May be in the form of raw materials, partially finished goods, or goods available for sale. merchandise inventory Goods purchased by wholesalers and retailers for resale.

7e Inventory Systems 5 ©2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. periodic inventory system Inventory system in which merchandise is physically counted at least once a year to determine the value of the goods available for sale. perpetual inventory system Inventory system in which goods available for sale are updated on a continuous basis by computer. Purchases by the company are added to inventory, whereas sales to customers are subtracted from inventory.

7e Inventory Systems 6 ©2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. continued book inventory Is the balance of a perpetual inventory system at any given time. Must be confirmed with an actual physical count at least once a year. specific identification method Is a valuation method in which each item in inventory is matched or coded with its actual cost. Is feasible only for low-volume merchandise flow such as automobiles, boats, or other expensive items.

7e Methods for Pricing Inventory 7 ©2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. first-in, first-out (FIFO) method Assumes the items purchased by a company first are the first items to be sold. Items remaining in ending inventory at the end of an accounting period are therefore considered as if they were the most recently purchased. last-in, first-out (LIFO) method Assumes the items purchased by a company last are the first items to be sold. Items remaining in ending inventory at the end of an accounting period are therefore considered as if they were the oldest goods. average cost, or weighted average, method Assumes the cost of each unit of inventory is the average cost of all goods available for sale during that accounting period.

7e STEPS 8 STEP 1 List the number of units on hand at the end of the year and their corresponding costs starting with the ending balance and working backward through the incoming shipments. STEP 2 Multiply the number of units by the corresponding cost per unit for each purchase. STEP 3 Calculate the value of ending inventory by totaling the extensions from Step 2.

7e STEPS 15 STEP 1 Calculate the average cost per unit by using the following formula. Average cost per unit = STEP 2 Calculate the value of ending inventory by multiplying the number of units in ending inventory by the average cost per unit.

7e STEPS 17 STEP 1 Calculate the cost for each item in the inventory by using one of the acceptable methods: FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average. STEP 2 Determine the market price or current replacement cost for each item. STEP 3 For each item, select the basis for valuation, cost or market, by choosing the lower figure. STEP 4 Calculate the total amount for each inventory item by multiplying the number of items by the valuation price chosen in Step 3. STEP 5 Calculate the total value of the inventory by adding all the figures in the Amount column.

Used in the retail method of inventory estimation to represent the cost of each dollar of retail sales.

7e STEPS 20 STEP 1 List beginning inventory and purchases at both cost and retail. STEP 2 Add purchases to beginning inventory to determine goods available for sale at both cost and retail.

Cost ratio = STEP 4 Subtract net sales from goods available for sale at retail to get ending inventory at retail. Goods available for sale at retail –Net sales Ending inventory at retail STEP 5 Convert ending inventory at retail to ending inventory at cost by multiplying the ending inventory at retail by the cost ratio.

7e Inventory Estimation: Gross Profit Method 23 ©2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. gross profit or gross margin method Uses a company’s gross margin percent to estimate the ending inventory. This method assumes that a company maintains approximately the same gross margin from year to year.

7e STEPS 24 STEP 1 Calculate the goods available for sale. Beginning inventory +Net Purchases Goods available for sale STEP 2 Find the estimated cost of goods sold by multiplying net sales by the cost of goods sold percent (complement of gross margin percent). Estimated cost of goods sold = Net sales(100% – Gross margin %) STEP 3 Calculate the estimate of ending inventory by subtracting the estimated cost of goods sold from the goods available for sale.

7e Gross Profit Method Example 25 ©2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. A firm maintains a gross margin of 41% on all its inventory. In November, the company had a beginning inventory of $149,000, net purchases of $242,000, and net sales of $425,000. Use the gross profit method to estimate the cost of ending inventory in November. Beginning inventory 149,000 Net Purchases+242,000 Goods available for sale Estimated cost of goods sold = Net sales × (100% - Gross margin %)= Goods available for sale 391,000 Estimated cost of goods sold-250, , ,000 (100% - 41%) =425,000 (.59) = $250,750 Estimated ending inventory 140,250
