Exercise 9-1 (Algo) Lower of cost or net realizable value [LO9-1]
Herman Company has three products in its ending inventory.
Specific per unit data at the end of the year for each of the products are as follows:
 
  Product 1   Product 2   Product 3
Cost $ 21     $ 91     $ 51  
Selling price   43       123       73  
Costs to sell   7       42       11  


Required:
What unit values should Herman use for each of its products when applying the lower of cost or net realizable value

(LCNRV) rule to ending inventory?
 

 
Explanation
NRV = Selling price less costs to sell.
 
Product NRV per unit
1 $ 43 $ 7 = $ 36  
2 $ 123 $ 42 = $ 81  
3 $ 73 $ 11 = $ 62  

 

 
Exercise 9-2 (Algo) Lower of cost or net realizable value [LO9-1]
The inventory of Royal Decking consisted of five products. Information about the December 31, 2021, inventory is as follows:
 
  Per Unit
Product Cost Selling Price


A $ 60   $ 80  


B   100     120  


C   60     100  


D   60     90  


E   20     30  







Costs to sell consist of a sales commission equal to 10% of selling price and shipping costs equal to 5% of cost.
 
Required:
What unit value should Royal Decking use for each of its products when applying the lower of cost or net realizable value

(LCNRV) rule to units of ending inventory?
 

 
Explanation
NRV = Selling price less costs to sell. Costs to sell = 10% of selling price and 5% of cost.
 
Product Selling price   Cost NRV per unit
A $ 80     $ 60   $80 − (10% × $80) − (5% × $60) = $69
B   120       100   $120 − (10% × $120) − (5% × $100) = $103
C   100       60   $100 − (10% ×  $100) − (5% × $60)  = $87
D   90       60   $90 − (10% ×  $90)  − (5% × $60) = $78
E   30       20   $30 − (10% × $30) − (5% × $20) = $26

Estimated loss from fire         $ 1,320,000  

 
 

 
Exercise 9-11 (Algo) Gross profit method [LO9-2]
Royal Gorge Company uses the gross profit method to estimate ending inventory and cost of goods sold when preparing monthly
financial statements required by its bank. Inventory on hand at the end of October was $59,900. The following information for the
month of November was available from company records:
 
 
Purchases $ 124,000  
Freight-in   4,400  
Sales   250,000  
Sales returns   19,000  
Purchases returns   5,500  


In addition, the controller is aware of $6,500 of inventory that was stolen during November from one of the company's warehouses.
 
Required:
1. Calculate the estimated inventory at the end of November, assuming a gross profit ratio of 40%.

 

 

 
Explanation
1.
Net purchases ($124,000 – $5,500) = 118,500
Net sales ($250,000 – $19,000) = $231,000
Estimated gross profit of 40% = 92,400
 
2.
Mark-up as a % of cost ÷ (1 + Mark-up as a % of cost) = Gross profit as a % of sales.
60% ÷ 160% = 37.5%
 
Net purchases ($124,000 – $5,500) = 118,500
Net sales ($250,000 – $19,000) = $231,000
Estimated gross profit of 37.5% = 86,625

Smith Company adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, 2016, when it had an inventory of $690,000. Its inventory as of
December 31, 2016, was $758,100 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.05. What was DVL inventory on December 31, 2016?

$723,600
 
Reason:
$758,100/1.05 = $722,000
giving 2 layers of $690,000 and $32,000.
$690,000 x 1.0 = $690,000
$32,000 x 1.05 = $33,600
$690,000 + $33,600 = $723,600

Feather Company's inventory is recorded at its historical cost of $100,000. The replacement cost currently is $95,000;
estimated selling price is $102,000; estimated selling cost is $5,000; normal profit is $10,000. The estimated net realizable value of the inventory is

$97,000.

$102,000 - $5,000

 

 
Smith Company's inventory cost is $100. The expected sales price is $110, estimated selling costs are $6.
The normal gross profit ratio is 20% of selling price. The replacement cost of the inventory is $95.
Smith Company uses the LIFO inventory method so must use the lower of cost or market approach and this inventory item should be valued at

$95
 

 
Berta Company recently lost its entire inventory in a fire. The following information is available from its accounting records:
Beginning inventory: $1,000; purchases: $13,000; net sales: $20,000. The company's average gross profit percentage is 40%.
Using the gross profit method, a reasonable estimate of cost of goods sold for this past period would be

$12,000.

$20,000 x (1 - 40%) = $12,000

 

 
Applying the retail inventory method to approximate the lower of average cost or market value is often referred to as the

conventional retail method.
 

 
The lower of cost or market approach is _____ for companies that use _____.

required under GAAP; LIFO or the retail inventory
 

 
Tore Company's records reveal the following information regarding its inventory. Beginning inventory was $100,000 at cost and 160,000 at retail.
Purchases during the year were $300,000 at cost and $500,000 at retail. Markups were $10,000 and markdowns, $20,000. Assuming the conventional
retail method and net sales of $500,000, ending inventory at cost would be

$89,550

Reason:
Markdowns are excluded from the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage

Cost $400,000 ($100,000+$300,000)
divided by Retail of $670,000 ($160,000+$500,000+$10,000) =59.7% x estimated ending inventory at retail
= ($160,000 + $500,000 + $10,000 - $20,000 - $500,000) =
59.7% x $150,000 =
$89,550
 

 
Net realizable value of inventory is determined by subtracting selling cost from the

expected sales price.
 

 
The _____ method assumes that units sold are those most recently acquired.

