ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Inventoriable costs are $3,010 (invoice cost $3,000 + freight charges $70 purchase
discounts $60). The amount paid to negotiate the purchase is a buying cost that normally
is not included in the cost of inventory because of the difficulty of allocating these costs.
Buying costs are expensed in the year incurred.
2. Taking a physical inventory involves actually counting, weighing or measuring each kind
of inventory on hand. Retailers, such as hardware stores, generally have thousands of
different items to count. This is normally done when the store is closed. Tom will probably
count items and mark the quantity, description, and inventory number on prenumbered
inventory tags.
Purchased inventory in transit shipped FOB shipping point will have to be included in
inventory. Inventory that has been shipped to customers FOB destination and not
received by the customer before year-end will also have to be included in the count.
Finally, any inventory held by other retailers on consignment will have to be included in
the count as well.
3. (a) (1) The goods will be included in Janine Ltd.s inventory if the terms of sale
are FOB destination.
(2) They will be included in Fastrak Corporations inventory if the terms of sale are
FOB shipping point.
(b) Janine Ltd. should include goods shipped to a consignee in its inventory. Goods held
by Janine Ltd. on consignment should not be included in inventory
4. Actual physical flow may be impractical because many items are indistinguishable from
one another. Actual physical flow may also be inappropriate because management may
be able to manipulate net income through specific identification of items sold.
5

Because the specific identification method requires that records be kept of the original
cost of each individual inventory item it is possible to manipulate the cost of goods sold
by deliberately selecting to sell inventory items with higher or lower costs.
LIFO values the cost of goods sold at the most recent purchase price, therefore a
company could decide to buy or delay buying inventory at year-end to manipulate the
cost of goods sold.

6. (a) Average cost


(b) LIFO
(c) FIFO

Questions (Continued)
7.

(1) No effect cash is not affected by inventory cost flow assumptions


(2) In a period of declining prices FIFO will produce a lower ending inventory as
inventory is valued using the most recent (lower) prices; LIFO will produce a higher
ending inventory as ending inventory is valued at the higher older prices.
(3) The cost of goods sold effect is opposite to that of ending inventory. Hence, cost of
goods sold will be higher under FIFO and lower under LIFO.
(4) Because of the effect on the cost of goods sold, net earnings will be lower under
FIFO and higher under LIFO.

8. Plato Ltd. is using the FIFO cost flow assumption of inventory costing, and York Ltd. is
using the LIFO cost flow assumption. Under FIFO, the latest goods purchased remain in
inventory. Thus, the inventory on the balance sheet should be close to current costs. The
reverse is true of the LIFO cost flow assumption. Plato Ltd. will have the higher gross
profit because cost of goods sold will include a higher proportion of goods purchased at
earlier (lower) costs.
9. Swift Corporation may experience severe cash shortages if this policy continues. All of its
net earnings is being paid out as dividends, yet some of the earnings must be reinvested
in inventory to maintain inventory levels. Some earnings must be reinvested because net
earnings is calculated with cost of goods sold based on older, lower costs while the
inventory must be replaced at current, higher costs. Because of this factor, net earnings
under FIFO are sometimes referred to as phantom profits.
10. No. Selection of an inventory cost flow assumption is a management decision made to
best match costs to revenues. However, once an assumption has been chosen, it should
be consistently applied.
11. (a) Mila Ltd.s 2004 net earnings will be understated $5,000; (b) 2005 net earnings will be
overstated $5,000; and (c) the 2005 retained earnings will be correct.
12. Assets will be understated because the items will not be included in inventory. If the
items are not in inventory, management will assume they have been sold or lost through
spoilage or theft. If the items are not in the inventory they will be expensed and therefore
the shareholders equity will also be understated. Liabilities will not be affected.
13. Lucy should know the following:
(a) A departure from the cost basis of accounting for inventories is justified when the
value of the goods is no longer as great as its cost. The write down to market should
be recognized in the period in which the price decline occurs.
(b) Market means current replacement cost or net realizable value. For a merchandising
company, current replacement cost is the cost at the present time from the usual
suppliers in the usual quantities. Other companies use net realizable value, which is
the selling price less the purchase cost and any disposal costs.

