The primary goals of inventory management
1) to have sufficient quantities of high-quality inventory
2) minimizing the costs of carrying inventory such as production, storage, obsolescence, and financing
tangible property held for sale in the normal course of business or used in producing goods or services for sale
Inventory
goods held for resale in the normal course of business; the goods usually are acquired in a finished condition and are ready for sale without further processing
Merchandise Inventory
items acquired for processing into finished goods
Raw materials inventory
goods in the process of being manufactured but not yet complete
Work in process inventory
Manufactured goods that are complete and ready for sale
Finished Goods Inventory
Requires that inventory be recorded at the price paid or the consideration given
The Cost Principle
Sum of the costs incurred in bringing an article to usable or salable condition and location
Inventory Cost
In general, the company should cease accumulating costs in inventory when...
the raw materials are ready for use or when the merchandise inventory is ready for shipment
Earnings of employees who work directly on the products being manufactured
Direct Labor
Includes manufacturing costs such as the costs of heat, light, and power to operate the factory
Factory Overhead
2 costs included in WIP Inventory
1) Direct Labor

2) Factory Overhead
Goods Available for Sale Equation
Beginning Inventory + Purchases
Costs of Goods Sold Equation
Goods Available - Ending Inventory
Four generally accepted inventory costing methods
Specific Identification
First-in, First-out
Last-in, First-out
Weighted Average
The four inventory costing methods are alternative ways to
assign the total dollar amount of goods available for sale between ending inventory and cost of goods sold
When units are sold, the specific cost is added to COGS; commonly used in businesses that have low sales volume of high dollar items (car dealerships, jewelry stores)
Specific Identification Method
The choice of an inventory costing method is not based on
physical flow of goods on and off the shelves; that is why they are called cost flow assumptions
When using first-in, first-out, we assign the ________ costs to the units sold
older
When using last-in, first-out, we assign the _________ costs to the units sold
most recent
The average cost is determined by
cost of goods available for sale / units on hand
In periods of rising prices, ________ will provide the lowest Cost of Goods Sold amount
FIFO
In periods of rising prices, ________ will provide the lowest Net Income
LIFO
Advantage of weighted average
smoothes out peaks and valleys in price changes
Advantage of FIFO
does a great job of valuing Ending Inventory at an approximate replacement cost
Advantage of LIFO
does a great job of matching current costs in Cost of Goods Sold with current revenues
If LIFO is used on the income tax return, it must also be used to calculate inventory and cost of goods sold for financial statements
LIFO Conformity Rule
Ending Inventory is reported at the
Lower of Cost or Market (LCM)
Difference between the purchase cost and the lower replacement cost; it is added to the cost of goods sold of the period
Holding Loss
Recognition of holding gains on inventory is/isn't permitted by GAAP
is not
Journal Entry to recognize LCM
____________________DR_______CR
COGS $50,000
Inventory $50,000
inventory turnover ratio reflects
how many times average inventory was produced and sold during the period
A higher Inventory Turnover Ratio means
inventory moves more quickly thus reducing storage and obsolescence costs
Beginning LIFO Reserve
(excess of FIFO over LIFO)
Beg Inventory FIFO -- Beg Inventory LIFO
Difference in COGS under FIFO
Beginning LIFO reserve -- Ending LIFO Reserve
After cash ______ is the second asset most vulnerable to theft
inventory
A detailed inventory record is maintained, recording each purchase and sale during the accounting period; This up-to-date record is maintained on a transaction-by-transaction basis; purchase transactions are recorded directly in an inventory account
Perpetual Inventory System
ending inventory and cost of goods sold are determined at the end of the accounting period based on a physical count (used less often)
Periodic Inventory System
When a LIFO company sells more inventory than it purchases or manufactures, items from beginning inventory become part of cost of goods sold
LIFO Liquidation
Requires notification in a company's financial statements of the cost flow method used
Full Disclosure Principle
LCM is an example of the ________ restraint
conservatism
Long-lived assets
assets that are used actively in the operations of business, and that are expected to benefit the operations into the future
The fixed-asset turnover ratio measures
how effectively a company manages its fixed assets to generate revenue
Purchase price as well as all costs necessary to get the asset in place and ready for its intended use
Acquisition Cost of an Asset
Finance charges are/are not included in the cost of an asset
are not
Recording acquisition costs as assets is referred to as __________ the costs.
capitalizing
In any noncash acquisition, the components of the transaction should be recorded at their __________
fair values
Generally, subsequent expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are.....These are amounts are called ________
expensed in the period incurred; revenue expenditures
Subsequent expenditures that are for betterments like overhauls that extend the life of the asset, and additions are ...These amounts are called ________
capitalized instead of expensed; capital expenditures
The decision to capitalize an expenditure results in higher ________ and _______
current income and current taxes
A revenue expenditure charges the amount to expenses in the current period resulting in ________ current income ________ current taxes
lower; lower
Many companies have policies regarding the expensing of all expenditures below a certain amount according to the
Materiality constraint
Refers to the sum of beginning inventory and purchases (or transfers to finished goods) for the period
Goods Available for Sale
Valuation method departing from the cost principle; it serves to recognize a loss when replacement cost or net realizable value drops below cost.
Lower of Cost or Market (LCM)
Current purchase price for identical goods
Replacement Cost
Expected sales price minus sales costs
Net Realizable Value
contra-asset for the excess of FIFO over LIFO inventory
LIFO reserve
Sale of a lower-cost inventory item from beginning LIFO inventory
LIFO Liquidation
Net cash equivalent amount paid or to be paid for the asset
Acquisition Cost
Represents interest expenditures included in the cost of a self-constructed asset
Capitalized Interest
Expenditures for normal operating upkeep of long-lived assets
Ordinary Repairs and Maintenance
Maintain the productive capacity of the asset during the current accounting period only and are recorded as expenses
Revenue Expenditures
Infrequent expenditures that increase an asset's economic usefulness in the future
Additions and Improvements
Increase the productive life, operating efficiency, or capacity of the asset and are recorded as increases in asset accounts, not as expenses
Capital Expenditures
Process of allocating the cost of buildings and equipment over their productive lives using a systematic and rational method
Depreciation
Acquisition cost of an asset -- accumulated depreciation
Net Book (or Carrying) Value
Method that allocates the cost of an asset in equal periodic amounts over its useful life