LIFO
 

 
Smith Company's inventory cost is $100. The expected sales price is $110, estimated selling costs are $6.
The normal gross profit ratio is 20% of selling price. The replacement cost of the inventory is $95.
Smith Company uses the LIFO inventory method so must use the lower of cost or market approach and this inventory item should be valued at

$100

Ceiling is NRV = $110 - 6 = $104. Floor is NRV less normal profit of 20% so $104 - 22 = $82.

Replacement cost is $95. Market is the middle of these three values so = $95
compared to cost of $100. Market is lower so record at market.
 

 
Berta Company recently lost its entire inventory in a fire. The following information is available from its accounting records:
Beginning inventory: $1,000; purchases: $13,000; net sales: $20,000. The company's average gross profit percentage is 40%.
Using the gross profit method, a reasonable estimate of the lost inventory would be

$2,000.
 
Reason:
$1,000 + 13,000 = $14,000 goods available for sale
Net sales $20,000 less gross profit 40% = $12,000
$14,000 - 12,000 = 2,000
 

 
The retail inventory method is also referred to as the _____ retail method. (Enter only one word.)

conventional
 

 
Tore Company's records reveal the following information regarding its inventory.
Beginning inventory was $100,000 at cost and 160,000 at retail. Purchases during the year were $300,000 at cost and $500,000 at retail.
Markups were $10,000 and markdowns, $20,000. Assuming the conventional retail method is used and net sales were $500,000,
ending inventory at retail would be (round the cost-to-retail percentage to two digits after the decimal point)

$150,000

$160,000 + $500,000 + $10,000 - $20,000 - $500,000 = $150,000

 

 
A LIFO liquidation occurs when there is _____ in inventory quantity.

a net decrease
 

 
Western Company recently lost its entire inventory in an earthquake. The following information is available from its accounting records:
Beginning inventory: $5,000; purchases: $18,000; net sales: $40,000. The company's average gross profit percentage is 40%.
Using the gross profit method, a reasonable estimate of cost of goods sold for this past period would be:

$24,000

$40,000 x (1 - 40%) = $24,000

 

 
In a period when costs are rising and inventory quantities are stable, the inventory method that would result in the highest ending inventory is:

FIFO

Brief Exercise 8-7 (Algo) Inventory cost flow methods; periodic system [LO8-4]
Samuelson and Messenger (SAM) began 2021 with 360 units of its one product.
These units were purchased near the end of 2020 for $25 each.
During the month of January, 180 units were purchased on January 8 for $28 each and another 360 units were purchased on January 19 for $30 each.
Sales of 140 units and 260 units were made on January 10 and January 25, respectively. There were 500 units on hand at the end of the month.
SAM uses a periodic inventory system.
 
Required:
1. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for January using FIFO.
2. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for January using average cost.

 


 
Explanation
1.
Cost of goods available for sale:
             
Beginning inventory (360 × $25)       $ 9,000  
Purchases:            
180 × $28 $ 5,040        
360 × $30   10,800     15,840  
Cost of goods available (900 units)       $ 24,840  

 
First-in, first-out (FIFO)
       
Cost of goods available for sale (900 units) $ 24,840  
Less: Ending inventory (determined below)   (14,720 )
Cost of goods sold $ 10,120  

 
Cost of ending inventory:
Date of purchase Units Unit cost Total cost
January 8 140 $ 28     $ 3,920  
January 19 360   30       10,800  
Total           $ 14,720  

 
2.
Average cost
       
Cost of goods available for sale (900 units) $ 24,840  
Less: Ending inventory (determined below)   (13,800 )
Cost of goods sold $ 11,040 *

 
Cost of ending inventory:
Weighted-average unit cost =  $24,840  = $27.60
900 units
500 units × $27.60 = $13,800
 
*Alternatively, could be determined by multiplying the units sold by the average cost:
400 units × $27.60 = $11,040

 
 

 
Brief Exercise 8-12 (Algo) Supplemental LIFO reserve disclosures; Walgreens [LO8-6]
Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., reported inventories of $2,325 million and $2,452 million in its August 31, 2017, and August 31, 2016,
balance sheets, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the year ended August 31, 2017, was $30,444 million. The company uses primarily
the LIFO inventory method. A disclosure note reported that if FIFO had been used instead of LIFO, inventory would have been higher by
$304 million and $275 million at the end of the August 31, 2017, and August 31, 2016, periods, respectively.
 
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year ended August 31, 2017, assuming Walgreens used FIFO instead of LIFO. (Enter your answer in millions.)

 
Cost of goods sold: 30,415 Million.
 
Explanation
Cost of goods sold for the year ended August 31, 2017, would have been $29 million lower had Walgreens used FIFO for its LIFO inventory.
The LIFO reserve increased in 2017 by $29 million, from $275 million to $304 million. An increase in the LIFO reserve has the effect of increasing cost of goods sold when converting from FIFO to LIFO. So, to convert in the opposite direction from LIFO to FIFO, we would subtract the increase in the LIFO reserve from the LIFO amount of cost of goods sold to calculate FIFO cost of goods sold.
 
         
Cost of goods sold as reported (LIFO) $ 30,444   million
Decrease to convert to FIFO   (29 ) million
Cost of goods sold (FIFO) $ 30,415   million

TB MC Qu. 9-132 (Algo) Haskell Corporation has determined its...
Haskell Corporation has determined its year-end inventory on a FIFO basis to be $813,000. Information pertaining to that inventory is as follows:
 
       
Selling price $ 847,000  
Costs to sell   49,000  
Replacement cost   779,000  

   
What should be the reported value of Haskell’s inventory,

if the company prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)?
$798,000
 
Explanation
Under IFRS, inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
NRV = $847,000 − $49,000 = $798,000 which is less than $813,000 cost.
