I. Purpose
 Review the concept of Inventory
 Provide the policies, guidelines and
procedures associated with managing
inventories
 Answer all your questions
 Support provided by Area Accountant
02/12/04 3
II. Overview & Objectives
 Overview
 Purchase of goods for consumption or sale
may represent inventory
 If you have an inventory
 Have to maintain records
 Perform annual count and reporting
02/12/04 4
Overview & Objectives
 Objectives
 Allow for proper assignment of costs to an
accounting period
 Show expense in period consumed or when
sold and generated revenue
 Present accurate value on our balance
sheet
 Comply with State Controller requirements
02/12/04 5
III. Definition
 Per State Controller Fiscal Procedures
Manual 3.14
 All agencies should record on their balance
sheet at June 30 significant supplies or
other consumable inventories. Significant
for this purpose is defined as inventories
totaling $100,000 or more per location
02/12/04 6
Definition
 CU policy uses a threshold of $35,000
 The State Controller threshold prior to his change
to $100,000
 CU applies the same threshold to inventories for
sale – Bookstore
 Inventories less than $35,000 should be expensed
when bought
 Cost-of-goods sold if sold internally or externally
 Other category if consumed
02/12/04 7
Definition
 Location is defined as physical location for
type of inventory by department
 Have to use judgment
 Housing food supplies at warehouse and in
cafeterias
 Facilities management different inventory by
shop
 Paint, Carpentry, Roofing, Stores, Sheet metal
02/12/04 8
Definition Examples
 UMC
 Food Service
 Games Area
 Wardenburg
 Bookstore
 Facilities
Management
 Chemistry Store
 Imaging Services
 Mailing Services
 Postage
 Housing
 Cogeneration
02/12/04 9
IV. Internal Controls
 Goal is to safeguard the inventory
 It doesn’t walk away or is destroyed
 Design your departmental inventory
procedures
 Document them in writing
 Identify procedures, controls and who has what
responsibility
 Keep current
 Train everybody involved
02/12/04 10
Internal Controls
 Separation of duties between
 People who have physical access to
inventory
 Receiving, distributing, selling
 People who do the accounting
 Ordering, booking and adjusting PS for sales or
usage
02/12/04 11
Internal Controls
 Provides checks and balances for each
other
 PS value should always reflect actual value of
inventory on hand
 Not able to walk away with inventory and
cover up by adjusting the PS book value
02/12/04 12
Internal Controls
 Establish a system to record in PS all
 Acquisitions, sales, returns and adjustments
 Physical security – record all movements
 Ensure the inventory is physically controlled and
secure
 Warehouse and sales floor
 Limit access to the inventory
 Not able to remove inventory without it being recorded
02/12/04 13
Internal Controls
 Conduct a periodic count and costing of the
inventory
 Required at year-end
 More often as needed is recommended
 Compare value of inventory on hand with PS value
 Major differences must be investigated and resolved
 Could indicate lack of control and theft is occurring
02/12/04 14
V. Establishing & Maintaining
Inventory
 Record all purchases in PS
 Balance sheet accounts 030000 – 049999
 03xxxx – Inventories – Sales External to
University
 04xxxx – Inventories – Internal
Sales/Consumed
 User option of each range has to be
consistent with lead account
02/12/04 15
Establishing & Maintaining
Inventory
 Inventory value changes daily with
purchases, sales, returns and
adjustments
 Increased by purchases and returns from
customers
 Decreased by sales, return to vendor, loss,
theft, disposal due to obsolescence
 Increased or decreased by adjustment of
physical count to book value
02/12/04 16
Establishing & Maintaining
Inventory
 Balance sheet transaction report shows
the inventory value and all transactions
adjusting it
 Summary of Budget, Revenue,
Expenses and Transfers shows the
inventory as an expense upon sale
(cost-of-goods sold) or consumption
(some kind of supplies category)
02/12/04 17
Establishing & Maintaining
Inventory
 System must keep track of
 Each category of items
 Count that should be on hand
 Value of count that should be on hand
 Use sophisticated inventory software
packages, or card file, or excel spreadsheets
 Depends on size and complexity of inventory
02/12/04 18
Simple Example
 Custodian shop purchases 40 cans of
floor wax at $6.00/can and pays $4.00
in freight ($.10 per can). Total cost is
$244. Per can value is $6.10.
 Dr Inventory 040000 $244.00
 Cr cash via AP system ($244.00)
02/12/04 19
Simple Example
 Department uses 4 cans of wax.
Prepare JE to move inventory to
expense
 Dr 515109 Bldg maint & repair $24.40
 Cr inventory 040000 ($24.40)
 PS inventory will now show a value of
$219.60, 36 cans @ $6.10
02/12/04 20
Simple Example
 Custodian shop sells 10 cans of wax to ABS at
$7.00 per can. Use an IN transaction to
record the sale
 Dr ABS ID expense account $70.00
 Cr Custodian shop ID revenue ($70.00)
 Dr Custodian shop CGS 450200 $61.00
 Cr inventory 040000 ($61.00)
 PS inventory will now show a value of
$158.60, 26 cans @ $6.10
02/12/04 21
Simple Example
 Physical inventory shows only 24 cans on
hand. Prepare JE to record loss of 2 cans
 Dr Physical inventory
adjustment 450300 $12.20
 Cr inventory 040000 ($12.20)
 PS inventory will now show a value of
$146.40, 24 cans @ $6.10
 Figure out what happened to the two cans
02/12/04 22
VI. Valuing the Inventory
 Valuing the inventory is choosing a method
by which you represent the value of the
inventory on hand on the balance sheet
 And subsequently charged to expense
 Three methods used by CU
 First in, first out – FIFO
 Average cost
 Retail
02/12/04 23
Valuing the Inventory
 Under each method, department must
maintain records supporting:
 Purchases and their cost
 Items sold
 Items returned
 Items adjusted
 Allows auditors to verify the accuracy of
your valuation
02/12/04 24
FIFO
 Assumes inventory is sold or used in
same order purchased – the first
inventory purchased is the first
inventory sold
 Items in inventory then are the most
recently purchased
 Keeps track of each item of inventory
by its actual cost
02/12/04 25
FIFO
 Custodian shop purchases 40 cans of
floor wax at $6.00/can and pays $4.00
in freight ($.10 per can). Total cost is
$244. Per can value is $6.10.
