Inventories consist of _____ that a retail or wholesale company acquire for resale of goods that manufacturers produce for sale.

Assets

The _____ method assumes that items sold and items in ending inventory come from a mixture of all the goods available for sale.

Average Cost Method or Weighted Average

Expenditures necessary to bring inventory to its condition and location for sale or use are included in its _____.

Cost

__________ (beginning inventory + purchases) are the same no matter which inventory cost flow assumption is used.

Cost of Goods Available for Sale

The inventory amount in the balance sheet represents the cost of the inventory still on hand (not yet sold) at the end of the period, while _________in the income statement represents the cost of the inventory sold during the period.

Cost of goods sold

_____ is the expense related to inventory.

Cost of goods sold

During periods of rising costs, (FIFO/LIFO) results in a lower cost of goods sold than LIFO because the lower costs of the earliest purchases are assumed sold.

FIFO

Ending inventory is most up-to-date (current) under FIFO/LIFO.

FIFO

The ending inventory and cost of goods sold will have the same amounts in a perpetual inventory system as in a periodic inventory system when (LIFO/FIFO) is used. This is because the same units and costs are first in and first out whether cost of goods sold is determined as each sale is made or at the end of the period as a residual amount.

FIFO

Companies will use LIFO Reserve account (a contra inventory account) to convert from FIFO/LIFO to FIFO/LIFO a the end of each reporting period.

FIFO to LIFO

IF costs are declining, then (FIFO/LIFO) will result in a higher cost of goods sold and lower ending inventory than (FIFO/LIFO).

FIFO, LIFO

Freight-in

GAAP/IFRS does not allow use of LIFO.

IFRS

Inventory

In order to acquire and/or produce items of inventory and to move them to the location from which they will be sold or held for sale, accumulated amounts of direct and indirect expenditures and charges incur in the process.

LIFO

Previous methods of applying FIFO/LIFO is costly (record keeping) because the company has to keep track of individual units of inventory.

LIFO

Revenues and expenses are better matched under FIFO/LIFO.

LIFO

FIFO COGS + increase in LIFO reserve or decrease in LIFO reserve

LIFO COGS

Based on the ______ IRS states that only companies which use LIFO for financial reporting can use LIFO for tax return.

LIFO Conformity Rule

LIFO Reserve

If unit costs are increasing, (FIFO/LIFO) will result in a higher cost of goods sold and lower ending inventory than (FIFO/LIFO).

LIFO, FIFO

Some companies use FIFO/LIFO for income tax and financial reporting but use FIFO/LIFO for internal accounting (I.e pricing decision, bonus computations, etc.)

LIFO, FIFO

Which inventory system would fit the following attributes would fit the following attributes (perpetual or periodic)? - Adjusts inventory quantities and records COGS only at the end of each reporting period. - Several temporary accounts (purchase, freight-in, purchase returns, and purchase discounts) to be closed (at period end) to (ending) inventory and COGS - Perform periodic physical inventory count to determine the ending inventory at period-end - Estimate COGS by: beg. inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Periodic Inventory System

_______FIFO results in cost of goods sold and ending inventory amounts that are the same as those obtained using periodic FIFO.

Perpetual

Cost of "merchandise" inventory include the_____plus any costs necessary to get the goods in condition and location for sale.

Purchase price

If the goods are shipped f.o.b. (free on board) shipping point, the legal title to the goods changes hands at the point of shipment when the seller delivers the goods to the common carrier (for example, a trucking company). The (seller/purchaser) is responsible for shipping costs and transit insurance.

Purchaser

A LIFO Reserve accounting is a contra inventory account (true/false).

True

If various portions of inventory are acquired at different costs, we need a way to decide which units were sold and which remain in inventory (true/false)

True

End

Computer used for office use are not available for sale to customers and therefore are classified and accounted for as __________.

Equipment

Give some examples of situations in which identifying inventory items would be difficult.

Example: goods in transit, goods on consignment, and sales returns.

While the purchase price is included in inventory, give a few examples of other costs that are included in inventory.

Examples include freight charges, insurance costs incurred by the buyer, cost to unload, unpack, and preparing merchandise inventory for sale, raw materials for use

Freight-in/freight-out is reported in the income statement either as part of cost of goods sold or as an operating expense (usually among selling expenses).

