May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Control of Inventory  Two primary objectives of control over inventory are: 1.Safeguarding the inventory from damage or theft. 2.Reporting inventory in the financial statements. LO 1

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Safeguarding Inventory  The purchase order authorizes the purchase of the inventory from an approved vendor. LO 1

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Safeguarding Inventory  Recording inventory using a perpetual inventory system is also an effective means of control. The amount of inventory is always available in the subsidiary inventory ledger.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use.  Controls for safeguarding inventory should include security measures to prevent damage and customer or employee theft. Some examples of security measures include the following : Safeguarding Inventory  Storing inventory in areas that are restricted to only authorized employees.  Locking high-priced inventory in cabinets.  Using two-way mirrors, cameras, security tags, and guards.

Average Cost Method  When the average cost method is used in a perpetual system, an average unit cost for each item is computed each time a purchase is made.  This unit cost is then used to determine the cost of each sale until another purchase is made and a new average is computed. This averaging technique is called a moving average. LO 3

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. First-In, First-Out Method  Using FIFO, the earliest batch purchased is considered the first batch of merchandise sold. The physical flow does not have to match the accounting method chosen. This time we will be examining the periodic inventory system. LO 4

© 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. The physical count on January 31 shows that 150 units are on hand. (Conclusion: 130 units were sold.) What is the cost of the ending inventory? LO 4 First-In, First-Out Method

© 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Now we can calculate the cost of merchandise sold as follows: LO 4 First-In, First-Out Method

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use. Last-In, First-Out Method  Using LIFO, the most recent batch purchased is considered the first batch of merchandise sold. The actual flow of goods does not have to be LIFO.  For example, a store selling fresh fish would want to sell the oldest fish first (which is FIFO), even though LIFO is used for accounting purposes.

LO 6 Reporting Merchandise Inventory  Cost is the primary basis for valuing and reporting inventories in the financial statements. However, inventory may be valued at other than cost in the following cases:  The cost of replacing items in inventory is below the recorded cost.  The inventory cannot be sold at normal prices due to imperfections, style changes, or other causes.
