Determining the cost of ending inventory for the balance sheet & COGS for the income statement Four Methods:

Specific unit-cost First-In, First-Out

bother to track individual units 11

Last-In, First-Out cost

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Useful when inventory items are specifically identifiable Think: unique items with unique costs: cars, bikes, planes, expensive art works, homes…… Not practical to track vast inventories of homogenous items by the specific item NOTE: This does not mean just a specific part number, this means a specific unit of that specific part number.

Fifo, Lifo, and average costs are just assumptions

 FIFO: First In First Out  Assumes the First item you bought is the First one you sell  Earlier purchase goes to Cost of Goods Sold  Later purchase stays in ending inventory Other examples?

US Steel uses LIFO to enjoy the tax savings.

How did LIFO contribute to workers’ successful strike?

Management was confident they could out last striking workers because they had months of inventory on hand.

6 weeks of non-replenished sales was releasing their old cost layers (aka lifo reserve) of “cheap” inventory onto the income statement.

Not replenishing these inventories before reporting would lead to high profits, taxes, failed negotiations, and a PR nightmare.

IFRS and US GAAP both require revaluation to lower of cost or market.

IFRS also allows restatement to cost in later periods. Conceivably, an IFRS reporting company could take a bath during a down year, then report artificially inflated profits in following years.

This is already a problem in US GAAP with several adjustment areas.

The accounting principles are the foundations that guide how we record transactions.

Inventory costing methods include specific unit-cost, FIFO, LIFO, and average cost. Specific unit identifies the specific cost of each unit of inventory that is in ending inventory and each item that is in cost of goods sold.

Under FIFO, the cost of goods sold is based on the oldest purchases. 75 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Under LIFO, the cost of goods sold is based on the newest purchases. Under the average-cost method, the business computes a new average cost per unit after each purchase. Keep in mind the cost paid to purchase goods is the same under all inventory costing methods. The difference is where we divide up the dollars between the asset, Inventory, and the expense, COGS, on the income statement.

76 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

The inventory costing method dictates which purchases are deemed sold (COGS). The sales price to the customer (Sales revenue) is the same regardless of which costing method is used to record COGS. Only the amounts in the COGS journal entries differ among the three costing methods.

If the cost of inventory is declining, an adjustment must be made to lower the Inventory account to the lower value (market). If market is greater than cost, no adjustment is made to the Inventory account.

77 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Because the total spent to acquire goods available for sale is allocated to only the Inventory or the COGS account, if Inventory is incorrectly stated due to an error, COGS is also incorrectly stated. When discovered, errors must be disclosed and corrected in the affected financial statements.

78 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

Account for periodic inventory using the three most common costing methods (Appendix 6A) Accounting is simpler in a periodic system because the company keeps no daily running record of inventory on hand. The only way to determine the ending inventory and cost of goods sold in a periodic system is to count the goods—usually at the end of the year.

79 Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.

The periodic system uses four additional accounts: 80 Purchases—this account holds the cost of inventory as it is purchased. Purchases carries a debit balance and is an expense account.

Purchase discounts—this contra account carries a credit balance. Discounts for early payment of purchases are recorded here.

Purchase returns and allowances—this contra account carries a credit balance. Items purchased but returned to the vendor are recorded in this account. Allowances granted by a vendor are also recorded in this account.