Freight-out

________ allocates units and inventory cost between ending inventory (EI) and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

Inventory Cost Flow Assumptions.

This inventory system estimates COGS by: Beg. Inventory + purchases - end. inventory

Period Inventory System

Merchandise purchases, purchase returns, purchase discounts, and freight-in (purchases plus freight-in less returns and discounts equals net purchases) are recorded in temporary accounts. In addition, the period's cost of goods sold is determined at the END of the period by combining the temporary accounts with the inventory account: Beginning inventory + Net purchases − Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold

Periodic inventory system

in the _____inventory system, inventory is debited directly.

Perpetual

The following journal entries would fall under which inventory system? Example: Inventory-----100 A/P--------------100 A/R---------150 Sales--------150 COGS-------100 Inventory----100

Perpetual Inventory System

This inventory system estimates inventory by: Beg inventory + purchases- COGS

Perpetual Inventory System

Which inventory system would fit the following attributes (perpetual or periodic)? - Continuously records changes in inventory quantity and inventory costs. - One permanent inventory account - Records each purchase, sale, return, etc. - Calculate COGS each time goods are sold - Estimate ending inventory by: Beg Inventory + Purchases- COGS - Actual quantity of inventory is verified through physical inventory counts (differences could be due to theft, spoilage, breakage...)

Perpetual Inventory System

An important feature of this type of inventory system is that it tracks inventory quantities from their acquisition to their sale. It also allows management to determine how many goods are on hand on any date without having to take a physical count, assuming that there isn't defects or system errors.

Perpetual inventory system

_______ make up the cost of components purchased from suppliers that will become part of the finished product. For example, semiconductors, circuit boards, plastic, and glass that go into the production of personal computers.

Raw materials

In FOB Destination Point: shipping cost incurred by the buyer/seller.

Seller

The _____ is used frequently by companies selling unique, expensive products with low sales volume which makes it relatively easy and economically feasible to associate each item with its actual cost. For example, automobiles have unique serial numbers that can be used to match a specific auto with the invoice identifying the actual purchase price.

Specific Identification System

0. Determine ending inventory at CURRENT YEAR (end-of-year prices) 1. Convert the ending inventory to BASE YEAR prices and compare ending inventory (base-year prices) to beginning inventory at base-year prices. 2. Compute the difference. An increase represents a new LIFO layer. Convert the new layer to end-of-year prices. 3. LIFO ending inventory is beginning inventory (as reported in the balance sheet at the end of the prior year) plus new LIFO layer.

Steps for Dollar-Value LIFO

Periodic Inventory System

The inventory account is adjusted at the end of a reporting cycle.

Perpetual Inventory System

The inventory account is continuously updated as purchases and sales are made.

Goods held on _______are included in the inventory of the consignor until sold by the consignee.

consignment

The goods are physically transferred to the other company but the transferor retains legal title.

consignment

_______ are in between those of LIFO and FIFO

average cost values

The ______ applied to goods sold or to ending inventory is not simply an average of the various unit costs of purchases during the period but an ______weighted by the number of units acquired at the various unit costs.

average unit cost, average unit cost

Generally, invoice price + shipping costs is incurred by the buyer/seller.

buyer

Average cost for all of the pool purchases during the period is applied to the current/last year's LIFO layer.

current year

It is easy/difficult to maintain consistencies in pools because of new product introductions and old product discontinuances (true/false).

f.o.b destination

If the consignee can't find a buyer, the consigner lets the consignee keep the goods (true/false).

false; the items are returned to the cosigner

________ are goods that have been completed in the manufacturing process but have not yet been sold. They have reached their final stage and now await sale to a customer. Their cost includes the cost of all raw materials and work-in-process used in production.

finished goods

Ending inventory applying LIFO consists of the items acquired (first/last).

first

These types companies purchase items in finished form and act as intermediaries in the process of moving goods from the manufacturer to the end-user. They often are referred to as _____ companies and their inventory as_____inventory.

merchandise and retail

By both the gross and net method, ___purchases are reduced by discounts taken.