Questions (Continued)
14. Rock Music Centre should report the CD players at $320 each for a total of $1,600. $320
is the net realizable value under the lower of cost and market basis of accounting for
inventories. A decline in replacement cost recognizes losses as soon as they are evident
so as not to impact decision making unfavourably. Valuation at LCM is conservative.
15. Agree. Effective inventory management is frequently the key to successful business
operations. Management attempts to maintain sufficient quantities and types of goods to
meet expected customer demand. It also seeks to avoid the cost of carrying inventories
that are clearly in excess of anticipated sales.
16. An inventory turnover ratio that is too high may indicate that the company is losing sales
opportunities because of inventory shortages. Inventory outages may also cause
customer ill will and result in lost future sales.
17. An increase in the days in inventory ratio from one year to the next would be seen as
deterioration in the companys efficiency in managing inventory. It means that more
inventory is being held relative to sales.
18. Periodic and perpetual inventory systems differ in the accounting treatment for
inventories. Under a perpetual inventory system inventory records are updated for every
purchase and sale transaction. The cost of goods sold is recorded each time a sale is
made. Under a periodic system, the inventory is only updated at the end of the period
when a physical inventory count is performed. Inventory purchases throughout the year
are debited to a purchases account. When a sale is recorded, no entry is made to
record the cost of the sale. Cost of goods sold is calculated separately after the physical
inventory count is performed.
*19. Disagree. The results under the FIFO cost flow assumption are the same but the results
under the LIFO cost flow assumption are different. The reason is that the pool of
inventoriable costs (costs of goods available for sale) is not the same. Under a periodic
system, the pool of costs is the goods available for sale for the entire period, whereas
under a perpetual system, the pool is the goods available for sale up to the date of sale.
*20. In a periodic system, the average is a weighted average based on total goods available
for sale for the period. In a perpetual system, the average is a moving average of goods
available for sale after each purchase.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES


BRIEF EXERCISE 6-1
(a) Ownership of the goods belongs to the consignor (Helgeson). Thus, these goods should
be included in Helgesons inventory.
(b) Goods held on consignment belong to the other company and should not be included in
Helgesons inventory.
(c) The goods being held belong to the customer. They should not be included in Helgesons
inventory.
(d) The goods in transit should not be included in the inventory count because ownership by
Helgeson does not occur until the goods reach the buyer.
(e) The goods in transit belong to the customer because ownership transferred at the point
of shipping. They should not be included in Helgesons inventory.

BRIEF EXERCISE 6-3


(a) LIFO. The ending inventory is valued at the earlier, higher costs.
(b) FIFO. The cost of goods is valued using the earlier, higher costs.
(c) Cash flow is not affected by the inventory cost flow assumptions, therefore the pretax
income will be the same under all assumptions.
(d) The factor that management should consider when choosing an inventory cost flow
assumptions is which assumption results in the fairest matching of costs to revenues.
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-4
The overstatement of ending inventory caused cost of goods sold to be understated $7,000
and net earnings to be overstated $7,000. The correct net earnings for 2004 is $83,000
($90,000 - $7,000).
Total assets in the balance sheet will be overstated by the amount that ending inventory is
overstated, $7,000.

(d) Do not include in inventory - Because the shipping terms are FOB shipping point,
ownership has transferred to the customer. Shippers Ltd should record this amount as a
sale on the statement of earnings.
(e) Do not include in inventory Because the shipping terms are FOB destination, Shippers
does not own the supplies until they arrive at Shippers premises.
(f) Include in inventory Shipping terms FOB shipping point means that ownership
transferred at the time of shipping and therefore, Shippers Ltd. owns the goods in transit.

EXERCISE 6-3
(a) FIFO Cost of Goods Sold
(#1012) $500 + (#1045) $450 = $950
(b) It could choose to sell specific units purchased at specific costs if it wished to impact
earnings selectively. If it wished to minimize earnings it would choose to sell the units
purchased at higher costsin which case the Cost of Goods Sold would be $950. If it
wished to maximize earnings it would choose to sell the units purchased at lower costs
in which case the cost of goods sold would be $850.
(c) I recommend they use the FIFO cost flow assumption because it provides a more
appropriate balance sheet valuation and reduces the opportunity to manipulate earnings.
(The answer may vary depending on the assumption the student chooses.)

