Problem 5-7A (Static) Periodic: Alternative cost flows LO P1 Seminole Co. began the year with 23,000 units of product in its January 1 inventory costing $15 each. It made four purchases of its product during the year as follows. The company uses a periodic inventory system. On December 31, a physical count reveals that 40,000 units of its product remain in inventory. Mar. 730,000 units @ $18 each May 2539,000 units @ $20 each Aug. 123,000 units @ $25 each Nov. 1035,000 units @ $26 each Required:1. Compute the number and total cost of the units available for sale during the year. 2. Compute the amounts assigned to ending inventory and the cost of goods sold using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average.

1. Number and total cost of units available for sale: 23,000 units in beginning inventory @ $15= $345,000 30,000 units purchased @ $18=540,000 39,000 units purchased @ $20=780,000 23,000 units purchased @ $25= 575,000 35,000 units purchased @ $26= 910,000 150,000 units available for sale = $3,150,000 2. (a) FIFO periodic Total cost of 150,000 units available for sale = $3,150,000 Less ending inventory on a FIFO basis 35,000 units @ $26= $910,000 5,000 units @ $25 = 125,000 910,000 + 125,000 = 1,035,000 Cost of units sold $2,115,000 (b) LIFO periodic Total cost of 150,000 units available for sale $3,150,000 Less ending inventory on a LIFO basis 23,000 beginning inventory units @ $15= $345,000 17,000 units @ $18 = 306,000 345,000 + 306,000 = 651,000 Cost of units sold $2,499,000 (c) Weighted average periodic Total cost of 150,000 units available for sale= $3,150,000 Less ending inventory at weighted average ($3,150,000 / 150,000) × 40,000 = 840,000* Cost of units sold $2,310,000* *Amount can slightly vary due to differences in rounding.

A decrease in a bank account.

deposit in transit

A deposit recorded by the company but not yet by its bank.

perpetual inventory system

A detailed inventory system in which a company maintains the cost of each inventory item, and the records continuously show the inventory that should be on hand. - timely info to managers -gives immediate info on inventory -adjusting needed due to inventory shrinkage records cost of goods sold for each sales transaction

bank reconciliation

A report that accounts for the differences between the bank statement and a checkbook balance

Method Advantage (LIFO)

Cost of goods sold approximates its current cost: it also better matches current cost with revenue

Internal Control System

All policies and procedures used to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and urge adherence to company policies.

Control of Cash

An effective system of internal control that protects cash and cash equivalents should meet three basic guidelines

credit memorandum

An increase in a bank account- notifies the owner

periodic inventory system

An inventory system in which a company does not maintain detailed records of goods on hand throughout the period and determines the cost of goods sold only at the end of an accounting period. -records goods in a purchase account

insure assets and bond key employees

Assets are adequately insured against casualty and that employees handling large amounts of cash and easily transferable assets are bonded

Merchandise Inventory

Balance sheet with current assets. Inventory includes cost to buy goods (to sell), shipping, and any other costs to get product ready to sale

Inventory Relation

Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold

Inventory System

Beginning inventory + Net purchase = Merch avail for sale Ending inventory = cost of goods

Record Inventory Shrinkage

Beginning of the year: $13,600 Purchased: $42,200 Sold: $35,400 Year-end count: $14,600 1st: 42,200 + 13,600 - 35,400 -14,600= 5800 Record: Debit Cost of goods sold 5800 Credit Merch Inv. 5800 Assets (-) Equity (-)

Tax Effects

Both inventory and net income are higher when companies use FIFO in a period of inflation. LIFO results in the lowest income taxes (because of lower net income) during times of rising prices- IRS required if this is used for tax reporting that it is also used for financial reporting

Goods Damaged or Obsolete

Damaged or obsolete goods are not reported in inventory if they cannot be sold. Damaged or obsolete goods which can be sold are included in inventory at net realizable value. Net realizable value = sales price minus selling costs. Loss is recorded when damage or obsolescence occurs. Damaged and obsolete (and deteriorated) goods are not reported in inventory if they cannot be sold. If these goods can be sold at a reduced price, they are included in inventory at net realizable value. Net realizable value is sales price minus the cost of making the sale. The period when damage or obsolescence (or deterioration) occurs is the period when the loss in value is reported.

Use the following information for the Quick Study below (Static) Trey Monson starts a merchandising business on December 1 and enters into the following three inventory purchases. Monson uses a periodic inventory system. Also, on December 15, Monson sells 15 units for $20 each. Purchases on December 710 units @ $ 6 cost Purchases on December 1420 units @ $12 cost Purchases on December 2115 units @ $14 cost Required:Determine the costs assigned to the December 31 ending inventory based on FIFO method

Explanation FIFO—Periodic (15 × $12) + (15 × $14) (10 × $6) + (5 × $12) Ending Inventory $390 Cost of Goods Sold $120

QS 5-25 (Algo) Analyzing inventory LO A3 Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $130,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $500,000. Compute Endor's inventory turnover and days' sales in inventory. Assume there are 365 days in the year.

Explanation Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold / Average merchandise inventory = $500,000 / [($110,000 + $130,000) / 2] = 4.17 times Days' sales in inventory= Ending inventory / Costs of goods sold × 365 =($130,000 / $500,000) × 365 = 94.90 days

Inventory costs LO C1 A car dealer acquires a used car for $8,000, with terms FOB shipping point. Compute total inventory costs assigned to the used car if additional costs include $190 for transportation-in. $120 for shipping insurance. $1,000 for car import duties. $180 for advertising. $1,400 for sales staff salaries. $160 for trimming shrubs. How many total units should Emma include in her company's period-end inventory?

