Introduction
Objective 1
Objective 1
Definition of Inventories
Goods/merchandise (assets) that are awaiting for sale as part of the principal activity of the firm
(Note: Firms also sell off assets that are not inventory)
Two types of inventories
Merchandising firms
Purchased goods for resale
Manufacturing firms
Goods manufactured from scratch within the fir m for original sale
Manufacturer’s Inventory = 3 components 1. Raw Materials
2. Works in Process 3. Finished Goods
• Show all 3 on the Statement of Financial Position
Merchandiser’s Inventory = 1 component
1. Inventory

Objective 2 Objective 2
Determining the
Ownership of Goods
When the terms are FOB (free on board) shipping point ( 선적지인도 조건 ), the ownership of the goods passes to the buyer when the pub- lic carrier accepts the goods from the seller. Thus, the buyer bears and incurs transportation-in ( 매입운임 ). Included in the transporta- tion-in are freight-in and insurance expense.
When the terms are FOB destination ( 도착지인도조건 ), the owner- ship of the good remains with the seller until the goods reach the buyer. As such, the seller incurs transportation-out ( 판매운임 ).

Perpetual and Periodic
Inventory Systems
Perpetual vs Periodic Inventory Systems
Periodic method
Compute COGS and Ending Inventory once at the end of the accounting period
Perpetual method
Compute COGS and Ending Inventory after each sale
Timing of Inventory Computation s
Perpetual Inventory
Purchases are debited directly to ‘Inventory’ as items for resale are acquired.
Items sold are credited to ‘Inventory’ at their acquisiti on cost at the time of sale. Two journal entries are rec orded at the time of sale.
Dr. Accounts Receivable xxx
Cr. Sales xxx
Dr. Cost of Goods Sold xxx
Cr. Inventory xxx
Periodic Inventory Method
Acquisitions:
Charged to “Purchases” account Sales recognition
: Record sales but not COGS. Valuation:
Inventory is counted and valued only at the end of the accounting period Weakness:
On any given day during period: Clueless what ba lance is of inventory Advantage:
Less bookkeeping costs in the pre-computer era.Cost of Goods Sold
= Beginning Inventory
+ Net Purchases
- Ending Inventory

Inventory Data
Date/Type Units Cost per Unit Total Cost
Jan. 1 Inventory 150 $8 $1,200
Feb. 20 Purchases 200 9 1,800
Apr. 20 Purchases 250 10 2,500
Sept. 20 Purchases 200 11 2,200
Goods available for sale
800 $7,700
First-In First-Out Method
Under the FIFO method, merchandise on hand is considered to be that which was most recently received. Hence, year-end inventory of 430 un its is valued as follows :
Example 8-1
Last purchase(Sep. 20) 200 units @ $11= $2,200
Next most recent purchase(Apr. 20) 230 units @ $10 = 2,300
Total 430 $4,500
Last-In First-Out Method
Under the LIFO method, ending inventory is reflected at the costs of th e earliest purchases. Therefore, cost of goods sold is based upon the mo st recent costs. The year-end inventory is computed as follows :
Example 8-2
Beginning inventory(Jan. 1) 150 units @ $8= $1,200
First purchase (Feb. 20) 200 units @ $9= 1,800
Next purchase (Apr. 20) 80 units @ $10= 800
Total 430 $3,800
Simple vs. Weighted Average
Note: Inventory method is actually a ‘weighted’ average in that it t akes into account both quantity and cost.
Example: If purchases are 100 units @$10 and 10 units @ $2
Weighted Average
[(100x $10) + (10 x $2)] / 110 = $9.27
Weighted-Average Method
The average unit cost is computed as follows :
The value of the ending inventory is therefore : 430 units @ $9.625 = $4,139
The cost of goods sold is:
370 units @ $9.625 = $3,561
Example 8-3
Cost per unit = Cost of goods available
= $7,700
= $9.625 Units available 800
Cost of Goods Available for Sale
Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold, Cost of goods available for sale = Ending inventory + Cost of goods sold, or Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
Comparison of Inventory Valuation Method s
The tabulated results of the three methods reveal the following compar isons :
Example 8-4
FIFO LIFO WA
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $7,700 $7,700 $7,700 Less: Ending Inventory, Dec. 31 4,500 3,800 4,139
Cost of Goods Sold $3,200 $3,900 $3,561
Specific Identification Method
Assume that a reference to specific invoices for Poinsettia Company reveal s that items purchased on February 20, April 20 and September 20 are left unsold. Then, the ending inventory is calculated by individually identifying specific invoices.
Example 8-5
Purchase invoice #131 (Feb. 20) 180 units @ $9 = $1,620
Purchase invoice #145 (Apr. 20) 130 units @ $10 = 1,300
Purchase invoice #198 (Sep. 20) 120 units @ $11 = 1,320
Ending inventory 430 $4,240

