Inventories
LECTURE NOTES
Nature of inventories
Inventories include:
 Assets held for sale in the ordinary course of
business (finished goods),
 Assets in the production process for sale in the
ordinary course of business (work in process), and
 Materials and supplies that are consumed in
production (raw materials).
Whose inventory is it?
Goods in transit
 Shipping terms determine when title to goods passes
to the purchaser.
a. FOB (free on board) shipping point—title passes to
the buyer with the loading of goods at the point of
shipment.
b. FOB destination—legal title does not pass until the
goods are received by the buyer.
 Goods shipped FOB shipping point belong to the buyer
while they are in transit and should normally be
included in the buyer’s inventory while in transit.
 Goods shipped FOB destination belong to the seller
while in transit and are normally included in the seller’s
inventory.
Goods on consignment
 Goods held by the dealer (consignee) for which title is
held by the shipper (consignor).
 Consigned goods are included in the inventory of the
consignor.
Conditional sales, installment sales, and repurchase
agreements
 If title to the goods is retained by the seller, the seller
may report as an asset the cost of the goods less the
purchaser’s equity in the goods such as established by
collections.
 Generally however, in the usual case where the
possibilities of default or return are low, the seller, in
anticipation of contract completion and ultimate
passing of title, will recognize the transaction as a
regular sale and remove the goods from reported
inventory at the time of sale.
 Repurchase agreements result in no sale being
recorded; the inventory is thus not removed from the
books, and instead the “seller” records a liability for
the proceeds of the “sale”, which more accurately in
substance is a short-term loan secured by inventory as
collateral.
Measurement of inventories (PAS 2)
Inventories are required to be stated at the lower of cost
and net realizable value (NRV).
Page 1 of 9
Cost should include all
 costs of purchase (including taxes, transport, and
handling) net of trade discounts received
 costs of conversion (including fixed and variable
manufacturing overheads) and
 other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition
Inventory cost should not include:
 abnormal waste
 storage costs
 administrative overheads unrelated to production
 selling costs
 foreign exchange differences arising directly on the
recent acquisition of inventories invoiced in a foreign
currency
 interest cost when inventories are purchased with
deferred settlement terms.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be
exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable,
willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Other measurement bases
Repossessed merchandise–fair value or best approximation
of fair value
Trade-in inventory–net realizable value minus normal
profit margin
Commodities of brokers-traders–fair value less costs to
sell. Broker-traders are those who buy or sell commodities
for others or on their own account.
Agricultural, forest and mineral products–net realizable
value
Agricultural produce at the point of harvest–fair value less
costs to sell
Inventory cost formulas
The purpose of an inventory valuation method is to
allocate the total inventory cost of good available for sale
during the period between cost of goods sold and ending
inventory.
Specific identification
 Required for inventories that are not ordinarily
interchangeable and goods or services produced and
segregated for specific projects.
 Using the specific identification method, the original
cost of each item is identified, resulting in actual costs
being accumulated for the specific items on hand and
sold.
 This method is consistent with the physical flow of
goods (though note, it is not required that one has to
choose a cost-flow method which corresponds to the
actual, underlying physical flow of goods).

Accounting for inventory write down
The cost of inventories may not be recoverable if:
 those inventories are damaged
 they have become wholly or partially obsolete
 their selling prices have declined
 the estimated costs of completion or the estimated
costs to be incurred to make the sale have increased
The practice of writing inventories down below cost to net
realizable 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.
Inventories are usually written down to net realizable value
item by item.
Materials and other supplies held for use in the production
of inventories are not written down below cost if the
finished products in which they will be incorporated are
expected to be sold at or above cost. However, when a
decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of
the finished products exceeds net realizable value, the
materials are written down to net realizable value. In such
circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may
be the best available measure of their net realizable value.
When the circumstances that previously caused inventories
to be written down below cost no longer exist or when
there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable
value because of changed economic circumstances, the
amount of the write-down is reversed (i.e. the reversal is
limited to the amount of the original write-down) so that
the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the
revised net realizable value.
Recognition as an Expense
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those
inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period
in which the related revenue is recognized. The amount of
any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and
all losses of inventories shall be recognized as an expense
in the period the write-down or loss occurs. The amount
of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising
from an increase in net realizable value, shall be
recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories
recognized as an expense in the period in which the
reversal occurs.
Some inventories may be allocated to other asset
accounts, for example, inventory used as a component of
self-constructed property, plant or equipment. Inventories
allocated to another asset in this way are recognized as an
expense during the useful life of that asset.
Inventory systems
Periodic inventory system
 An inventory system in which only revenue is recorded
each time a sale occurs; the inventory balance is
determined by a periodic physical inventory.
 Using the periodic system, items must be physically
counted to determine quantities on hand.
 Quantities of items sold are determined indirectly by
subtracting the units on hand from the sum of the
units in the beginning inventory and units purchased
during the year.
Perpetual inventory system
 An inventory system which provides a continuous
summary of goods on hand.
Page 4 of 9 www.prtc.com.ph
 Using the perpetual system, entries for revenue, cost
of goods sold, and the reduction of inventory are
recorded for each sales transaction.
 A continuous record of quantities in inventory and
items sold is maintained.
 Shrinkage is a term related to any observed
differences, attributable to a variety of possible
factors, between the inventory quantity at year-end as
indicated by the perpetual record and the actual
quantity on hand as determined by a physical
inventory.
 Benefits of a perpetual system.
1. Provides a continuous check and control
mechanism on inventory.
2. Facilitates purchasing and production planning
3. Ensures adequate on-hand inventories
4. Helps identify and measure the magnitude of
inventory shrinkage.
5. Advances in, and cost reductions relating to,
technology have made perpetual systems much
more feasible, and it’s a good thing – today’s fast-
paced, competitive business environment
magnifies the importance of a perpetual system’s
benefits.
Purchase commitments
 A lock on the inventory purchase price in advance. An
executory contract (an exchange of promises about
future actions).
 No journal entry is required to record an asset and
liability at the commitment date.
 However, when price declines take place subsequent to
the commitment and it is outstanding at the end of an
accounting period, the loss is recorded just as losses
with goods on hand are recognized (i.e., as with LCM,
in the period in which the inventory price decline took
place).
 Acquisition of the goods in a subsequent period is also
recorded.
1. Purchases are recorded at current market value.
2. Difference between current market value of goods
and total amount owed per the purchase
commitment is reflected by the removal of the
estimated loss on purchase commitments account
(a balance sheet account created above).
 Current loss recognition is not appropriate when:
1. Commitments can be cancelled,
2. Commitments provide for price adjustment,
3. Hedging transactions prevent losses, or
4. Declines do not suggest reductions in sales prices.
 If, prior to delivery, the market price increases, the
estimated loss on purchase commitments account is
reduced and a gain is recorded, though such
“recovery” can only be recognized to the extent of the
original loss recorded.
Using inventory information for financial analysis
Inventory balances are often used to measure a company’s
efficiency in using that asset to generate sales.
Inventory turnover evaluates the inventory position and
the appropriateness of its size (cost of goods sold/ average
inventory).