(b) The FIFO cost flow assumption will produce the highest ending inventory because costs
have been rising. Under this assumption, the earliest costs are assigned to cost of goods
sold, and the latest costs remain in ending inventory.
(c) The LIFO cost flow assumption will produce the highest cost of goods sold for Lakshmi
Ltd. Under LIFO the most recent costs are charged to cost of goods sold and the earliest
costs are included in the ending inventory.
(d) The selection of a cost flow assumption does not affect cash flow. Cash flow is
determined by purchases and payments not the allocation of costs between cost of
goods sold and ending inventory.

net earnings will be understated. Over the two years the error will reverse and therefore the
2005 retained earnings balance will be correct.
The $3,000 understatement of inventory in 2005 will cause the 2005 cost of goods sold to be
overstated and the 2005 net earnings and retained earnings to be understated by $3,000.

Before correction

$45,000 $210,000

$41,000 $210,000

$64,000 $250,000

=19.5%

= 25.6%

(d) Dear Mr./Ms. President:


Because your ending inventory of December 31, 2004 was overstated by $4,000, your
net earnings for 2004 were overstated and net earnings for 2005 were understated by
$4,000.
In a periodic system, the cost of goods sold is calculated by deducting the cost of ending
inventory from the total cost of goods you have available for sale in the period.
Therefore, if this ending inventory figure is overstated, as it was in December 2004, the
cost of goods sold is understated and therefore net earnings will be overstated by that
amount. Consequently, this overstated ending inventory figure goes on to become the
next periods beginning inventory amount and is a part of the total cost of goods available
for sale. Therefore, the mistake repeats itself in the reverse.
The effect on the gross profit margin is significant. Before correction the margin was
21.4% in 2004 and increased 2.6% to 24.0% in 2005. After the error is corrected the
margin for 2004 is19.5% and the increase is 6.1% to 25.6% in 2005.
Thank you for allowing me to bring this to your attention. If you have any questions,
please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Gross Profit Margin
2002

2001

$19,597.0 - $14,858.0
24.2%
$19,597.0
$15,326.6 - $12,100.1
21.1%
$15,326.6

The inventory turnover ratio decreased by approximately 10% [(7.4-8.2) 8.2] from 2002 to
2001. The days in inventory increased by approximately the same amount over the same
time period. Both of these changes would be considered negative since it appears it is taking
the company longer to turn over its inventory.
Best Buys gross profit margin increased slightly from 21.1% to 24.2%. This means that Best
Buys selling prices increased faster than their cost of sales.
EXERCISE 6-10
(a) There was probably an insignificant difference between the two cost flow assumptions on
the total inventory because overall, prices may not have changed significantly. Inventory
cost flow assumptions assume that prices are rising or falling, with such a variety of
inventory items, price increases on some items may be offset by decreases on other
items causing the inventory changes between the two assumptions to be minimal.
(b) Inventory Turnover

FIFO: $191,808 $23,902

= 8.03

LIFO: $191,838 $23,752

= 8.08

(c) LIFO gives the higher inventory turnover


(d) The choice of inventory cost flow assumption is a way of matching the cost of inventory
to revenue. The actual physical movement of inventory will be the same regardless of
which cost flow assumption is adopted. Therefore, Wal-Marts inventory will turn over at
the same rate regardless which cost flow assumption is used by the company.

(c) The average cost is not the simple average or a weighted average because average cost
under the perpetual inventory system is referred to as a moving weighted average, which

PROBLEM 6-3A (Continued)


(c) Dear Real Novelty Inc.
After preparing the comparative condensed statement of earnings for the
year ended December 31, 2004 under the FIFO, average cost, and LIFO
cost flow assumptions, we have found the following:
1. The FIFO cost flow assumption produces the most meaningful
inventory amount for the balance sheet because the units are costed at
the most recent purchases. This assumption is most likely to
approximate actual physical flow because the oldest goods are usually
sold first to minimize spoilage and obsolescence.
2. The LIFO cost flow assumption produces the most meaningful net
earnings because the costs of the most recent purchases are matched
against sales.
3. The LIFO cost flow assumption produces the most meaningful gross
profit figure because it values the cost of goods sold at the most current
prices.
4. The FIFO cost flow assumption is most likely to approximate actual
physical flow because the oldest goods are usually sold first to minimize
spoilage and obsolescence.
5. None of the cost flow assumptions have an impact on cash flow.
Therefore cash available to management should be the same under all
assumptions.
Sincerely,

(e) Inventory turnover is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by average
inventory. Reducing the value of the inventory will increase the inventory
turnover ratio.

