INVENTORIES
Essay Questions
Basic Concepts
1. Define "inventories".
PAS 2, paragraph 6, defines inventories as "assets which are held for sale in the ordinary
course of business, in the process of production for such sale or in the form of materials or
supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services".
Inventories are broadly classified into two, namely inventories of a trading entity and
inventories of manufacturing entity.
A trading entity is one that buys and sells goods in the same form purchased.
The term "merchandise inventory" is generally applied to goods held by a trading entity.
A manufacturing entity is one that buys goods which are altered or converted into another
form before they are made available for sale.
The terms "finished goods", "goods in process," "raw materials", and "factory or
manufacturing supplies" refer to inventories of a manufacturing entity.
The general rule is that "all goods to which the entity has title shall be included in inventory,
regardless of location."
As long as the entity is the owner of the goods to be inventoried, the goods shall be included
in inventory.
FOB destination - means that the ownership of the goods purchased is vested in the buyer
upon receipt thereof.
Accordingly, the seller is still the owner of the goods in transit and shall legally be responsible
for freight charges and other expenses up to the point of destination.
FOB shipping point - means that the ownership of the goods purchased is vested in the buyer
upon the shipment thereof.
Accordingly, the buyer is already, the owner of the goods in transit and shall legally be
responsible for freight charges and other expenses from the point of shipment to the point of
destination.
Freight collect - means that the freight charge on the goods shipped is not yet paid. The
common carrier shall collect the same from the buyer. Thus, under this, the freight charge is
actually paid by the buyer-
Freight prepaid - means that the freight charge on the goods shipped is already paid by the
seller.
The terms "FOB destination" and "FOB shipping point" determine ownership of the goods in
transit and the party who is supposed to pay the freight charge and other expenses from the
point of shipment to the point of destination.
The terms "freight collect" and "freight prepaid" determine the party who actually paid the
freight charge but not the party who is supposed to legally pay the freight charge.
FAS or free alongside - A seller who ships FAS must bear all expenses and risk involved in
delivering the goods up to the dock next to or alongside the vessel on which the goods are
to be shipped.
The buyer bears the cost of loading and shipment and thus, title passes to the buyer when
the carrier takes possession of the goods.
CIF or cost, insurance and freight - Under this shipping contract, the buyer agrees to pay in
a lump sum the cost of the goods, insurance cost and freight charge.
The shipping contract may be modified as CF which means that the buyer agrees to pay in a
lump sum the cost of the goods and freight charge only.
In either case, the seller must pay for the cost of loading. Thus, title and risk of loss shall pass
to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier.
Ex-ship - A seller who delivers the goods ex-ship bears all expenses and risk of loss until the
goods are unloaded at which time title and risk of loss shall pass to the buyer.
A consignment is a method of marketing goods in which the owner known as the consignor
transfers physical possession of certain goods to an agent known as the consignee who sells
the goods on the owner's behalf.
Goods on consignment shall be included in the consignor's inventory and excluded from the
consignee's inventory.
Freight and other handling charges are part of the cost of the inventory of consigned goods.
7. Explain the classification and presentation of inventories in the statement of financial position.
Since inventories are acquired for production, sale or consumption and acquisitions normally
approximate the entity's need for the current operating cycle, these are generally classified
as current assets.
The inventories shall be presented as one line item in the statement of financial position but
the details of the inventories shall be disclosed in the notes to financial statements.
For example, the note shall disclose the composition of the inventories of a manufacturing
entity as finished goods, goods in process, raw materials and manufacturing supplies.
The periodic system calls for the physical counting of goods on hand at the end of the
accounting period to determine quantities.
The quantities are then multiplied by the recorded unit costs to get the inventory value.
Thus, under this approach, the cost of goods sold is computed only at the end of the
period by deducting the physical inventory from the total cost of goods available for sale.
The periodic inventory procedure is generally used when the individual inventory items
have small peso investment, such as groceries, hardware and auto parts.
2. Perpetual system
The perpetual system requires the keeping of stock cards that summarize inventory
inflow and outflow.
Inventory increases and decreases are reflected in the stock cards and the resulting
balance represents the inventory. This approach gives book or perpetual inventory.
Under this approach, the cost of goods sold is computed at the time of every sale.
The perpetual inventory procedure is commonly used when the inventory items treated
individually have large peso investment such as jewelry and cars.
When the perpetual system is used, a physical count of the units on hand should at least
be made once a year or at frequent intervals to confirm the balances appearing on the
stock cards.
1. Cash discounts are reductions in the invoice price allowed
only when payment is made
within the discount period.
Cash discounts are called purchase discount on the part of the buyer and sales discount
on the part of seller.
