TRUE-FALSEConceptual
1.

A company should abandon the historical cost principle when the future utility of the
inventory item falls below its original cost.

2.

The lower-of-cost-or-net realizable method is used for inventory despite being less
conservative than valuing inventory at net realizable value.

3.

Application of the lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value rule results in inconsistency


because a company may value inventory at cost in one year and at net realizable value in
the next year.

4.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require that a company record an


inventory write-down as part of cost of goods sold.

5.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), when companies value


inventory using the lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value (LCNRV), in most situations,
companies price inventory on a totalinventory basis.

6.

Biological assets, such as milking cows, are reported as non-current assets at fair value
less costs to sale (net realizable value).

7.

The unrealized gains and losses related to recording biological assets at their correct
valuation are reported as part of other comprehensive income on the statement of
comprehensive income.

8.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), net realizable value is the
general rule for valuing commodities held by broker-traders.

9.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), separate reporting of reversals


of inventory write-downs in the period of sale are required.

10.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), agricultural activity can result in
the production of both agricultural produce and biological assets.

11.

An inventory of wheat held by a broker-trader is valued at net realizable value.

12.

Agricultural produce is harvested from biological assets and is measured at fair value less
costs to sell at the point of harvest.

13.

In a basket purchase, the cost of the individual assets acquired is determined on the basis
of their relative standalone sales value.

14.

A basket purchase occurs when a company agrees to buy inventory weeks or months in
advance.

15.

Most purchase commitments must be recorded as a liability.

16.

If the contract price on a noncancelable purchase commitment exceeds the market price,
the buyer should recognize a liability and corresponding loss in the period in which the
market decline takes place.

Inventories: Additional Valuation Issues

9-3

17.

When a buyer enters into a formal, noncancelable purchase contract, an asset and a
liability are recorded at the inception of the contract.

18.

In late 2015, Daisy Company entered into a noncancelable purchase contract for which
the contract price is now greater than the market price, and Daisy expects that losses will
occur when the purchase is executed in early 2016. Under IFRS, Daisy should recognize
a liability and corresponding loss in 2015.

19.

Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), a company who recorded a


loss on a purchase commitment in 2015 cannot record a recovery of that loss in 2016 if
prices improve.

20.

The gross profit method can be used to approximate the dollar amount of inventory on
hand.

21.

In most situations, the gross profit percentage is stated as a percentage of cost.

22.

A disadvantage of the gross profit method is that it uses past percentages in determining
the markup.

23.

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-net realizable value valuation.

24.

In the retail inventory method, the term markup means a markup on the original cost of an
inventory item.

25.

In the retail inventory method, abnormal shortages are deducted from both the cost and
retail amounts and reported as a loss.

26.

The inventory turnover is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by the ending
inventory on hand.

27.

The average days to sell inventory represents the average number of days sales for
which a company has inventory on hand.

28.

Under IFRS, LIFO is permitted for financial reporting purposes if the companys host
country permits it for tax purposes.

29.

Under U.S. GAAP, if inventory is written down under lower-of-cost-or-market, it may not be
written back up to its original cost in a subsequent period.

30.

IFRS requires inventory to be written down below its original cost in some situations, but
inventory cannot be written up above its original cost.

Reed Mangus purchased the Hillside Vineyard at an estate auction in April 2015 for 1,250,000.
The purchase was risky because the growing season was coming to an end, the grapes must be
harvested in the next several weeks, and Reed has limited experience in carrying off a grape
harvest.
At the end of the first quarter of operations, Reed is feeling pretty good about his early
results. The first harvest was a success; 500 bushels of grapes were harvested with a value of
50,000 (based on current local commodity prices at the time of harvest). And, given the strong
yield from area vineyards during this season, the net realizable value of Reeds vineyard has

9 - 38

Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting: IFRS Edition, 2e

increased by 25,000 at the end of the quarter. After storing the grapes for a short period of time,
Reed was able to sell the entire harvest for 60,000.
Instructions
(a) Prepare the journal entries for the Hillside biological asset (grape vines) for the first
quarter of operations (the beginning carrying and net realizable value is 1,250,000).
(b) Prepare the journal entry for the grapes harvested during the first quarter.
(c) Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the grapes harvested in the first quarter.

and agricultural produce.
