2. 7-1 M EASURING A ND R EPORTING I NVENTORIES CHAPTER 7.

3. 7-2Inventory “Inventory is often the largest and most important asset owned by a merchandising company.” What is the biggest expense on the income statement? Cost of Goods Sold What are the two major factors in determining Cost of Goods Sold? (Beg. Inventory + Purchases - End. Inventory)

4. 7-3Inventory l Inventory is where the action is! l It’s a real can of worms.

5. 7-4 Balance Sheet Amount The inventory dollar amount on the balance sheet is the product of what two factors? (i.e., What? x What?) Balance Sheet Amount = Quantity x Cost “War stories” about inventory observations

6. 7-5 Inventory Costs Include l Invoice price l Insurance while in transit l Transportation l Handling costs to get the inventory ready for sale e.g., washing cars (i.e., all costs to get the inventory into a position and condition for resale.) 251

7. 7-6 l Errors in inventory may cause misstatements in the following areas: u Income Statement COGS, Gross Margin, Net Income u Balance Sheet Inventory, Retained Earnings Impact of Inventory Errors on Financial Statements

8. 7-7 Impact of Inventory Errors on Financial Statements Assume that the inventory at the end of 19A is misstated. What is the impact of the error on the Income Statements and Balance Sheets for 19A and 19B? 19A19B Error 12-31 Income Statement: Impact of Error? Year Ended 12-31-19A Year Ended 12-31-19B Balance Sheet: 12-31-19A 12-31-19B Wrong End Inv, COGS, GM, Net Income Wrong Beg Inv, COGS, GM, Net Income Wrong Inventory and Retained Earnings Nothing wrong! The error "washes out" (i.e., counterbalances)

10. 7-9 Impact of Inventory Errors on Financial Statements O.K. 5k over O.K. 5k over 5k under 5k over O.K.!!! O.K. 5k under

Impact of Inventory Errors on Financial Statements

13. 7-12 Impact of Inventory Errors on Financial Statements There is a much simpler way of getting the effect of an error on net income. u I call it the “sneaky way” because it uses the balance sheet equation. u As before in ILL. 7.1, if inventory at 12-31-98 is overstated by $5,000, determine the effect on 1998 net income as follows: 12-31-98 A = L + S/E Overstated by 5K

14. 7-13 Methods of Determining Inventory Cost Periodic method was discussed in Chapter 6

15. 7-14 Perpetual Inventory Procedure The inventory account is continuously updated for... u Inventory purchases u Purchase returns u Inventory sales u Sales returns

16. 7-15 Comparing Journal Entries sales under the perpetual method require two journal entries For comparison, let’s make the journal entries for each of the following transactions using both the periodic and perpetual methods. Keep in mind that sales under the perpetual method require two journal entries.

61. 7-60 Perpetual Inventory Procedure Now let’s turn our attention to the perpetual inventory procedure.

62. 7-61 FIFO Perpetual Inventory Procedure 1,200 Let’s start with some fresh information. Computers, Inc. has 1,200 units in inventory on November 30. The company started the month of November with 1,000 units on hand at a cost of $5.25 per unit. The company uses the FIFO perpetual procedure to determine: (1) Ending inventory (2) Cost of goods sold

63. 7-62 FIFO Perpetual Inventory Procedure we must know when each unit was sold To calculate the FIFO cost for ending inventory and cost of goods sold, we must know when each unit was sold. In this example we will provide information for purchases and sales as it is needed.

84. 7-83 Advantages and Disadvantages of LIFO Advantages l In periods of rising prices, pay less taxes. l Matches latest inventory costs with current revenues. Disadvantages l LIFO conformity rule for tax and book purposes. l Cost of record keeping higher. l Inventory valuation is at older costs.

85. 7-84 In Periods of Rising Prices... LIFO l Matches high (newer) costs with current (higher) sales. l Values inventory on low (older) cost basis. l Results in lower taxable income.FIFO l Matches low (older) costs with current (higher) sales. l Values inventory approximating higher current costs. l Results in higher taxable income.

86. 7-85 GAAP requires inventory be valued at the Lower of Cost or Market (LCM). u Cost u Cost refers to the invoice price and other costs such as transportation. It is determined by one of the four inventory cost flow methods previously discussed. u Market u Market generally refers to the replacement cost of the inventory. u LCM is called the inventory “valuation method” Departures From Cost Basis of Inventory Valuation
