Document Summary

Discuss how to classify and determine inventory: classifying inventory, how a company classifies its inventory depends on whether the firm is a merchandiser or a manufacturer. In a manufacturing company, some inventory may not yet be ready for sale. Conversely, high levels of raw materials and low levels of finished goods probably signal that management is planning to step up production: many companies have significantly lowered inventory levels and costs using just-in-time (jit) inventory methods. These differ in that they assume flows of costs that may be unrelated to the actual physical flow of goods. The average-cost method instead uses the average weighted by the quantities purchased at each unit cost: there is no accounting requirement that the cost flow assumption be consistent with the physical movement of the goods. Company management selects the appropriate cost flow method: to demonstrate the three cost flow methods, we will use a periodic inventory system.
