Study Notes
Inventory Reporting
- Inventory is reported as a current asset on the balance sheet.
- Items held for sale are classified as inventory in the normal course of business.
Types of Inventory
- Work-in-process refers to products that are partially completed in production.
- Inventory costing methods include FIFO, LIFO, Weighted Average, and Specific Identification.
Income Statement Structure
- A multiple-step income statement delineates various levels of income.
- Nonoperating revenues and expenses appear immediately after operating income.
Costing Methods
- FIFO (First-In, First-Out) assumes that the first units acquired are the first sold.
- LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) assumes that the oldest units remain in ending inventory.
- Average Cost Method averages the cost of goods available for sale to determine ending inventory.
- Specific Identification Method matches each inventory unit with its actual cost, suited for unique and expensive items.
LIFO Reserve

- It reflects the cost variance of inventory based on the LIFO method compared to FIFO.
Cost Components