PepsiCos liquidity appears to be low. Its current ratio is just over 1:1. This
means that its current assets are just sufficient to cover its current liabilities. It
has 42 days sales in inventory, which seems reasonable and is likely normal for
the industry. The problem may be in its immediate liquidity, or its receivables.

$603 $1,342
= 45%
$570 $1,310

$529 $1,192
= 44.4%

Pepsi Cos total inventory has increased over the past three years. However,
the company seems to be carrying a higher level of work in progress and
finished goods and fewer raw materials. It would seem that the company is
taking steps to minimize the amount of resources tied up in raw materials while
having more finished goods on hand.
(c) Slightly higher inventories would result in a small decrease in then inventory
turnover ratio. In this case however, the inventory turnover ratio increased
slightly meaning that cost of goods sold increased at a greater percentage
than the inventory.

The results for the average cost flow assumption differ depending on whether a
perpetual or periodic system is used. This is because using a perpetual system
the average cost is recalculated after each purchase.

Net cash flow will be the same under either assumption, as cash flow is

Gross profit will be higher under the FIFO assumption as it produces a
lower cost of goods sold because CGS is valued at the oldest (lowest)

PROBLEM 6-3B (Continued)


(c) Dear Tumatoe Inc.
After preparing the comparative condensed statement of earnings for the
year ended December 31, 2004 under the FIFO, average cost, and LIFO
cost flow assumptions, we have found the following:
1. The FIFO cost flow assumption produces the most meaningful
inventory amount for the balance sheet because the units are costed at
the most recent purchases.
2. The LIFO cost flow assumption produces the most meaningful net
earnings because the costs of the most recent purchases are matched
against sales.
3. The FIFO cost flow assumption is most likely to approximate actual
physical flow because the oldest goods are usually sold first to minimize
spoilage and obsolescence.
4. None of the cost flow assumptions have an impact on cash flow.
5. The factors that management should consider when choosing an
inventory cost flow assumption is which assumption results in the fairest
matching of costs to revenues.
You should choose the cost flow assumption that best fits the nature of
your inventory items and your pattern of selling.
Sincerely,

Ending Inventory = 501 @ $9.05 = $452.50

25 + 60 65 + 10 + 25 - 5 = 50

(d)

Ending inventory should be valued at $350 (50 units @ $7.00) which is


the lower of cost or market.

(e)

The decline in the inventory would cause the inventory turnover ratio to
increase and therefore cause the days in inventory ratio to decrease.

CoolBrands current ratio declined slightly in 2002 but is still above the
industry average of 1.42:1. This indicates that CoolBrands appears to
have sufficient current assets to cover its current liabilities. However, this
may not be the case because there is a very slow moving inventory
included in this figure. In 2002 Cool Brands inventory turnover declined to
levels below that experienced by the rest of the industry. This may
indicate that the company is having trouble selling its inventory, which
could have an impact on future liquidity.
(b)

If CoolBrands were to switch to LIFO and prices are rising it would be


expected that inventory levels would be lower since inventory would now
be carried at the earlier lower costs versus the most recent costs (as is
the case under FIFO). The inventory turnover ratio should increase since
the denominator (average inventory) would be lower and the days in
inventory should decrease. The current ratio would also decrease
because current assets would be lower.

Net cash flow will be the same under either assumption, as cash flow is not

2.

Gross profit will be higher under the FIFO cost flow assumption as it

at the oldest (lowest) prices.

3.

FIFO produces the higher ending inventory balance because inventory is

Inventories were $1,702 in 2002 and $1,512 in 2001.

(b)

Inventories increased $190 in 2002. Using 2001 as the base year, the increase was
approximately 12.6% ($190 $1,512). In 2002, inventories were 48.3% of current
assets ($1,702 $3,526). In 2001 they were 49% ($1,512 $3,086).

(c)

Cost of sales is not reported separately in Loblaws statement of earnings. Cost of sales
are reported with selling and administrative expenses. Loblaw may not report it
separately because it feels it would provide competitors with valuable information.

BYP 6-3 RESEARCH CASE


(a)

If the inventory is no longer needed then its market value will decline. If the
companies have entered into long-term supply contracts they may be forced to
purchase the inventory at the higher contract price and then immediately write it
down because of the decline in the market price due to excess supply.

