at cost and marge at the .40
(Margin on Sales) / (1 - Margin on Sales) = Margin on Cost
(Margin on Cost) / (1 - Margin on Cost) = Margin on Sales
Beg. Inventory + Net purchases = End Inv. + COGS
Beg. Inv + Net purchases = End inv + Sales*(Cost/Sales)
Cost/Sales = 1 - Margin %
Retail inventory method (basic)
- ending inv. at retail is calculated or counted at year end
- Cost-to-retail ratio is calculate
- ending inventory at retail is multiplied by the cost-to-retail ratio to arrive at est. inv at cost
Equation:
EI (cost) = EI (retail) * CR
CR ratio = Goods Avilable for sale (COST) / GAFS (Retail)
USES LC-Market to determine inventory write-down for (FIFO, LIFO, or Average)
Variations in Retail inventory method
FIFO - C/R excludes the cost of beg inv from the numerator and the retail value of beginning inventory from the denominator
FIFO LC - M - C/R excludes the cost of beginning inventory from the numerator and the retail value of beginning inventory from the denominator. Also excludes net markdowns from the cost ratio
Average - cost ratio includes begin inv, along with current period purchases in both num and denom of C.R
Average, LC-M (Conventional Retail inventory method)- ratio includes beg inv, along with current perio purch in both num and denom of CR, but excludes net markdowns from the cost ratio.
DV LIFO Retail
- applied to inventory retail only
- FIFO retail method C/R ratio is applied to this retail layer yeidling the increase in cost at current prices
- this cost layer is addd to beginning inventory at DV LIFO cost to yeidl ending invotry at at DV LIFO Cost
Inventory GAPP Vs IFRS
GAPP
- Lower of cost or market LC-M or LC NRV
- may use more than one cost formula for similar inventories with similar use
- Reversal of the write down is prohibited
- LIFO permitted
- Cost Flow Assumption does not mirror physical flow
IFRS
- Lower of cost or net realizable value (LC-NRV) only
- same cost formulas must be used for inventory with a similar nature and use nature and use
- reversal of write down to NRV permitted
- LIFO prohibited
- Cost flow assumption mirrors physical flow
Plant assets inclusion
- be currently used in operations
- have a useful life extending more than one year beyond the balance sheet date
- have a physical substance (not intangible assets)
Land is excluded from plant assets because it currently not a productive assets, if held for investment purposes or future development
Costs Capitalized upon acquisition of plant assets
- cash equivalent price or negotiated acquisition costs
- “get ready costs” - setting up and testing machinery
- capitalize all expenditures necessary to bring the plant asset to its intended condition and location
Cost capitalized during the life of the plant asset
expenditure is material in amount, and the asset has increased or improved functionality, make better products or have a longer life, it is capitalized
addition - new major component of an asset (new room)
improvement - replacement of a major component of an asset (air condition)
rearrangement -restricting of an asset that does not extend its life but creates a new type of benefit
Methods of acquiring plant assets
- cash purchase
- deferred payment plan -credit purchase – PV of future cash payments using market rate of interest
- issuance of securities - FV of the security or the FV of the asset acquired
- Donated assets - recorded at FV, revenue or gain is also recorded
- Group Purchases – total negotiated price is allocated to the individual assets based on respective FV
self-constructed assets
4 components
- labor
- material
- Overhead
- incremental overhead approach
- –ex. overhead increased by 500, the incremental of 500 would be capitalized
- pro rata overhead allocation approach
- –ex. project represents 15% of direct labor hours for the period, 15% of total overhead will be allocated to project
- pro rata overhead allocation approach
- Interest cost incurred during the contstruction period
- capitalization of interest is allowed ONLY when assets are constructed. when assets are purchased outright, any interest on debt incurred to purchase the asset cannot be capitalized.
LOSS IS RECOGNIZED if costs to construct are more than market value

Interest capitalization conditions
3 that must be met.
1. qualifying expenditures have been made (ex. cahs transfers of other assets, debt) (Short-term non-interest bearing debt does not qualify because the firm has no opportunity cost on such debt
- activities that are necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress (construction procedding)
- interest cost is being incurred. actual interest is capitalized. Imputed interest is not capitalized.
Computing capitalizable interest
2 steps.
- compute average accumulated expenditures
- Avg. accumulated expenditure (AAE) must be computed. measurement of debt on an annual basis, that could have been avoided
- -AAE = Avg cash (or qualifying expenditure) investment in the project during the period
- Avg. accumulated expenditure (AAE) must be computed. measurement of debt on an annual basis, that could have been avoided
- apply the appropriate interest rates
- - interest rate multiplied by AAE is the amount of interest that could have been avoided
- -
Computing total of capitalizable interest
- WA method
- - WA = Total annual interest/ Tottal Principal
- - WA*AAE
- - subtract this amount by the total interest to get the remaining amount that should be expensed - Specific method
- - capitalized the interest on specifc construction loans first, then if needed, capitalize interest on all other debt based on the average interest rate for that debt
- - .10(contrstruction principal) + .08(AAE - construction principal)…..these rates are just examples
Interest capitalization limits
- avoidable debt is the lower of AAE and total interest-bearing debt
- When AAE < total interest bearing debt, reported interest expense for the period is the difference between total interest cost and the amount of interest capitalized. Not all debt could have been avoided
- AAE > total interest bearing debt, all interest cost is capitalized and there is no reported interest expense for the period
