Ownership of Inventory • Goods in transit • FOB destination • Seller owns goods during delivery and pays for delivery • FOB shipping point • Seller owns goods during delivery and pays for delivery • Consignment • Retailer tries to sell goods for fee but doesn’t take ownership of goods • Antique stores
Inventory Costing • Specific identification • FIFO • LIFO • Average cost
Specific Identification • Used for high cost items • Combines, cars, jewelry • Retailer knows the exact cost of each item it sells
FIFO • First in, first out • Ending inventory is most recent purchases • In times of rising prices • Higher inventory value • Lower COGS and higher net income (EPS) • But also higher income taxes • If prices fall, lower net income and inventory
LIFO • Last in, first out • Ending inventory is most oldest purchases • In times of rising prices • Lower inventory value • Higher COGS and lower net income (EPS) • Lower income taxes
LIFO • If prices fall, • Higher net income and more income taxes • Oldest inventory never sold • Caterpillar • LIFO inventory $2,842; FIFO inventory $4,820 • Large difference due to use of LIFO for over 50 years
LIFO • If use LIFO on tax return, must use LIFO in financial statements • But can disclose LIFO reserve in footnotes to financial statements which tells how much inventory would be using FIFO • LIFO inventory $2,842 • LIFO reserve $1,978 • FIFO inventory $4,820 • Annual increase in LIFO reserve is the amount Net Income decreased that year due to use of LIFO • If reduce quantity of inventory • Possible large net income as selling inventory with very “old” costs
Average Cost • Weighted average, not average cost • Average = Total cost / total units
Inventory errors • Understating ending inventory • Increases COGS • Understates net income • Understating beginning inventory • Decreases COGS • Overstates net income • Over two years, would offset if second year ending inventory correct