Explanation The $180 advertising cost, the $1,400 cost for sales staff salaries, and the $160 trimming costs are included in operating expenses—they are not part of inventory costs. Those three costs are not necessary to get the vehicle in a place and condition for sale.

(Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Round cost per units to 2 decimals.)

Explanation Weighted Average—Periodic ($510 / 45 = $11.33 cost per unit) (30 × $11.33) (15 × $11.33) Ending Inventory $339.90 Cost of Goods Sold $169.95

Identifying income tax effect of FIFO vs. LIFO LO A1 Blue Sky Co. is considering either FIFO or LIFO. Determine which method results in the lowest income tax expense in the current year when (a) inventory costs are rising and (b) when inventory costs are falling. The income tax rate is 22%, and is calculated as a percentage of net income.

Explanation a. LIFO When inventory costs are rising, LIFO results in higher cost of goods sold and lower net income. This results in a temporary tax advantage. b. FIFO When inventory costs are falling, FIFO results in higher cost of goods sold and lower net income. This results in a temporary tax advantage.

LIFO and FIFO TOGETHER 2

Explanation (a)FIFO (195 × $28.80) + (145 × $23.80)= ending inventory $9,067 (295 × $13.80) + (480 × $18.80) + (350 × $23.80) = cost of goods sold $21,425 (b)LIFO (295 × $13.80) + (45 × $18.80)= ending inventory $4,917 (195 × $28.80) + (495 × $23.80) + (435 × $18.80)= cost of goods sold $25,575 (c) FIFO Gross profit Sales revenue (1,125 units sold × $43.80 selling price)= $49,27 Less: FIFO cost of goods sold 21,425 Gross profit$27,850 LIFO Gross profit Sales revenue (1,125 units sold × $43.80 selling price)$49,275 Less: LIFO cost of goods sold 25,575 Gross profit $23,700

Fraud Triangle: Rationalization

Fraud perpetrators need to rationalize their action as acceptable (for example, I'm doing it for the good of the company).

divide responsibility for related transactions

Good internal control divides responsibility for a transaction or a series of related transactions between two or more individuals or departments so it can be checked

To record a check amount error

In the bank reconcililiation: Under book - add check info and debit the difference in amounts

Method Advantage (FIFO)

Inventory approximates its current cost: it also follows actual flow of goods for most businesses

Expense Recognition Principle

Inventory costs are expensed as cost of goods sold when inventory is sold. Dictates that the recognition of expenses is related to net changes in assets and earning revenues, that is, "let the expense follow the revenues."

LCM ( lower cost of market)

Is replacement cost for LIFO, but net realizable value for the other three (FIFO, Weighted, SI) A decline in market means a loss of value in inventory. When this happens it is documented. When market value increases there is no documentation. Debit: Cost of goods sold for difference ( was 11,00 now its 10,000 so 1000 is notes) Credit: Merchandise Inventory

cash receipts by mail

Keep a triplicate account and Preferably, two people are assigned the task of opening the mail; the cashier deposits the money in the bank; The recordkeeper records the amounts received in the accounting records;

QS 5-23 (Algo) Applying LCM to inventories LO P2 Ames Trading Co. has the following products in its ending inventory. Product 1. Mountain bikes 2.Skateboard 3.Gliders Quantity 1. 24 2. 10 3. 30 Cost per Unit 1. 700 2. 200 3. 730 Market per Unit 1. 650 2. 280 3. 670 Compute lower of cost or market for inventory applied separately to each product.

LCM applied to each market: is the lower amount between Cost and Market. EXAMPLE: Mountain bike is 16800 cost, and 15600 Market cost. Put 15600

Method Advantage (SI)

Matches the cost of items with the revenue they generate

Determining Inventory Items

Merchandise inventory includes all goods that a company owns and holds for sale, regardless of where the goods are located when inventory is counted. Pay special attention to: Goods in transit, consignment, and damaged

Retail Inventory Method

Method for estimating ending inventory based on the ratio of the amount of goods for sale at cost to the amount of goods for sale at retail. 1. Goods available for retail sale - Net sales at retail = Ending Inventory at retail 2. Goods at available at sale cost / Goods available for sale at retail = cost to retail ratio 3. Ending Inventory at retail x Cost to retail ratio = Estimated ending inventory at cost

gross profit calculations

Net sales - Cost of goods = Gross profit

Computing Income from a merchandiser

Net sales- cost of goods = Gross profit Gross Profit - expenses = Net income

Principals of internal control

Principles prescribing management to establish responsibility, maintain records, insure assets, separate recordkeeping from custody of assets, divide responsibility for related transactions, apply technological controls, and perform reviews.

RECAP: Macy buys merchandise and has a return and gets discount:

Purchase Debit Merchandise Inventory for full purchase amount ( 1100 no discount) Credit Accounts Payable for full balance (1100) Return Debit Accounts payable for return amount (500) Credit Merch Inventory for return amount (500) Discount for paying early Debit Accounts payable ( original cost 1100- the return items 500 = 600) Credit Merch Inventory for discount ( 600 * .05= 30) Credit Cash for the amount after the return and discount ( 600 * .95= 570)