(b)

Nortels inventory write-off in 2001 was $1.1 billion.

(c)

Nortels inventory turnover in 2001 was 11.1 and 7.3 in 2000. The turnover ratio
increased in 2001 because the large inventory write down decreased the carrying
value of the inventory on the balance sheet. This caused the denominator of the
inventory turnover ratio to be less, leading to a higher inventory turnover ratio.

(d)

A danger sign to watch for concerning the carrying values of inventory is when the
inventory value is growing faster than the value of sales.

BYP 6-4 INTERPRETING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a)

By not valuating its inventory in excess of market Cooper is using the lower of cost or
market to value its inventory.

(b)

The company may be taking steps to better manage its inventories and reduce the
amount of working capital tied up in inventory by introducing inventory management
techniques such as reducing the need for raw materials though improving supplier
relationships or by reducing finished goods inventory by implementing better customer
ordering systems.

(c)

The company probably uses FIFO to value its nondomestic inventories due to the fact
that many countries do not permit the use of LIFO as a means of inventory valuation.
Therefore for foreign reporting it is easier to value the nondomestic inventories initially
using FIFO rather then having to convert LIFO based numbers to FIFO after the fact.

The companys inventory turnover improved slightly in 2002. This companys inventory
is also turning over faster than the industry average of 6.8 times per year. This may
indicate that the company is better managing its inventory costs when compared to
other companies in the industry.
(e) If the company had used FIFO the 2002 ending inventory would have been ($280,641+
$52,336 = $332,977). This would be an immaterial difference from the perspective of
the analyst as it causes very little change in the companys inventory turnover ratios.
FIFO is a better measure of ending inventory as it values ending inventory at the most
recent purchase costs.

BYP 6-5 A GLOBAL FOCUS


(a)

One reason Fuji makes adjustments is that by reporting using U.S. accounting
standards it makes it easier for U.S. investors to evaluate the company. This increases
the chances that it will attract U.S. investors. The U.S. financial markets are the largest
in the world, and thus represent a huge source of potential capital. The second reason it
might adjust its figures to comply with U.S. standards is that the United States
represents a huge market for its product. In recent years Fuji has taken a large share of
the U.S. film market away from Kodak. If it attracts U.S. citizens to invest in its shares,
these people are also more likely to buy its products.

(b)

Fuji uses the perpetual inventory system to account for most of its inventory. The note
on Inventories state that it uses moving average cost flow assumption, which is
consistent with a perpetual inventory system.

(c)

They may use different cost flow assumptions because the cost of using moving
average for some inventories may be greater than the benefit it provides.

Fuji is holding a higher percentage of finished goods, while Kodak is holding a higher
percentage of work-in-process and raw materials. This difference could be explained by a
difference in their respective forecasts of the future. For example, maybe Fuji predicted an
upturn in demand before Kodak did. Or, it could be a reflection of their different
manufacturing practices. Perhaps Kodak holds items in finished goods for a shorter period of
time. The difference also might be due to differences in the amount of work that they
outsource. That is, it may be that one buys some of its product at least partially
manufactured.

Subject:

2003 Ending Inventory Error

The combined gross profit and net earnings for 2003 and 2004 are correct. However, the
gross profit and net earnings for each year are incorrect.
As you know, 2003 ending inventory was overstated by $1 million. This error will cause 2003
net earnings to be incorrect because the ending inventory is used to calculate 2003 cost of
goods sold. Since the ending inventory is subtracted in the calculation of cost of goods sold,
an overstatement of ending inventory results in an understatement of cost of goods sold and
therefore and overstatement of net earnings.
Unless corrected, this error will also affect 2004 net earnings. The 2003 ending inventory is
also the 2004 beginning inventory. Therefore, 2004 beginning inventory is also overstated,
which causes an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of 2004 net
earnings.
If the error is not corrected the gross profit and net earnings for 2003 and 2004 will be
incorrect. Because the error one year reverses in the next year the trend will be misleading.

(c)

The stakeholders are the shareholders, customers, and staff of Discount Diamonds.
The practice is unethical if management selects which diamonds to sell based solely on
a desire to manipulate profits.

(d)

Discount Diamonds should select FIFO. This cost flow assumption provides the best
balance sheet valuation and is not subject to manipulation.
