A will always be equal to or less than B. (Increases in the market prices of some inventory items tend to offset decreases in other inventory items when the lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) rule is applied to the inventory as a whole. Thus, the inventory valuation that results from applying the LCM method to individual items in inventory (alternative A) will always be equal to or less than the inventory valuation that results from applying the LCM rule to the inventory as a whole (alternative B).)

Let A equal the reported inventory value if the lower-of-cost-or-market rule is applied to individual items of inventory; B equals the reported inventory value if the lower of cost or market rule is applied to the inventory as a whole.

there is a controlled market with a quoted price applicable to all quantities. (With no significant disposal costs and a controlled market, net realizable value is an appropriate inventory valuation approach. For example, inventories of certain minerals are ordinarily reported at selling prices because there is often a controlled market without significant costs of disposal. A similar treatment is given to agricultural products that are immediately marketable at fixed prices. Also, this method proves to be valuable when cost figures are too difficult to obtain.)

future utility will be less than their cost. (Inventories are recorded at their cost. However, if inventory declines in value below its original cost, a major departure from the historical cost principle occurs. Whatever the reason for a decline-damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes-a company should write down the inventory to net realizable value to report this loss. A company abandons the historical cost principle when the future utility (revenue-producing ability) of the asset drops below its original cost.

The primary basis of accounting for inventories is cost. A departure from the cost basis of pricing the inventory is required where there is evidence that when the goods are sold in the ordinary course of business their a. selling price will be less than their replacement cost. b. replacement cost will be more than their net realizable value. c. cost will be less than their replacement cost. d. future utility will be less than their cost.

less than net realizable value less a normal profit margin. (If replacement cost is less than net realizable value less a normal profit margin, then replacement cost is below the lower limit for market value. When this occurs, market is defined as the lower limit (NRV minus a normal profit margin).)

Under the lower-of-cost-or-market-rule, designated market will be replacement cost except when replacement cost is: A. higher than cost. B. less than net realizable value. C. less than net realizable value less a normal profit margin. D. less than cost.

Prevents overstatement of the value of obsolete or damaged inventories.

What is the rationale behind the ceiling when applying the lower-of-cost-or-market method to inventory? a. Prevents understatement of the inventory value. b. Allows for a normal profit to be earned. c. Allows for items to be valued at replacement cost. d. Prevents overstatement of the value of obsolete or damaged inventories.

When inventory declines in value below original (historical) cost, and this decline is considered other than temporary, what is the maximum amount that the inventory can be valued at? a. Sales price b. Net realizable value c. Historical cost d. Net realizable value reduced by a normal profit margin

the market value figure for ending inventory is substituted for cost and the loss is buried in cost of goods sold.

When the cost-of-goods-sold method is used to record inventory at market a. there is a direct reduction in the selling price of the product that results in a loss being recorded on the income statement prior to the sale. b. a loss is recorded directly in the inventory account by crediting inventory and debiting loss on inventory decline. c. only the portion of the loss attributable to inventory sold during the period is recorded in the financial statements. d. the market value figure for ending inventory is substituted for cost and the loss is buried in cost of goods sold.

Both a and c.

Which method(s) may be used to record a loss due to a price decline in the value of inventory? a. Cost-of-goods-sold. b. Sales method. c. Loss method d. Both a and c.

The total amount of purchases and the total amount of sales remain relatively unchanged from the comparable previous period. (The gross profit method assumes a constant gross profit percentage, but makes no assumptions about the total amount of sales or purchases. Alternatively (A), (B), and (C) are basic assumptions of the gross profit method.)

Which of the following is not a basic assumption of the gross profit method? a. The beginning inventory plus the purchases equal total goods to be accounted for. b. Goods not sold must be on hand. c. If the sales, reduced to the cost basis, are deducted from the sum of the opening inventory plus purchases, the result is the amount of inventory on hand. d. The total amount of purchases and the total amount of sales remain relatively unchanged from the comparable previous period.

Inventory location.

Which of the following is not a common disclosure for inventories? a. Inventory composition. b. Inventory location. c. Inventory financing arrangements. d. Inventory costing methods employed.

Inventory location.

Which of the following is not an acceptable approach in applying the lower-of-cost-or-market method to inventory? a. Inventory location. b. Categories of inventory items. c. Individual item. d. Total of the inventory.

All of these.

Which of the following is true about lower-of-cost-or-market? a. It is inconsistent because losses are recognized but not gains. b. It usually understates assets. c. It can increase future income. d. All of these.

The loss in utility (revenue-producing ability) that results from a decline in the market value of inventory should be charged against revenues in the period in which it occurs. (The general rule is that the historical cost principle is abandoned when the future utility (revenue producing ability) of the inventory is no longer as great as its original cost. It is no easier to keep track of market value than it is to keep track of cost, and cost does not lose its relevance if market value remains in excess. The balance sheet valuation is not the most significant reason for lower-of-cost-or-net realizable.)

Which of the following represents the best justification for the departure from the historical cost principle that results when lower-of-cost-or-net realizable is used? A. It is easier to keep track of market value than it is to keep track of cost as market value is available from any supplier. B. Cost loses its relevance for the determination of cost of goods sold if the cost of inventory has been incurred in an earlier accounting period. C. The balance sheet valuation of inventory is the most important consideration in the preparation of financial statements. D. The loss in utility (revenue-producing ability) that results from a decline in the market value of inventory should be charged against revenues in the period in which it occurs.

The assumption selected may be changed each accounting period.

Which of the following statements is false regarding an assumption of inventory cost flow? a. The cost flow assumption need not correspond to the actual physical flow of goods. b. The assumption selected may be changed each accounting period. c. The FIFO assumption uses the earliest acquired prices to cost the items sold during a period. d. The LIFO assumption uses the earliest acquired prices to cost the items on hand at the end of an accounting period.

It may be used to estimate inventories for annual statements.

Which statement is not true about the gross profit method of inventory valuation? a. It may be used to estimate inventories for interim statements. b. It may be used to estimate inventories for annual statements. c. It may be used by auditors. d. None of these.
