    Study Notes

    Calculating Acquisition Costs (AK)

    • AK is calculated for each item on the balance sheet
    • Items on the balance sheet are grouped by similar characteristics for easier calculations.
    • The initial balance and inflows are added, then outflows are subtracted.
    • The results are displayed in a chart.
    • The average cost (durchschnittwert) is calculated.
    • The average cost is then multiplied by the number of items to get a total cost.
    • Any discrepancies between the calculated AK and the balance sheet value must be explained.

    Inventory Valuation (UV)

    • UV is calculated in the same manner as AK.
    • It's important to note that the initial balance and inflows are combined first and then outflows are subtracted.
    • This result is presented in a table format.
    • The average cost is used for calculations.
    • The average cost is then multiplied by the number of items remaining to calculate the total cost.
    • The calculated UV is compared with the value shown on the balance sheet, with any discrepancies noted and explained.

    Differences between AK and UV

    • The way AK and UV are calculated differs in that AK is applied for the entire period whereas UV is applied for a single point in time.
    • Any period changes should be explicitly noted.
