9. Inventory – Cost Flow Perpetual vs. Periodic System 9

10. Purchases are debited to Inventory account Freight-in, Purchases Returns & Allowances and Purchase Discounts are recorded in the Inventory account. Debit COGS and credit Inventory account for each sale. Purchases are debited to Purchases account. Freight-in, Purch. R & A and Purch. Disc. are recorded in their respective accounts. COGS is computed only periodically: Cost of Goods Available – Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold Perpetual Method Periodic Method The perpetual inventory system provides a continuous record of Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold. Perpetual vs. Periodic System Ending Inventory is determined only by physical count at the end of the period. 10

13. Inventory Control – Physical Count All companies need periodic verification of the inventory records by actual count, weight, or measurement, with the counts compared with the detailed inventory records. Companies should take the physical inventory near the end of their fiscal year, to properly report inventory quantities in their annual accounting reports. Question 3 13

16. Cost flow assumptions DO NOT Need to be consistent with physical flow of goods. The objective is to most clearly reflect periodic income. The cost flow assumptions are: 1 Specific identification 2 Average cost 3 First-in, first-out (FIFO) and 4 Last-in, first-out (LIFO) (prohibited under IFRS) Cost Flow Assumptions 16

26. The ending inventory in units is the same in all three methods: the cost is different The cost of goods available is the same for all methods The cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory are different In periods of rising prices, LIFO would result in the smallest reported net income. Cost Flow Assumptions: Notes 26

27. 27 Periodic vs. Perpetual FIFO: COGS and EI numbers are exactly the same under either periodic or perpetual systems BUT – LIFO, Weighted Average will give you different numbers –Under perpetual LIFO, with each sale, you cut into only existing layers (so you must stop and calculate the cost of goods sold at each sale) –Under perpetual Weighted Average (more accurately, Moving Average), you stop and calculate a new average cost for every sale

30. LIFO matches more recent costs with current revenues. With increasing prices: – LIFO yields the lowest taxable income (assuming inventory does not decrease). –Under LIFO, there is less need to write down inventory down to market Advantages of LIFO Method 30

31. LIFO Reserve (Allowance) account is used, when: LIFO is used for tax & external financial reporting purposes FIFO, average cost, or standard cost system for internal reporting purposes. Reasons: Special Issues Related to LIFO: Setting up a LIFO Reserve 1. Pricing decisions 2. Record keeping easier 3. Profit-sharing or bonus arrangements 4. LIFO troublesome for interim periods SEC reporting requirements – disclose the difference between LIFO and current cost of inventory reported on the Balance Sheet which is the LIFO RESERVE 31

32. Jeppo Inc reports the following balances: Inventory (FIFO basis) on Dec 31, 2004:$50,000 Inventory (LIFO basis) on Dec 31, 2004:$20,000 Adjust the cost of ending inventory to the LIFO basis Dr. Cost of goods sold $30,000 Cr. Allowance to Reduce Inventory to LIFO$30,000 Balance Sheet (Assets): Inventory (FIFO) $50,000 less: Allowance to Reduce Inventory($30,000) Inventory (LIFO) basis $20,000 LIFO Reserve: Example 32

33. Under the LIFO approach, a business may build up layers of inventory from prior periods. A layer liquidation occurs, when: –Earlier costs are matched against current sales due to a reduction of quantities of inventory during a period (results in “costing” items at older prices) –Such matching results in distorted income. LIFO Layers 33

34. LIFO yields the lowest net income and therefore reduced earnings (with increasing prices) Under LIFO, the ending inventory is understated relative to current costs LIFO liquidation (reduction of quantities of inventory during a period – results in “costing” items at older prices): –May result in income that is detrimental from a tax view –May cause poor buying habits (because of the layer liquidation problem) LIFO Conformity Rule: if you use LIFO for tax purposes, you must use it for financial reporting also. Disadvantages of LIFO Method 34

35. 35 Dollar value LIFO applies LIFO procedures to pools of similar goods based on dollars rather than units Used for external purposes (i.e., financial statements and taxes) Advantages over regular LIFO: –Reduces record keeping (maximum of one layer per year). –Mitigates likelihood of eroding old layers (some decreases in goods in the pool are offset by increases in other goods in the pool). Price index – a measure of the change in prices from a base year (the year dollar value LIFO is adopted in this case) to the current year –Internal = Ending inventory quantities X current year costs Ending inventory quantities X base year costs –External – calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Dollar Value LIFO

36. 36 Compare ending inventory at base year prices to beginning of year inventory, also at base year prices – if there is an increase – we add a new LIFO layer at Current Year prices: 1.Calculate Ending Inventory at current year costs (FIFO) 2.Calculate or locate the current year price index. 3.Convert the ending inventory at current cost to inventory at base-year cost by dividing the current year cost by the current price index (1 / 2 ) 4.Split the ending inventory at current cost into layers depending on the year the items were acquired by comparing current inventory at base prices to prior inventory at base prices. If there is an increase add an additional layer. If there is a decrease deduct from the most recently purchased layer. Once a layer is eliminated (peeled off), it can not be rebuilt. 5.Multiply each layer by the appropriate price index (price index of the year of acquisition) to obtain the quantity in ending inventory at dollar- value LIFO cost. Dollar Value LIFO Calculation Steps

37. 37 Given: Base layer (Dec 31, 2009):$20,000 Inventory (current prices) Dec 31, 2010: $26,400 Prices increased 20% during 2010. Determine dollar value LIFO at Dec 31, 2010 Dollar Value LIFO: Example

38. 38 Dec 31, 2009Dec 31, 2010 Price increase, 20% At EOY prices: $26,400 $26,400 / 1.20 At base $: $22,000 Net increase at base $: $22,000 less $20,000 Restate at current $: $2,400 (layer added) $2,000 * 1.20 $20,000 plus $2,400 = $22,400 Dollar value LIFO Inventory Dollar Value LIFO: Example

39. 39 When the ending inventory (at base year prices) is less than the beginning inventory (at base year prices) (i.e. in the example above if EI at base year prices was < $20,000): –the decrease must be subtracted from the most recently added layer. –Once a layer is eliminated (peeled off), it cannot be rebuilt.
