Chapter 6 Determining Inventory
Terms • Consigned Goods • Consistency Principle • Days in Inventory • Finished Goods • FIFO • FOB Destination • FOB Shipping Point • Inventory Turnover • JIT Inventory • LIFO • LCM • Raw Materials • Specific Identification • Weighted Average Unit Cost • Work in Process
Inventory • Determining Inventory • Physical Count • Who Owns It
Physical Count • Even with a system of recording purchases and sales at the point of the event, companies do a physical count at the end of their accounting period. • Stores close or take inventory at night • Companies often hire temporary workers to take inventory. • Think about how many items in Target or Meijer, each has to be counted or weighed
Who Owns It ?Goods in Transit • FOB Shipping Point • Ownership passes to buyer when it gets on the delivery vehicle, car, truck, bus, airplane, etc. • FOB Destination • Ownership passes to buyer when delivered and accepted by the buyer.
Consignment • Goods that an owner sells through a dealer • Ownership belongs to the seller
Inventory Costing • Four GAAP methods of costing inventory • Specific Identification • FIFO (First In First Out) • LIFO (Last In Last Out) • Average Cost
Three Areas of Concentration • What is available for sale • Beg inventory + Purchases • What was sold? • What is the cost of the goods sold using the one of the 4 inventory methods. • What is the value of the ending inventory? • Beg + Purchases – sold items.
Problem • ATA Warehouse • Jan 2 purchased 100 TV’s @$450 45,000 • Feb 2 purchased 100 TV’s @$475 47,500 • Mar 1 purchased 50 TV’s @$480 24,000 • Jun 5 purchased 75 TV’s @$495 37,125 Total Available: (325) 153, 625 • June 30 prepared semi-annual financial statements. They sold 250 TV’s. What is their ending inventory and what are the C of G?
Specific Identification We can track that 100 TV’s came from Jan 2 50 came from Feb 2 and 50 came from Mar 1 and 50 came from Jun 5 So Cost of Goods are: 100 @ 450 45,000 50 @ 475 23,750 50 @ 480 24,000 50 @ 495 24,750 Total C of G 117,500 Ending Inventory (153,625-117,500) = $36,125
FIFOFIRST IN-FIRST OUT • Jan 1, 100 @ 450 $45,000 • Feb 2, 100 @475 47,500 • Mar 2, 50 @ 480 24,000 • COST OF GOODS SOLD $116,500 • ENDING INVENTORY (153,625-116,500) $37,125
LIFOLAST IN- LAST OUT • Jun 5, 75 @ $495 $37,125 • Mar 1, 50 @480 24,000 • Feb 2, 100 @475 47,500 • Jan 2, 25 @450 11,250 • COST OF GOODS SOLD $119,875 • ENDING INVENTORY (153,62 -119,875) $ 33,750
AVERAGE • $153,625/325 = $472.69 EACH • C OF G.S. 250 @472.69 = $118,172.50 • ENDING INVENTORY 153625-118,172.50=$35,452.50* • *NEED TO ROUND TO MAKE AMOUNT EVEN
ANOTHER METHODLCM • For goods that have high fluctuations in price, IRS allows the Lower of Cost or Market to determine inventory costs: • Example: Our flat screen TV’s have dropped in price over the last three 3 months therefore we can take lower of cost of market • Our Cost was $153,625 • The Market price has dropped 10%
Financial AnalysisInventory Turnover • Stakeholders want to know how much inventory is left in the warehouse which may mean the company is either purchasing two much or their sales are down. • Formula is: • Cost of Goods Sold/Beg Inventory+End Inv (2)
Your Problem • Walmart reported in its 2008 annual report a beginning inventory of $33,685 million, and ending inventory of $35,180 million, and cost of goods sold for the year ended January 31 of $286,515 million. What is their inventory turnover ratio?
