Document Summary

This approach is generally associated with a perpetual inventory system because it maintains an up-to-date balance in the inventory account at all times. Most large retailers use perpetual inventory systems that not only monitor inventory quantities, but also automatically issue purchase orders to replenish inventory on hand. The purchase order instructs the supplier to send specified quantities of particular products on certain dates. Fob shipping point: terms of sale indicating that goods are owned by the buyer the moment they leave the seller"s premises. Fob destination: terms of sale indicating that goods are owned by the seller until delivered to the buyer. A purchaser should include in the inventory account any costs needed to get the inventory into a condition and location ready for sale. Costs that are incurred after the inventory has been made ready for sale, such as freight-out to deliver goods to customers, should be treated as selling expenses.