Other Inventory Valuation Methods

Objective 5
Inventory Valuation at LCM
LCM (Lower of Cost or Market)
Lesser of Cost or “Market Value”
“Market( 시가 )” is defined as Net Realizable Value
( 순실현가능가치 )
Decreases in market value of inventory are recognized.
However, increases in market value of inventory are not recorded since this would violate the conservatism.
Application of LCM
There are 3 alternatives:
(1)
Individual Item basis,
(2)
Major Category Basis and
(3)Aggregate Basis.
Individual Item Basis ( 개별기준 ) is the principle.
Major Category Basis ( 조별기준 )is allowed if reason able.
However, Aggregate Basis ( 총계기준 ) is not allowed.

Z 400 11.00 12.00 4,400 4,800 4,400
Total $11,050 $11,500 $10,750
LCM requires the recording of a loss for decline in i nventory value:
Dr. Loss on Inventory Valuation 300
Cr. Inventory 300
Gross Profit Method ( 매출총이익법 )
Gross Profit Method (used if there is a fire or betw een accounting period ends)
GP% = (Sales – COGS) / Sales
For example, if selling price is $100 and cost is $70 the GP% is 30%
When Sales are known and Ending Inventory is un
known, Sales – (Sales x GP%) = COGS
Gross Profit Method
Assume that the beginning inventory is $15,000, net purchases are $90,000, and net sales are $200,000. The gross profit rate has been running 60 percent of net sales.
Since cost of goods available for sale less ending inventory is equal to cost of goods sold, the ending inventory must be $25,000. The proof is
Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold $105,000 - $25,000 = $80,000
Example 8-6
Income Statement(partial)
Net Sales $200,000
Less : Cost of Goods Sold
Beginning Inventory $15,000
Net Purchases 90,000
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $105,000
Less: Ending Inventory ?
Cost of Goods Sold (40%) 80,000
Gross Profit on Sales (60%×$200,000) $120,000
Retail Inventory Method ( 소매재고법 )
The retail inventory method utilizes the fact that “Units Sold
= Units of BI + Units of P – Units of EI” can be expressed in terms of both cost ( 원가 ) and retail price ( 소매가 ).
“COGS = BI @ cost + P@cost – EI@cost”
“Sales = BI@retail + P@retail - EI@retail”
ÞGoods Available for Sale - Sales = EI@retail Þ EI@retial x Ratio of Cost/Retail = EI@Cost
* Ratio of Cost/Retail = (BI @ cost + P@cost )/(BI@retail + P
@retail )
Estimated Ending Inventory at Cost
Beginning Inventory at Retail Price + Purchases at Retail Price - Sales
= Ending Inventory at Retail Price
Ending Inventory at Cost = Ending Inventory at Retail Price × Cost to Retail Ratio
Retail Inventory Method
Merchandise records for the month of December of a retail company show the following informati on.
Then, the ending merchandise inventory can be estimated as follows :
Example 8-7
Cost Retail Price
Merchandise Inventory, December 1 $45,000 $60,000
Purchases 50,000 68,000
Sales for December 100,000
Cost Retail Price
Merchandise Inventory, December 1 $45,000 $60,000
Purchases 50,000 68,000
Merchandise Available for Sale $95,000 $128,000
Sales for December 100,000
Merchandise Inventory, December 31, at retail $28,000
Merchandise Inventory, December 31, at cost $20,776*
Cost $95,000
* Ratio=―――=――――= 74.2%
Retail $128,000
$28,000×74.2%= $20,776
