    Study Notes

    Valuation of Purchased Inventories

    • Inventory is valued at the end of the accounting period based on physical stock-taking.
    • The correct value for inventory is needed for the balance sheet.
    • The correct value for the cost of goods sold is needed for the income statement.
    • Inventory is recorded in the balance sheet under current assets.
    • Inventory accounts include: raw materials and consumables, goods for resale, work in progress, and finished goods.
    • The cost of acquisition is the price paid for the inventory.
    • Market value is the current price for the inventory.
    • If the market value is less than the cost of acquisition, the inventory is written down to the lower value.
    • Reversal of write-offs occurs if the market value subsequently increases above the cost of acquisition.
    • The specific identification method values inventory based on the specific cost of each item.
    • The FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method assumes that the oldest inventory is sold first.
    • The LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method assumes that the newest inventory is sold first.
    • The weighted average method calculates the average cost of all inventory items.
    • The weighted average method includes the overall weighted average price method and the moving weighted average price method.

    Determination of Change in Inventory

    • The change in inventory is the difference between the opening inventory and the closing inventory.
    • If the opening inventory has a value of €1,000 and the closing inventory has a value of €1,600, the change in inventory is €600.

    Market Test

    • This test is used to determine if the market value of the inventory is less than the cost of acquisition.
    • The company OMEGA KAPPA plc has an opening inventory of €1,000.
    • Using the FIFO method, the closing inventory is €1,600.
    • Using the market value, the closing inventory is €1,120.
    • In this case, the market value is less than the cost of acquisition.
    • The inventory is written down to the market value of €1,120.

    Inventory Valuation Methods

    • Common inventory valuation methods include FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average.
    • FIFO values inventory based on the principle that the oldest inventory is sold first.
    • LIFO values inventory based on the principle that the newest inventory is sold first.
    • The weighted average method calculates the average cost of all inventory items.

    Valuation of Manufactured Inventories and Contracts in Progress

    • Manufactured inventories and contracts in progress are valued using the manufacturing price.
    • The manufacturing price is the cost of producing the goods or services.
    • If the market value is less than the manufacturing price, the inventory is written down to the lower value.
    • Direct costing includes only direct manufacturing costs in the cost of goods sold.
    • Full costing includes both direct and indirect manufacturing costs in the cost of goods sold.
    • Contracts in progress are valued using the percentage of completion method or the completed contract method.
    • The percentage of completion method recognizes revenue and profit as work progresses on the contract.
    • The completed contract method recognizes revenue and profit only when the contract is complete.

    Introduction to End-of-Period Entries

    • All purchases are recorded on an expense account during the accounting period.
    • All sales are recorded on a revenue account during the accounting period.
    • The balance of the inventory account remains unchanged during the accounting period.
    • At the end of the accounting period, the inventory account is adjusted for changes in inventory.
    • Physical stock-taking is used to determine the value of inventory on hand.
    • Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value.
    • The cost of goods sold is calculated using the inventory valuation method chosen.