Trade discounts are reductions in the list price or catalog price in order to get the invoice
price or the amount actually charged to the buyer.
2. Cash discounts are recorded but trade discounts are not recorded.
3. The' purpose of cash discounts is to encourage prompt
payment. The purpose of trade
discounts is to encourage
trading or promote sales.
1. Gross method
As the title suggests, the purchases are recorded at the gross amount of the invoice.
Cash discounts taken are recorded in a purchases discount account at the time of
payment.
The purchases discount is deducted from purchases when measuring cost of goods sold.
2. Net method
The purchases are recorded at net amount, meaning, the cost of purchases is measured
net of cash discounts allowable whether taken or not taken.
The cost of purchase of inventory comprises the purchase price, import duties and
irrecoverable taxes, freight, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of
finished goods, materials and services.
Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the cost of
purchase.
The cost of purchase shall not include foreign exchange differences which arise directly from
the recent acquisition of inventories.
Moreover, when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms, the difference
between the purchase price for normal credit terms and the amount paid is recognized as
interest expense over the period of financing.
The cost of conversion of inventory includes cost directly related to the units of production
such as direct labor.
The cost of conversion also includes a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production
overhead that is incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
The allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion is based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities.
The amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is not increased as
consequence of low production or idle plant.
Variable production overhead is allocated to each unit of production on the basis of the actual
use of the production facilities.
14. What is the treatment of the following costs in connection with inventory?
Such costs are excluded from the cost of inventory and recognized as expenses in the period
in which they are incurred.
The reason is that these costs are not necessary in bringing the inventory to the present
location and condition.
However, storage costs related to goods.in process or part-finished goods are inventoriable.
Labor and other costs relating to sales and general administrative personnel are not included
but are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
Measurement
16. Explain fully the measurement of inventory in the statement of financial position.
a. Paragraph 9 provides that inventories shall be measured
at the lower of cost and net
realizable value or now known
as LCNRV.
b. Paragraph 25 provides that the cost of inventories shall be
determined by using either
the FIFO method or weighted
average method. PAS 2 prohibits the use of LIFO costing.
c. Paragraph 23 provides that the cost of inventories that are
not ordinarily interchangeable
and inventories that are
segregated for specific projects shall be determined by using
specific identification method.
17. Explain the "first in, first out" (FIFO) method of inventory valuation.
The FIFO method assumes that "the goods first purchased are first sold" and consequently
the goods remaining in the inventory at the end of the period are those most recently
purchased or produced.
In other words, the FIFO is in accordance with the ordinary merchandising procedure that the
goods are sold in the order they are purchased. The rule is "first come, first sold".
The inventory is thus expressed in terms of recent or new prices while the cost of goods sold
is representative of earlier or old prices.
This method favors the statement of financial position in that the inventory is stated at current
replacement cost.
The objection to the method is that there is improper matching of cost against revenue
because the goods sold are stated at earlier or older prices resulting in understatement of
cost of sales.
The periodic weighted average method means that cost of the beginning inventory plus the
total cost of purchases during the period is divided by the total units purchased plus those in
the beginning inventory to get a weighted average unit cost.
Such weighted average unit cost is then multiplied by the units on hand to derive the inventory
value.
The average unit cost is computed by dividing the total cost of goods available for sale by the
total number of units available for sale.
When used in conjunction with the perpetual system, the weighted average method is
popularly known as the moving average method.
PAS 2, paragraph 27, provides that the weighted average may be calculated on a periodic
basis or as each additional shipment is received depending upon the circumstances of the
entity.
Under moving average method, a new weighted average unit costjnust be computed after
every purchase and purchase return.
Thus, the total cost of goods available after every purchase and purchase return is divided
by the total units available for sale at this time to get a new weighted average unit cost.
Such new weighted average unit cost is then multiplied by the units on hand to get the
inventory cost.
This method requires the keeping of inventory stock cards in order to monitor the "moving"
unit cost after every purchase.
19. Explain the "last in, first out" or LIFO method of inventory valuation.
THE LIFO method assumes that "the goods last purchased are first sold" and consequently
the goods remaining in the inventory at the end of the period are those first purchased or
produced.
The inventory is thus expressed in terms of earlier or old prices and the cost of goods sold is
representative of recent or new prices.
The LIFO favors the income statement because there id proper matching of current cost
against revenue, the cost of goods sold being expressed in terms of current or recent cost.
The objection to the LIFO is that the inventory is stated at earlier or older prices and therefore
there may be a significant lag between inventory valuation and current replacement cost.
Moreover, the use of LIFO permits income manipulation, such as by making year-end
purchases designed to preserve existing inventory layers. At times these purchases may not
even be in the best economic interest of the entity.
