ACFM 321 Exam 3

TermDefinition
Inventory Goods awaiting sale (finished goods), goods in course of production (work in process). and goods to be consumed directly or indirectly in production (raw materials)
Cost of Goods Sold Expense that represents the cost of inventory sold during period
Raw Materials Components purchased from suppliers that will become part of the finished product but have not yet been used in production
Work In Process Products that have been started in production process but are not yet complete at end of period
Manufacturing Overhead Electricity and other utility costs to operate manufacturing facility, depreciation of manufacturing equipment, and many other manufacturing costs that cannot be linked to production of specific goods
Finished Goods Products that have been completed in manufacturing process but have not yet been sold
Perpetual Inventory System System of accounting for inventory by continuously adjusting balance of inventory account for each purchase, sale, or return of inventory; COGS account is adjusted for each sale or return of inventory by customers
Periodic Inventory System System of accounting for inventory that involves adjusting entry at end of period to update balance of inventory account and the COGS account for purchases, sales, and returns during period
Goods In Transit Refer to inventory items that are being shipped from seller to buyer
FOB Shipping Point Legal title to goods passes from seller to buyer at point of shipment (when seller delivers goods to common carrier); buyer is responsible for shipping costs and transit insurance
FOB Destination Legal title to goods passes down from seller to buyer at point goods arrive at their destination (customer's location); seller is responsible for shipping costs and transit insurance
Goods On Consignment Selling arrangement whereby consignor transfers goods to another company to sell, while retaining legal title to those goods
Product Costs Costs associated with products and expenses as COGS only when related products are sold
Purchase Returns Occurs when inventory is returned by buyer to seller
Purchase Discounts Reductions in amount to be paid if payment is made within designated period of time
Special Identification Method Each unit of inventory sold during period or each unit on hand at end of period is matched with its actual cost
Average Cost Method Assumes COGS and ending inventory consist of a mixture of all goods available for sale
First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Assumes that first inventory units purchased are first ones sold
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Assumes that last inventory units purchased are first ones sold
True True or False: Are these three methods permissible according to GAAP?
No, but they need a disclosure note Does the company need to use the same method for its entire inventory?
What are the factors that influence method choice? Physical flow, income taxes & net income, and how well costs are matched with associated revenue
LIFO Conformity Rule IRS regulation that requires if company uses LIFO to measure taxable income, company must also use LIFO for external financial reporting
LIFO Reserves / Allowances Contra account to inventory used to record difference between an alternative acceptable method of inventory accounting and LIFO
LIFO Liquidation Decline in inventory quantity during period
Just-In-Time System System used by manufacturer to coordinate production with suppliers so that raw materials or components arrive just as they are needed in production process
Gross Profit Ratio (Net Sales - COGS) / Net Sales
Inventory Turnover Ratio COGS / Average Inventory
Average Days in Inventory 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio
LIFO Inventory Pools Groups of inventory units based on physical similarities of individual units and to reduce risk of LIFO layer liquidation
Dollar-Value LIFO Inventory costing method comprising layers of dollar value from different periods and using cost indexes to adjust for changes in price levels over time
Cost Indexes Cost in Layer Year / Cost in Base Year
DVL Inventory Estimation Techniques Step 1: Convert ending inventory to base year cost, Step 2: Identify layers of ending inventory created each year, Step 3: Restate each layer using cost index in year acquired
Inventory Costs Include all costs necessary to bring asset to its desired condition and location for use
COGS Square Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases = COGAFS = COGS + Ending Inventory
Net Purchases Purchases + Freight-In - Purchase Returns - Purchase Discounts
COGAFS COGS + Ending Inventory
LIFO Reserve Steps Step 1: Determine company's internal ending balance of FIFO and what LIFO needs to be externally, Step 2: Difference between them will be the ending balance of the account, Step 3: Book an adjusting entry to move LIFO reserve balance
Debit COGS, Credit LIFO Reserve If LIFO Reserve needs to be increased what is the journal entry?
Debit LIFO Reserve, Credit COGS If LIFO Reserve needs to be decreased what is the journal entry?
When inventory is typically more valuable When do companies like to use perpetual inventory system?
When inventory is more low cost When do companies like to use periodic inventory system?
Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value Subsequent measurement of inventory applied by companies that use FIFO, average cost, or any other method besides LIFO or retail inventory method
Net Realizable Value Estimated selling prices of inventory in ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation
We need an adjusting entry to reduce inventory from its already reported purchase cost to lower NRV If NRV is lower than cost
No adjusting entry is needed If cost is lower than NRV
Lower of Cost or Market Subsequent measurement of inventory applied by companies that use LIFO or retail inventory method
Market Current replacement cost of inventory, not to exceed NRV or to be lower than NRV minus normal profit margin
It represents market If replacement cost is between ceiling and floor
Ceiling or floor becomes market If replacement cost is above ceiling or below floor
Gross Profit Method Estimates COGS, which is then subtracted from COGAFS to estimate ending inventory
Gross Profit Ratio (Net Sales - COGS) / (Total Sales - Sales Returns - Sales Discounts)
Retail Inventory Method Concept Beginning Inventory @ Retail + Net Purchases @ Retail = Goods Available For Sale @ Retail - Net Sales = Ending Inventory @ Retail
Cost-To-Retail Percentage Ratio found by dividing goods available for sale at cost by goods available for sale at retail
Initial Markup Original amount of markup from cost to selling price
Additional Markup Increase in selling price subsequent to initial markup
Markup Cancellation Elimination of an additional markup
Markdown Decrease in selling price subsequent to initial markup
Markdown Cancellation Elimination of a markdown
Net Markup Additional markup on selling price less any markup cancellations
Net Markdown Markdown on selling price less any markdown cancellations
When inventory error is discovered following year Need to reduce/add inventory & retained earnings to correct their balances, prior year statements are restated, and prior period adjustments do not flow through income statement but directly adjust retained earnings
When inventory error is discovered 2 years later Would not require correction, financial statements are retrospectively restated, and disclosure note is needed
Debit COGS (if not substantial) or Inventory Write-Down Loss (if substantial), Credit Inventory Journal Entry When Write-Down is needed for LCNRV or LCM
