Chapter 9 Inventory
- Perpetual system: beginning inventory + inventory acquired during period COGS = ending inv cost
o Inventory purchase is recorded as debits to inventory asset, COGS credited to the asset and DR to
COGS expense
o Internal control, stock shortage of inventory easily determined BUT v costly
o Sales COGS inventory shortage = gross profit
- Periodic method: beginning inventory DR + purchases DR ending inventory CR = inventory sold COGS DR
(no need to report COGS during period using periodic method)
o Sales, COGS (opening inventory, purchases, COGS available for sale ending inventory)

Document Summary

Perpetual system: beginning inventory + inventory acquired during period cogs = ending inv cost. Inventory purchase is recorded as debits to inventory asset, cogs credited to the asset and dr to. Internal control, stock shortage of inventory easily determined but v costly: sales cogs inventory shortage = gross profit. Nature of inventory (raw materials/stores, work in progress, finished g, land held for resale), tech, cost-benefit. Cost flow assumption: fifo (first acquired first sold), lifo, weighted avg method: allocate available cost differently between b/s valuation and the expense in the income statement. Lifo: in times of rising prices, results lower value of ending inventory (higher cogs lower profit (taxable: tax implication), does not match closing physical flow, closing inventory may not be relevant, not in. Weighted avg: q/p: assigns available cost equally to inventory asset and to cogs expense. When prices are changing, each method provides different ending inventory and cogs value. Sum of these two items always be the same.
