Why is Inventory Control Important? Inventory is a significant asset and for many companies the largest asset. Inventory is central to the main activity of merchandising and manufacturing companies. Mistakes in determining inventory cost can cause critical errors in financial statements. Inventory must be protected from external risks ( such as fire and theft) and internal fraud by employees.

Merchandising and Inventory Merchandising involves selling inventory. Inventory is usually an important asset. Inventory must be accounted for periodically or perpetually. Traditional periodic method is often being replaced by perpetual inventory accounting.

Advantages of Using Perpetual Inventory Continuous determination of inventory value Continuous determination of gross profit Affordable with computers, scanners, and bar codes on most products Perpetual inventory accounting provides management controls. Managers know which items are selling fastest and the profit margin on those items.

Retail Method of Estimating Inventory Cost Retail method is based on relationship between cost of merchandise available for sale and the retail price. Retail prices of all merchandise must be accumulated. Inventory at retail is calculated as retail price of merchandise available for sale less sales. Ratio is calculated as cost divided by retail price. Inventory at retail price times cost ratio equals estimated cost of inventory.

Retail Inventory Method Calculation Cost Retail Merchandise inventory, January 1 $19,400 $36,000 Purchases in January (net) 42,600 64,000 Merchandise available for sale Ratio of cost to retail price: Sales for January (net) 70,000 Merchandise inventory, January 31, at retail Merchandise inventory, January 31, at est. cost $62,000 $100,000 ($62,000 / $100,000 = 62%) $30,000 ($30,000 x 62%) $18,600

Gross Profit Method of Estimating Inventory Cost 1. A gross profit percentage rate is estimated based on previous experience adjusted for known changes. 2. Estimated gross profit is calculated by multiplying the estimated gross profit rate times the actual net sales. 3. Estimated cost of merchandise sold is calculated by subtracting the gross profit from actual sales. 4. The cost of merchandise sold estimate is deducted from actual merchandise available for sale to determine the estimated cost of merchandise inventory.

Gross Profit Method Calculation Merchandise inventory, January 1 $ 57,000 Purchases in January (net) 180,000 Merchandise available for sale Sales in January (net) $250,000 Less: Estimated gross profit Estimated cost of merchandise sold Estimated merchandise inventory, January 31 $237,000 ($250,000 x 30%) 75,000 175,000 $ 62,000 Many firms generate a surprisingly stable and predictable gross profit as a percentage of sales.
