Document Summary

Preparing financial statements: when preparing a balance sheet and an income statement, companies need to classify their costs as product or period, remember: The matching principle is based on the accrual concept that costs incurred to generate a particular revenue should be recognized as expenses in the same period that the revenue is recognized. Product costs are initially assigned to an inventory account on the balance sheet. When the goods are sold, the costs are released from inventory as expenses (cogs) and matched against sales revenue on the income statement. Aka inventoriable costs because initially assigned to inventories. ** recorded in the period in which the products are sold *: period costs: all the costs that are not product costs include all selling and administrative costs. Not included as part of the cost of either purchased or manufactured goods instead, they are expensed on the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
