There are two widely accepted procedures for approximating the value of inventory, namely the gross
1 profit method and the retail inventory method. Retail
The cost of goods sold can be computed as net sales multiplied by cost ratio. This formula is used
2 when the gross profit rate is based on sales.
3 The “sales ratio” is simply computed by adding 100% to the gross profit rate based on cost.
The gross profit rate on sales is the common way of quoting gross margin because goods are stated
4 on a sale price basis, rather than on a cost basis.
If the gross profit is cost of goods sold, then cost is 100% and if the basis is sales then the net sales is
5 100%.
Sales allowance and sales discount are ignored, that is, not deducted from sales. The reason is that
6 while these items decrease the amount of sales, they do not affect the physical volume of goods sold.
In sales allowance, there is no physical transfer of goods from the customer but a mere reduction in
7
the sales price.
The gross profit method is not valid when the gross margin percentage changes significantly during
8 the year.
The use of gross profit method assumed the relationship between selling price and cost of goods sold
9 is similar to prior years.
1 The retail inventory method came to its name because the selling price or retail price is tagged to each
0 item.
1 The term “retail” simply means selling price.

1 Retail inventory method; Treatment of item:
2 Purchase discount – deducted from purchases at cost only.
1 Retail inventory method; Treatment of item:
3 Sales discount and sales allowance – disregarded, meaning not deducted from sales.
1 Retail inventory method; Treatment of item:
4 Employee discounts – added to sales.
1 Retail inventory method; Treatment of item:
5 Departmental transfer out or credit – deduction from purchases at cost and retail.
1 Markup cancelation is the decrease in sales price that does not decrease the sales price below the
6 original sales price.
1 Net markdown is the markdown minus markdown cancelation.
7
1 To obtain the appropriate inventory value under the retail inventory method, three approaches are
8 followed, namely conservative, average and FIFO approach.
1 The average cost approach includes both net markup and net markdown in determining cost ratio.
9
2 The FIFO retail approach is similar to the average cost approach in that it considers both net markup
0 and net markdown in computing the cost ratio.
2 The FIFO approach is based on the assumption that markup and markdown apply to goods
1 purchased during the year and not to beginning inventory.
2 An inventory method which is designed to approximate inventory valuation at the lower of cost and net
2 realizable value is conventional retail method.
2 In retail method, it is necessary that the goods available for sale should be determined not only in
3 terms of selling price but also in terms of cost.
2 The retail inventory method is generally employed by department stores, supermarkets and other
4 retail concerns where there is a wide variety of goods.
Required:
Compute the ending inventory applying the conservative
retail and determine any inventory shortage.
