Chapter 15 Accounting for Merchandise Inventory © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

2 Learning Objective 1 Understanding and journalizing transactions using the perpetual inventory system and explaining the difference between perpetual and periodic inventory systems LO-1 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

3 Perpetual Inventory System
Two key accounts Merchandise Inventory Asset Current balance of Inventory at all times Entries are recorded for each purchase and each sale of Inventory Cost of Goods Sold Cumulative total cost of all merchandise sold to customers during accounting period Both accounts provide current info to mgmt LO-1 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

4 Perpetual vs. Periodic System
Perpetual system Value of Inventory is known after every purchase & sale Cost of goods sold is known after every sale Purchases, purchase returns & allowances, and freight accounts don’t exist Periodic system Does not give accurate info about Merchandise Inventory or C.O.G.S. until ending Inventory is done LO-1 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

5 Perpetual Inventory System
We will use Problem 15B-1 to illustrate the journal entries involved with the perpetual inventory system. Transactions for March: 15-Purchased merchandise on acct. totaling $1,800, terms n/30. 16- Sold merchandise costing $71 on acct. for $92 to B. Hackett Returned $120 of defective merchandise purchased Mar. 15. 19- Sold $230 of merchandise for cash. It costs $175. 19- Allowed merchandise sold on Mar. 16 return for credit -$14. It costs $11. 20- Bought $900 merchandise on acct. from JT Supply; terms n/30. 22- Received pmt from B. Hackett for Mar. 16 sale less return. 23- Sold $410 of merchandise costing $320 for cash.

LO-2 © 2010Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

11 Inventory Subsidiary Ledger
A business with a variety of products in Inventory will use Inventory subsidiary ledger Maintain an individual record for each different product Companies like Wal-Mart and Target use this ledger LO-2 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

15 Learning Objective 3 Understanding periodic methods of determining the value of the ending inventory LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

16 Inventory Valuation Methods-Periodic Inventory System
Specific Invoice First In, First Out (FIFO) Last In, First Out (LIFO) Weighted Average LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

17 Inventory Valuation Methods-Periodic Inventory System
Method used will have effect on Ending Inventory Cost of goods sold Gross profit LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

18 Specific Invoice Method
Identify each item in ending Inventory by a specific purchase price and invoice number Also known as specific identification method Would be used with cars, boats, and antiques. LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

19 Specific Invoice Method
Pros Simple if small amounts of high-cost goods Flow of goods and flow of cost are same Costs are exactly matched with Sales Cons Difficult if large unit volume and small unit prices © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

20 First In, First Out Method
Assume that the oldest goods are sold first Ending Inventory valued at costs shown on most recent invoices Refer to Problem 15B-4 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

21 First In, First Out Method
At end of year, 400 units unsold LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

22 First In, First Out Method
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $43,800 Less Cost of Ending Inventory 22,000 Cost of Goods Sold $21,800 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

23 First In, First Out Method
Pros Cost flow tends to follow physical flow Ending Inventory valuation is made up of current costs on balance sheet Cons During inflationary periods, FIFO produces higher net income, thus more taxes to be paid Recent costs are not matched with recent Sales LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

24 Last In, First Out Method
Assume that the goods most recently acquired are sold first Ending Inventory valued at earliest invoice costs Refer again to Problem 15B-4 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

25 Last In, First Out Method
At end of year, 400 units unsold LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

26 Last In, First Out Method
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $43,800 Less Cost of Ending Inventory 11,300 Cost of Goods Sold $32,500 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

27 Last In, First Out Method
Pros Cost of goods sold is near current costs Matches current costs with current selling price During inflationary periods, LIFO produces lowest net income, a tax advantage Cons Ending Inventory is valued at old prices Does not match physical flow of goods LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

28 Weighted-Average Method
Average unit cost = Total cost of goods available for sale Total units of goods available for sale Usually falls between FIFO & LIFO amounts LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

29 Weighted-Average Method
Average Unit Cost = $43,800 / 1,010 = $43.37 Ending Inventory = 400 units x $43.37 = $17,348 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

30 Weighted-Average Method
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $43,800 Less Cost of Ending Inventory 17,348 Cost of Goods Sold $26,452 LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

31 Weighted Average Method
Cons Current prices have no more significance than older prices Most recent costs are not matched with current Sales Cost of ending Inventory is not most recent costs Pros Good for products sold in large volume An equal unit cost is assigned to each unit in Inventory LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

32 When Can An Inventory Method Be Changed?
Consistency Principle – requires companies to follow the same accounting methods or procedures from period to period Full Disclosure Principle – requires companies to disclose on their financial reports changes in accounting procedures and methods along with effect of the change as well as justification for change LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

33 Items That Should be Included in the Cost of Inventory
Goods in Transit F.O.B. shipping point – buyer becomes owner when merchandise is placed on carrier at shipping point F.O.B. destination – seller maintains ownership until merchandise reaches the destination LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

34 Items That Should Not be Included in the Cost of Inventory
Merchandise on consignment - merchandise sold through agent (consignee) who does not own it, but has possession Damaged or obsolete merchandise - if not saleable, should not be added to cost of Inventory. If saleable at lower cost, value should be conservatively estimated & added to Inventory LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

35 Items That Should be Included in the Cost of Inventory
Goods in Transit - When inventory is taken, add only if ownership of inventory has been transferred to buyer. Only use with F.O.B. - shipping point Damaged or Obsolete Merchandise - only if saleable, estimate value at conservative cost. LO-3 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater

44 Gross Profit Method Helps prepare financial statements Must know
Average gross profit rate Net Sales, beginning Inventory, net purchases LO-4 © 2010 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, College Accounting: A Practical Approach, 11e by Slater
