Control of Inventory

-safeguarding the inventory from damage or theft -reporting inventory in the financial statements

Computerized Perpetual Inventory System

number of days sales in inventory formula

Average Inventory / Average Daily Cost of Goods Sold (divide COGS/365)

Effects of Changing Costs: FIFO and LIFO Periods of rising prices and Weighted Average

FIFO: results in higher gross profit and net income than the LIFO method - but, when prices rise rapidly inventory must be replaced at increasingly higher costs - which will cause higher gross profit / income to be called inventory profits or illusionary profits LIFO: more realistically reflects the cost of goods against actual sales on the income statement - bc of the higher cost of goods sold, the gross profit is lower thus offering income tax savings - but, on balance sheet, ending inventory balance may be different from its current replacement cost Weighted Average: Compromise between FIFO and LIFO cost methods

Specific Identification Cost Flow Method

Inventory method in which the unit sold is identified with a specific purchase.

net realizable value or "market" in Lower cost of market
