1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. A company should abandon the historical cost principle when the future utility of the inventory item falls below its original cost. The lower-of-cost-or-market method is used for inventory despite being less conservative than valuing inventory at market value. The purpose of the floor in lower-of-cost-or-market considerations is to avoid overstating inventory. Application of the lower-of-cost-or-market rule results in inconsistency because a company may value inventory at cost in one year and at market in the next year. GAAP requires reporting inventory at net realizable value, even if above cost, whenever there is a controlled market with a quoted price applicable to all quantities. A reason for valuing inventory at net realizable value is that sometimes it is too difficult to obtain the cost figures. In a basket purchase, the cost of the individual assets acquired is determined on the basis of their relative sales value. A basket purchase occurs when a company agrees to buy inventory weeks or months in advance. Most purchase commitments must be recorded as a liability. If the contract price on a noncancelable purchase commitment exceeds the market price, the buyer should record any expected losses on the commitment in the period in which the market decline takes place. When a buyer enters into a formal, noncancelable purchase contract, an asset and a liability are recorded at the inception of the contract. The gross profit method can be used to approximate the dollar amount of inventory on hand. In most situations, the gross profit percentage is stated as a percentage of cost. A disadvantage of the gross profit method is that it uses past percentages in determining the markup. When the conventional retail method includes both net markups and net markdowns in the cost-to-retail ratio, it approximates a lower-of-cost-or-market valuation. In the retail inventory method, the term markup means a markup on the original cost of an inventory item. In the retail inventory method, abnormal shortages are deducted from both the cost and retail amounts and reported as a loss.

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Fourteenth Edition The inventory turnover ratio is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by the ending inventory on hand. The average days to sell inventory represents the average number of days sales for which a company has inventory on hand. The LIFO retail method assumes that markups and markdowns apply only to the goods purchased during the period.

1. Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS with respect to the accounting for inventories. 1. Key Similarities are (1) the guidelines on who owns the goodsgoods in transit, consigned goods, special sales agreements, and the costs to include in inventory are essentially accounted for the same under IFRS and U.S. GAAP; (2) use of specific identification cost flow assumption, where appropriate; (3) unlike property plant and equipment, IFRS does not permit the option of valuing inventories at fair value. As indicated above, IFRS requires inventory to be written down, but inventory cannot be written up above its original cost; (4) certain agricultural products and minerals and mineral products can be reported at net realized value using IFRS.

Key differences are related to (1) the LIFO cost flow assumptionU.S. GAAP permits the use of LIFO for inventory valuation. IFRS prohibits it use. FIFO and average-cost are the only two acceptable cost flow assumptions permitted under IFRS; (2) lower-of-cost-or-market test for inventory valuationIFRS defines market as net realizable value. U.S. GAAP on the other hand defines market as replacement cost subject to the constraints of net realizable value (the ceiling) and net realizable value less a normal markup (the floor). That is, IFRS does not use a ceiling or a floor to determine market; (3) inventory write-downsunder U.S. GAAP, if inventory is written down under the lower-of-cost-or-market valuation, the new basis is now considered its cost. As a result, the inventory may be written back up to its original cost in a subsequent period. Under IFRS, the write-down may be reversed in a subsequent period up to the amount of the pervious write-down. Both the write-down and any subsequent reversal should be reported on the income statement; (4) The requirements for accounting and reporting for inventories are more principles-based under IFRS. That is, U.S. GAAP provides more detailed guidelines in inventory accounting. 2. Explain the main obstacle to achieving convergence in the area of inventory accounting. 2. IFRS specifically prohibits the LIFO cost flow method. Conversely, the LIFO cost flow assumption is widely used in the United States because of its favorable tax advantages. In addition, many argue that LIFO from a financial reporting point of view provides a better matching of current costs against revenue and therefore a more realistic income is computed. The problem is compounded in the United States because LIFO cannot be used for tax purposes unless it is used for financial reporting purposes. As a result, unless the tax law is changed, it is unlikely that U.S. GAAP will eliminate the use of the LIFO cost flow assumption because of its substantial tax advantages for many companies. Also, U.S. GAAP has more detailed rules related to accounting and reporting of inventories than IFRS. We expect that these more detailed rules will be used internationally because they provide practical guidance for some inventory accounting and reporting issues.