Specific identification means that specific costs are attributed to identified items of inventory.
The cost of the inventory is determined by simply multiplying the units on hand by their actual
unit cost.
This requires records which will clearly determine the actual costs of goods on hand.
PAS 2, paragraph 23, provides that this method is appropriate for inventories that are
segregated for a specific project and inventories that are not ordinarily interchangeable.
The specific identification method may be used in either periodic or perpetual inventory
system.
The major argument for this method is that the flow of the inventory cost corresponds with
the actual physical flow of goods.
With specific identification, there is an actual determination of cost of units sold and on hand.
The major argument against this method is that it is very costly to implement even with high-
speed electronic computers.
Net realizable value or NRV is the' estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost of disposal.
The cost of inventories may not be recoverable if those inventories are damaged, if they have
become wholly or partially obsolete, or if their selling prices have declined:
The cost of inventories may also not be recoverable if the estimated cost of completion or the
estimated cost of disposal has increased.
The practice of writing inventories down below cost to the net reahzable value is consistent
with the view that assets should not be carried in excess of amounts expected to be realized
from their sale or use.
22. Explain the measurement of inventories at the "lower of cost and net realizable value".
Inventories are usually written down to net realizable value on an item by item or individual
basis.
If the cost is lower than net realizable value, the inventory is stated at cost and the increase
in value is not recognized.
If the net realizable value is lower than cost, the inventory is measured at net realizable value
and the decrease in value is recognized as expense.
23. Explain the direct and allowance method of accounting for inventory writedown to net
realizable value.
Direct method
The inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net reahzable value. This method is also
known as "cost of goods sold" method because any loss on inventory writedown is not
accounted for separately but "buried" in the cost of goods sold.
Allowance method
The inventory is recorded at cost and any loss on inventory writedown is accounted for
separately. This method is also known as "loss method" because a loss account, "loss on
inventory writedown" is debited and a valuation account "allowance for inventory writedown"
is credited for the inventory writedown.
The loss on inventory writedown is included in the computation of cost of goods sold.
The gain on reversal of inventory writedown is also included in the computation of cost of
goods sold as a deduction.
Preferably, the allowance method is used in order that the effects of writedown and reversal
of writedown can be clearly identified.
As a matter of fact, PAS 2, paragraph 36, requires disclosure of the amount of any inventory
writedown and the amount of any reversal of inventory writedown.
PAS 2, paragraph 4, provides that inventories of agricultural, forest and mineral products are
measured at net realizable value at certain stages of production.
This occurs when agricultural crops have been harvested or mineral ores have been
extracted and a sale is assured under a forward contract or a government guarantee, or when
a homogenous market exists and there is a negligible risk of failure to sell.
Commodities of Broker-Traders
25. Explain the measurement of commodities of broker-traders.
PAS 2, paragraph 3, provides that commodities of broker-traders are measured at fair value
less cost of disposal.
PFRS 13, paragraph 9, defines fair value as "the price that would be received to sell the asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date".
Broker-traders are those who buy and sell commodities for others or on their own account.
The inventories of broker-traders are principally acquired with the purpose of selling them in
the near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price or broker-traders' margin.
Standard Costs
26. Explain the measurement of inventory at "standard costs".
Standard costs are "predetermined product costs established on the basis of normal levels
of materials and supplies, labor, efficiency and capacity utilization".
PAS 2, paragraph 21, states that the standard cost method may be used for convenience if
the results approximate cost.
However, the standards set should be realistically attainable and are reviewed and revised
regularly in the fight of current conditions.
When different commodities are purchased at a lump sum, the single cost is apportioned
among the commodities based on then respective sales price.
The relative sales price method is based on the philosophy that cost is proportionate to selling
price.
Purchase Commitments
28. What are purchase commitments? How are purchase commitments accounted for?
Purchase commitments are obligations of an entity to acquire certain goods sometime in the
future at a fixed price and fixed quantity.
Actually, a purchase order has already been made for future delivery of goods fixed in price
and fixed in quantity.
Where the purchase commitments are significant or unusual, disclosure is required in the
accompanying notes to financial statements.
Any losses which are expected to arise from firm and noncancelable purchase commitments
shall be recognized.
If there is a decline in purchase price after a noncancelable purchase commitment has been
made, a loss is recorded in the period of the price decline.
Note that a purchase commitment must be noncancelable in order that a loss on purchase
commitment can be recognized.
Thus, if at the end of the reporting period, the purchase price falls below the agreed price the
difference is accounted for as a debit to loss on purchase commitment and a credit to an
estimated liability.