net

The (gross/net method) considers the cost of inventory to include the net, after-discount amount, and any discounts not taken are reported as interest expense. The discount is viewed as compensation to the seller for providing financing to the buyer.

net method

Refer to the following cost of goods sold calculation (Beginning inventory + Net purchases − Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold). Purchase returns are subtracted from total purchases to calculate _____ purchases.

net purchases

Shipping charges on outgoing goods (freight-out) are (included/ not included) in the cost of inventory.

not included

________costs include electricity and other utility costs to operate the manufacturing facility, depreciation of manufacturing equipment, and many other manufacturing costs that cannot be directly linked to the production of specific goods.

overhead

A (periodic/perpetual inventory system) adjusts inventory and records cost of goods sold only at the end of each reporting period

periodic

in ____ system, purchase returns and purchase discounts are used.

periodic

A (perpetual/periodic inventory system) is NOT designed to track either the quantity or cost of merchandise. The merchandise inventory account balance is NOT adjusted as purchases and sales are made but at the end of a reporting period. A physical count of the period's ending inventory is made and costs are assigned to the quantities determined.

periodic inventory system

This type inventory system is less costly to implement during the period but requires a physical count before ending inventory and cost of goods sold can be determined. This makes the preparation of interim financial statements more costly unless an inventory estimation technique is used.

periodic inventory system

In __ system, inventory is credited directly.

perpetual

In the (periodic/perpetual inventory system), the average cost method is applied by computing a "moving average unit cost" each time additional inventory is purchased

perpetual

The new average, under the perpetual/periodic average cost system, is determined after each purchase by: (1) summing the cost of the previous inventory balance and the cost of the new purchase (2) dividing this new total cost (cost of goods available for sale) by the number of units on hand (the inventory units that are available for sale). This average is then used to cost any units sold before the next purchase is made.

perpetual

Differences between the quantity of inventory determined by the physical count and the quantity of inventory according to the (periodic/perpetual inventory system) could be caused by system errors, theft, breakage, or spoilage.

perpetual inventory system

The (periodic/perpetual inventory system) also directly determines how many items are sold during a period.

perpetual inventory system

_____ systems are more workable with inventories of high-cost items such as construction equipment or automobiles. However, with the help of computers and electronic sales devices such as cash register systems with barcode scanners, the ____system now is available to many small businesses that previously could not afford them and is economically feasible for a broader range of inventory items than before.

perpetual inventory system

_______systems can provide more information about the dollar amounts of inventory levels on a continuous basis. They also facilitate the preparation of interim financial statements by providing fairly accurate information without the necessity of a physical count of inventory.

perpetual inventory system

it is important to remember that this type of inventory system involves the tracking of both inventory quantities and costs. Many companies that use the periodically employ systems to constantly monitor inventory quantities.

perpetual inventory system

The costs included in inventory are called _____costs. They are connected to related products and expensed as cost of goods when those particular items are sold.

product

In a periodic system, we use a (contra-revenue account/purchase returns account) to temporarily accumulate return amounts.

purchase returns account

A company includes in ending inventory the cost of merchandise sold it anticipates will be ______.

returned

LIFO Liquidation: If prices have been falling/rising, this means the liquidated units have a lower cost than what the company would have to currently pay to purchase the inventory today. The result is a boost in net income.

rising

Periodic and Perpetual FIFO are the same/different in terms of EI and COGS.

same

When the right of return exists, a ____must be able to estimate those returns before revenue can be recognized (true/false).

seller

Purchase discounts recorded under the gross method are (added/subtracted) from total purchases when determining net purchases.

subtracted

Notes to financial statements must disclose net of___ effect of LIFO Liquidation.

tax

because risk is retained by the consignor, the sale is not complete (revenue is not recognized) until an eventual sale to a ______ party occurs. As a result, goods held on consignment generally are not included in the consignee's inventory.

third party

Ending inventory applying LIFO consists of the items acquired first (true/false).

true

________ inventory refers to the products that are not yet complete in the manufacturing process. The cost of_______ includes the cost of raw materials used in production, the cost of labor that can be directly traced to the goods in process, and an allocated portion of other manufacturing costs, called manufacturing overhead.