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ 6.10 = $244.00
02/12/04 26
FIFO
 A few days later, 100 cans bought at
$5.50/can plus $10.00 freight
($.10/can)
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ $6.10 = $244.00
 1/20/04 purchase 100 @ $5.60 = $560.00
 Total 140 = $804.00
02/12/04 27
FIFO
 A few days later sell 120 cans @
$7.00/can
 Record the revenue and CGS as shown
earlier
 CGS is:
 40 @ $6.10 = $244.00
 80 @ $5.60 = $448.00
 Total = $692.00
02/12/04 28
FIFO
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ $6.10 = $244.00
 1/23/04 sell 120 (40) @ $6.10 = ($244.00)
 1/20/04 purchase 100 @ $5.60 = $560.00
 1/23/04 sell 120 (80) @ $5.60 = ($448.00)
 Total 20 @ $5.60 = $112.00
02/12/04 29
FIFO
 If the physical inventory counts 20
items, valued at $5.60 then actual value
on hand equals book value
 No adjustment to book needed
 If count is different than 20, adjust at
$5.60/can
02/12/04 30
Average Cost
 For each purchase of inventory, you
calculate a new average cost for all
items in inventory
 The formula is:
Dollars on hand + purchases
----------------------------------- = New cost per unit
Count on hand + purchases
02/12/04 31
Average Cost
 Custodian shop purchases 40 cans of
floor wax @ $6.00/can and pays $4.00
in freight ($.10 per can). Total cost is
$244. Per can value is $6.10.
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ 6.10 = $244.00
02/12/04 32
Average Cost
 A few days later, 100 cans bought at
$5.50/can plus $10.00 freight
($.10/can), total cost $560.00
 Floor wax inventory record
$244 + $560 $804
--------------- = ------- = 140 cans @ $5.7429
40 + 100 140
02/12/04 33
Average Cost
 A few days later sell 120 cans @ $7.00/can
 Record the revenue and CGS as shown earlier
 CGS is:
 120 @ $5.7429 = $689.15
 Compared to $692.00 under FIFO
 Inventory on hand is
 20 @ $5.7429 = $114.86
 Compared to $112.00 under FIFO
02/12/04 34
Average Cost
 If the physical inventory counts 20
items, valued at $5.74.29 then actual
value on hand equals book value
 No adjustment to book needed
 If count is different than 20, then adjust
at $5.7429/can
02/12/04 35
Retail
 This method calculates CGS based upon
a percentage of sales which is based
upon a consistent percentage markup
over cost
 Operating policy is to markup floor wax
by 20% over cost
02/12/04 36
Retail
 Custodian shop purchases 40 cans of
floor wax at $6.00/can and pays $4.00
in freight ($.10 per can). Total cost is
$244. Per can value is $6.10.
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ 6.10 = $244.00
02/12/04 37
Retail
 A few days later, 100 cans bought at
$5.50/can plus $10.00 freight
($.10/can)
 Floor wax inventory record
 1/15/04 purchase 40 @ $6.10 = $244.00
 1/20/04 purchase 100 @ $5.60 = $560.00
 Total 140 = $804.00
02/12/04 38
Retail
 A few days later sell 120 cans @ $7.00/can
 Record the revenue and CGS as shown earlier
 CGS is:
 Sales of $840 divided by markup 120% (1.2) =
$700.00
 Compared to $692.00 under FIFO
 Compared to $689.15 under Average
02/12/04 39
Retail
 Inventory on hand per records is
 $804 less CGS $700 = $104
 Compared to $112.00 under FIFO
 Compared to $114.86 under Average
 If the physical inventory counts 20 items,
 The retail price is 20 x $7.00 = $140.00
 Inventory on hand value is $140 divided by 1.2 =
$116.67
 Compared to $112.00 under FIFO
 Compared to $114.86 under Average
02/12/04 40
Retail
 A $12.67 write-up adjustment to books
needed
 Debit inventory 040000 $12.67
 Credit inventory adjustment 450300 ($12.67)
 Doesn’t work well when you have
fluctuating costs
 Control solely based on item count
 Can’t rely much on the dollars
02/12/04 41
VII. Year-End Physical
Inventory
 Good internal controls and State Fiscal
Procedures require that a physical
inventory count and valuation be
completed at least at year-end
 Good to do more often if possible
 Supports the balance sheet value
 Should be completed between April 1
and June 30
02/12/04 42
Year-End Physical Inventory
 ABS distributes information in early May
 Announcing time to do annual inventory
 Provide instructions and worksheets
 Available to answer questions
