ACCOUNTING FORINVENTORIES
DEFINITION OF INVENTORIES(AS-2)
Inventories are assets held:1. For sale in the ordinary course of business2. In the process of production for such sale3. In the form of materials or supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services
Types of InventoryInventory comes in many
shapes and sizes such as:◦ Raw materials – purchased
items or extracted materials transformed into components or products
◦ Components – parts or subassemblies used in final product
◦ Work-in-process – items in process throughout the plant
◦ Finished goods – products sold to customers
◦ Distribution inventory – finished goods in the distribution system
Accounting Principles Related to Inventory
ConsistencyCompanies should use same inventory
method from period to period Disclosure
Companies should disclose inventory method used
ConservatismCompanies should “write down” inventory if
market price falls below cost
COST OF INVENTORYAll expenditures incurred to
bring the item to its existing condition and
location
Net cost of purchasesPurchase price
+ Freight-in
- Purchase returns
- Purchase Discounts
= Net cost of purchases
- Purchase allowances
Transportation costs
Unsuitable goodsreturned to seller
Reduction in amount owed
For early payment

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR INVENTORY PURCHASES, SALES AND REPORTING?
Applying either the periodic inventory system or the perpetual inventory system and select a cost flow assumption to determine the value of inventories.
Both inventory systems require a physical count of inventory at the end of a period to determine the units which can be included in the inventory count.
Inventory Systems - Periodic
Compute inventory balance at end of each accounting period
Compute cost of goods sold at the end of accounting period
Inventory Systems - Perpetual
Compute cost of goods sold at each sale
Compute new inventory balance at each sale
Perpetual vs. Periodic Inventory System
Perpetual system Periodic System At purchase Inventory xxx Purchases xxxA/P xxx A/P xxx
At sale: CGS xxx None Inventory xxxA/R xxx A/R xxxSales xxx Sales xxx

Cost Flow Assumptions
Only with specific identification do we attempt to match the actual movement of product through the business with the movement of costs through the accounting system
With other inventory cost methods, we make an assumption of the movement of costs through the accounting system.
Cost Flow Assumptions(Contd.)
This "flow" of costs through the system need not match the movement of product through the business

First-in, First-out (FIFO) Method
Step 1: Assign the cost of the beginning inventory to cost of goods sold.

assign the total number of units sold during the period to cost of goods sold. Allocate the remaining costs to ending inventory.

Weighted Average Method
Step 1: Calculate the cost of goods available for sale.
Weighted Average Method
Date purchased Units Cost Total cost Beg. inventory 500 $10 $ 5,000 1/20 300 11 3,300 4/8 400 12 4,800 9/5 200 13 2,600 12/12 100 14 1,400 Cost of goods available for sale 1,500 $17,100
Weighted Average Method
Step 2: Divide the cost of goods availablefor sale by the total units todetermine the weighted averagecost per unit.
Weighted Average Method
Cost of Goods Available for SaleUnits Available for Sale
$17,100 1,500 = $11.40/unit
Weighted Average Method
Step 3: Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold by multiplying the weighted average cost per unit by the number of units in ending inventory and the number of units sold.
