Chapter 8: Valuation of
Inventories: A Cost Basis
Approach
Inventory consists of:
1. Finished goods held for sale in the
ordinary course of business.
2. Goods held or consumed in the
production of finished goods.
Inventory Classification
Merchandising Operations
Cost of goods
sold
$$$
Merchandise
Inventory
Purchases C/G/Sold
Inventory Cost Flows
Flow of Costs through
Manufacturing and Merchandising
Companies
Inventory control is important for:
1. Ensuring availability of inventory items
2. Preventing excessive accumulation of inventory
items
The perpetual system maintains a
continuous record of inventory changes
The periodic system updates inventory
records only periodically
Inventory Control
• Purchases are debited
to Inventory account
• Freight-in, Purch. R & A
and Purch. Disc. are
recorded in Inventory
account.
• Debit COGS and credit
Inventory account for
each sale.
• Purchases are debited
to Purchases account.
• Freight-in, Purch. R & A
and Purch. Disc. are
recorded in their
respective accounts.
• COGS is computed only
periodically:
COGAS
- Ending Inventory
COGS
Perpetual Method Periodic Method
Inventory Systems
Legal title to goods typically determines
inclusion.
The following goods are included in “seller’s”
inventory:
1. Goods in transit (FOB Destination)
2. Goods on consignment with consignee
3. Goods, sold under buy back agreements
4. Goods, sold with high rates of return
5. Installment sales (if bad debts can not be estimated)
Items to be Included in Inventory
Guidelines for Determining
Ownership
Error in Effect on Effect on
Ending Income Balance sheet
Inventory Items Items
Under- COGS (over) Inventory (under)
stated Net income (under) Retained Earn (under)
Over- C/G/sold (under) Inventory (over)
stated Net income (over) Retained Earn (over)
Effect of Inventory Errors
Generally accounted for on a cost
basis.
• Product costs are “inventoriable”
costs, whereas
• Period costs are not inventoriable
costs
Costs Included in Inventory
The objective is to most clearly reflect
periodic income.
Cost flow assumptions need not be
consistent with physical flow of goods.
The cost flow assumptions are:
1 Specific identification
2 Average cost
3 First-in, first-out (FIFO) and
4 Last-in, first-out (LIFO)
Cost Flow Assumptions
Susieworld reports the following transactions for
2004:
Date Purchases Purchase Cost
May 12 100 units $1,000
Aug 14 200 units 2,200
Sep 18 120 units 1,800
420 units $5,000
On December 31, the company had 20 units on hand
and uses the periodic inventory system.
What are the cost of goods sold and the cost of
ending inventory?
Cost Flow Assumptions: Example
Given Data:
Date Purchases Cost
May 12 100 units $1,000
Aug 14 200 units $2,200
Sep 18 120 units $1,800
420 units $5,000
Steps:
1. Calculate per unit average cost: $5,000/420 = $11.905
2. Apply this per unit average cost to units sold to get COGS:
400 x $11.905 = $4,762
3. Apply the per unit average cost to units remaining in
inventory to determine Ending inventory: 20 x $11.91 = $238
Average (Weighted) Method
Given data:
Date Purchases Cost
May 12 100 units @ $10 $1,000
Aug 14 200 units @ $11 $2,200
Sep 18 120 units @ $15 $1,800
420 $5,000
Cost of goods sold $4,700
20 * $15 = $300
Ending inventory
$5,000
Cost of goods
available
Cost of goods sold (FIFO)
$1,000 (100 sold)
$2,200 (200 sold)
$1,500 (100 sold; 20 end inv)
$4,700
First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method
Cost of goods sold $4,800
20 * $10 = $200
Ending inventory
$5,000
Cost of goods
available
Cost of goods sold (LIFO)
$ 800 (80 sold; 20, end inv)
$2,200 (200 sold)
$1,800 (120 sold)
$4,800
Given data:
Date Purchases Cost
May 12 100 units @ $10 $1,000
Aug 14 200 units @ $11 $2,200
Sep 18 120 units @ $15 $1,800
420 $5,000
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Method
• The ending inventory in units is the same in
all three methods: the cost is different.
• The cost of goods sold and the cost of
ending inventory are different, but
• The cost of goods available is the same in
all three methods.
• LIFO would result in the smallest reported
net income (with rising prices).
Cost Flow Assumptions: Notes
LIFO Reserve (Allowance) account is
used, when:
LIFO is used for external reporting and a
non-LIFO basis is used for internal
reporting.
An Allowance to Reduce Inventory to
LIFO is used to reduce the cost to a
LIFO basis.
LIFO Reserve
Jeppo Inc reports the following balances:
Inventory (FIFO basis) on Dec 31, 2004: $50,000
Inventory (LIFO basis) on Dec 31, 2004: $20,000
Adjust the cost of ending inventory to the LIFO basis
Cost of goods sold Dr. $30,000
Allowance to Reduce Inventory
to LIFO Cr. $30,000
Balance Sheet (Assets):
Inventory (FIFO) $50,000
less: Allowance to Reduce Inventory ($30,000)
Inventory (LIFO) basis $20,000
LIFO Reserve: Example
Under the LIFO approach, a business
may build up layers of inventory from
prior periods.
A layer liquidation occurs, when:
• Earlier costs are matched against current
sales.
• Such matching results in distorted income.
LIFO Layers
Use the specific goods pooled LIFO
approach: a pool is a combination of
similar items.
• reductions in one item, compensated
by increases in other items.
Use dollar-value LIFO where:
• changes in pools are determined in
terms of dollars, not quantities.
Methods to Alleviate Layer
Liquidation Problems
Given:
Base layer (Dec 31, 2003): $20,000
Inventory (current prices)
on Dec 31, 2004: $26,400
Prices increased 20% during 2004.
Determine dollar value LIFO at Dec 31,
2004
Dollar Value LIFO: Example
Dec 31, 2003 Dec 31, 200
Price increase, 20%
At EOY prices:
$26,400
$26,400 / 1.20
At base $:
$22,000
Net increase
at base $:
$22,000 less
$20,000
Restate at
current $:
$2,400
(layer added)
$2,000 * 1.20
$20,000
plus
$2,400 =
$22,400
Dollar value
LIFO Inventory
Dollar Value LIFO: Example
When the ending inventory (at base year
prices) is less than the beginning inventory
(at base year prices):
• the decrease must be subtracted from the
most recently added layer.
• Once a layer is eliminated (peeled off), it
cannot be rebuilt.
Dollar Value LIFO: Notes
• LIFO matches more recent costs with
current revenues.
• With increasing prices, LIFO yields the
lowest taxable income (assuming inventory
does not decrease).
• With reduced taxes, cash flow is improved.
• Under LIFO, the need to write down
inventory to market is lower.
Advantages of LIFO Method
• LIFO does not approximate the physical flow
of goods except in special situations.
• LIFO yields the lowest net income and
therefore reduced earnings (when prices rise).
• Under LIFO, the ending inventory is
understated relative to current costs.
• LIFO involuntary liquidation may result in
income that is detrimental from a tax view.
• LIFO may cause poor buying habits (because of
the layer liquidation problem).
Disadvantages of LIFO Method
