8. 8 What Is Inventory? Inventory designates goods held for sale in the normal course of business and, in the case of a manufacturer, goods in production or to be placed in production.

11. 11 Periodic Inventory Systems Cost of Goods Sold is determined and Inventory is adjusted to proper balance at period end. All purchases of inventoriable merchandise are recorded in the Purchases account. Ending inventory is determined by physical count of merchandise on hand.

12. 12 Perpetual Inventory Systems Cost of Goods Sold is determined and Inventory is adjusted to proper balance each time inventory is purchased or sold. All purchases of inventoriable goods are recorded in the Inventory account.

13. 13 Example: Inventory Systems Assume: Beginning Inventory50 units @ $10$ 500 Purchases 300 units @ $103,000 Sales275 units @ $154,125 Ending inventory (physical count)70 units @ $10700 Make the journal entries to record the purchases and sales for both the periodic and perpetual inventory systems.

14. 14 Example: Inventory Systems Purchases of Inventory Periodic Method Purchases……………………..3,000 Accounts Payable………….3,000 Perpetual Method Inventory……………………..3,000 Accounts Payable………….3,000

15. 15 Example: Inventory Systems Sales During the Period Periodic Method Accounts Receivable…………..4,125 Sales………………………...4,125 Perpetual Method Accounts Receivable…………..4,125 Sales………………………...4,125 Cost of Goods Sold……………2,750 Inventory……………………2,750

16. 16 Whose Inventory Is It? Goods in Inventory. Goods in Transit. –FOB Shipping Point: buyer’s inventory from time of shipment. –FOB Destination: seller’s inventory until receipt by buyer. Goods on Consignment: inventory of the consignor, not the consignee.

17. 17 Goods in Transit Quality Produce Goods being shipped are included in inventory of buyer while in transit. FOB Shipping Point Seller Buyer

18. 18 Goods in Transit FOB Destination Quality Produce Goods being shipped are included in inventory of seller until received by buyer. Seller Buyer

19. 19 Goods on Consignment Title to goods sold on consignment remains with the shipper until their sale or use by the dealer or customer.

20. 20 What Is Inventory Cost? Inventory Cost is all expenditures related to inventory acquisition, preparation, and placement for sale. Trade Discounts –Convert the catalog price to the actual price. –Record inventory at discounted price. Cash Discounts –Granted for payment of invoices within a limited time period. –Record inventory using the net method or gross method.

21. 21 Cash Discounts--Net Method Records inventory net of any purchase (cash) discounts. Example: June 1--purchased inventory for $100 Terms of payment: 2/10, n/30 Assuming a perpetual inventory method, record the purchase of the inventory and payment on June 8.

22. 22 June 1 Inventory..............................98 Accounts Payable.....…..... 98 Cash Discounts--Net Method

23. 23 June 1 Inventory..............................98 Accounts Payable.....…..... 98 June 8 Accounts Payable................98 Cash.........................…..... 98 Cash Discounts--Net Method

25. 25 June 28 Accounts Payable..............….98 Discounts Lost…………….. 2 Cash..............................….100 Cash Discounts--Net Method

26. 26 Cash Discounts--Gross Method Record inventory at gross cost; discounts are recorded only if taken. Example: June 1--purchased inventory for $100 Terms of payment: 2/10, n/30 Assuming a perpetual inventory method, record the purchase of the inventory and payment on June 8.

27. 27 June 1 Inventory..............................100 Accounts Payable.....…..... 100 Cash Discounts--Gross Method

37. 37 Specific Identification Method  Assigns the actual cost of the asset to Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold.  Provides a highly objective method of matching costs because cost flow exactly matches physical goods flow.  Is almost impossible to implement cost effectively.

40. 40 Average Cost Method Assigns the same average cost to each unit sold and each item in inventory. For Periodic Inventory, the unit cost is the weighted average for the entire period. For Perpetual Inventory, the unit cost is computed as a moving average, which changes with each new purchase of goods.

43. 43 First-in, First-out (FIFO) Method  Assigns historical unit cost to Cost of Goods Sold in the order the costs are incurred.  Provides a close match between physical product flow and product cost flow.  Results in the same inventory valuation and Cost of Goods Sold regardless of whether perpetual or periodic inventory is used.

44. 44 Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Method  Assigns the most recent historical costs to Cost of Goods Sold and the oldest costs to Inventory.  Is used primarily to minimize taxable income.  Results in differences between Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory for perpetual inventory versus periodic inventory.

45. 45 100units @ $10 per unit Apr. 1 Apr. 10 Apr. 20 80units @ $11 per unit Sold 140 units during April. 10units @ $11 per unit Sold 0 Sold 70 Sold all 70units @ $12 per unit Periodic Inventory System 0units @ $12 per unit Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Method

49. 49 Inventory Turnover Appropriateness of inventory size and position can be measured by calculating the Inventory Turnover Ratio. Inventory Turnover: Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

50. 50 Example: Inventory Turnover Determine the inventory turnover. Cost of Goods Sold$1,000 Beginning Inventory$ 90 Ending Inventory$ 110 Cost of Goods Sold$1,000 Beginning Inventory$ 90 Ending Inventory$ 110

51. 51 Cost of Goods Sold$1,000 Beginning Inventory$ 90 Ending Inventory$ 110 Cost of Goods Sold$1,000 Beginning Inventory$ 90 Ending Inventory$ 110 $1,000 ($90 + $110)/2 = 10 Example: Inventory Turnover

52. 52 Number of Days’ Sales in Inventory $1,000 ($90 + $110)/2 = 10 365 10 Number of days’ sales in inventory is 36.5

53. 53 Example--Dollar-Value LIFO 1.Compute ending inventory at ending prices. 2.Compute beginning inventory at ending prices. 3.Compute the difference. An increase represents a new LIFO layer. 4.LIFO ending inventory is beginning inventory at base-year prices plus the new LIFO layer.

62. 62 LIFO Advantages Advantages: Matches current costs with current revenues. Excludes inventory holding gains from gross profit. Income tax deferral.

63. 63 Disadvantages: Does not correspond with the physical flow of goods. Potential LIFO liquidation can draw old costs into cost of goods sold. Ending inventory balance can be much lower than current replacement cost. LIFO Disadvantages

64. 64 FIFO Advantages Advantages: Corresponds with physical flow of goods. Ending inventory balance is close to current replacement cost.

65. 65 Disadvantages: Matches older costs with current revenues. Inventory holding gains and losses are part of gross profit. No income tax deferral. FIFO Disadvantages
