Specific unit cost 2. First-in, first-out (FIFO) cost 3. Last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost 4. Average cost 5.2 Inventory Costing Methods 1. Specific unit cost The company knows exactly which item was sold and exactly what the item cost.  Suitable for businesses that sell unique, easily identified inventory items, such as automobiles (identified by the vehicle identification number [VIN]), jewels (a specific diamond ring), and real estate (identified by address) 5.2 Inventory Costing Methods 2. First-in, first-out (FIFO) cost  The cost of goods sold is based on the oldest purchases.  Often reflects the actual physical flow of merchandise.  Under FIFO, companies sell their oldest inventory first. FIFO method assumes earliest goods purchased are the first to be sold International Financial Accounting Chapter 5: Merchandise Inventory MA. Nguyen Quoc Nhat- [email protected] 3 5.2 Inventory Costing Methods 3. Last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost  The cost of goods sold is based on the most recent purchases (new costs)  Under the LIFO method, companies sell their newest inventory first. LIFO method assumes latest goods purchased are the first to be sold 5.2 Inventory Costing Methods 4. Average cost The business computes a new average cost per unit after each purchase. Ending inventory and cost of goods sold are then based on the same average cost per unit. An average price is calculated and applied to all goods MA. Nguyen Quoc Nhat Allocation of the cost of goods available for sale in average cost method is made on the basis of the weighted average unit cost Average cost method assumes that goods available for sale are homogeneous 5.2 Inventory Costing Methods International Financial Accounting Chapter 5: Merchandise Inventory MA.

LCM shows accounting conservatism in action and requires that inventory be reported in the financial statements at whichever is lower: ● the historical cost of the inventory, or ● the market value of the inventory. 5.4 Lower-of cost-or-market rule Market is defined as replacement cost or net realizable value. + If the replacement cost of inventory is less than its historical cost, the business must adjust the inventory value. + If the inventory market is greater than cost, then we don’t adjust the inventory account because of the conservatism principle. 5.4 Lower-of cost-or-market rule Suppose Smart Touch paid $3,000 for its CD01 inventory. By July 31, the inventory can now be replaced for $2,200, and the decline in value appears permanent. 5.3 Estimating Ending Inventory . 5.3 Estimating Ending Inventory .
