Describe the cost of inventory under the periodic inventory system, using the FIFO, LIFO, and average cost methods. After studying this chapter, you should be able to: 4 Compare and contrast the use of the three inventory costing methods. 5 Describe and illustrate the reporting of merchandise inventory in the financial statements. 6 Inventories (continued) 7-3
1 Describe the importance of control over inventory. 7-4
1 Two primary objectives of control over inventory are: • Safeguarding the inventory, and • Properly reporting it in the financial statements.
1 • The purchase order authorizes the purchase of the inventory from an approved vendor. • The receiving report establishes an initial record of the receipt of the inventory. • The amount of inventory is always available in the subsidiary inventory ledger.
1 Controls for safeguarding inventory should include security measures to prevent damage and customer or employee theft. Some examples of security measures include the following: • Storing inventory in areas that are restricted to only authorized employees.
1 • Locking high-priced inventory in cabinets. • Using two-way mirrors, cameras, security tags, and guards.
1 A physical inventory or count of inventory should be taken near year-end to make sure that the quantity of inventory reported in the financial statements is accurate.

2 Inventory Costing Methods
2 May 10 Purchase 1 $ 9 18 Purchase 1 13 24 Purchase 1 14 Total 3 $36 Average cost per unit $12 ($36 ÷ 3 units)
2 Assume that one unit is sold on May 30 for $20. Depending upon which unit was sold, the gross profit varies from $11 to $6 as shown below:
2 Under the specific identificationinventory cost flow method, the unit sold is identified with a specific purchase. Not practical unless each inventory unit can be separately identified.
2 Under the first-in, first out (FIFO)inventory cost flow method, the first units purchased are assumed to be sold and the ending inventory is made up of the most recent purchases.
2 Under the last-in, first out (LIFO)inventory cost flow method, the last units purchased are assumed to be sold first and the ending inventory is made up of the first units purchased.
2 Under the average inventory cost flow method, the cost of the units sold and in ending inventory is an average of the purchase costs.
Exhibit 1 2 Effect of Inventory Costing Methods on Financial Statements FIFO Method Income Statement Sales $20 Cost of merchan- dise sold 9 Gross profit $11 (continued)
Exhibit 1 2 Effect of Inventory Costing Methods on Financial Statements (continued) LIFO Method Income Statement Sales $20 Cost of merchan- dise sold 14 Gross profit $ 6 (continued)
Exhibit 1 2 Effect of Inventory Costing Methods on Financial Statements (continued) Average Cost Method Income Statement Sales $20 Cost of merchan- dise sold 12 Gross profit $ 8 $36 ÷ 3 = $12 $12 × 2 = $24
Exhibit 2 2 Inventory Costing Methods* *Firms may be counted more than once for using multiple methods
2 Example Exercise 7-1 Cost Flow Methods The three identical units of Item QBM are purchased during February, as shown below. Item QBMUnitsCost Feb. 8 Purchase 1 $ 45 15 Purchase 1 48 26 Purchase 1 51 Total 3 $144 Average cost per unit $48 ($144 ÷ 3 units) Assume that one unit is sold on February 27 for $70. Determine the gross profit for February and ending inventory on February 28 using (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) average cost methods. 7-22
For Practice: PE 7-1A, PE 7-1B Follow My Example 7-1 2 Example Exercise 7-1 (continued) Gross ProfitEnding Inventory • First-in, first-out (FIFO): $25 ($70 – $45) $99 ($48 + $51) • Last-in, first-out (LIFO): $19 ($70 – $51) $93 ($45 + $48) • Average cost: $22 ($70 – $48) $96 ($48 × 2) 7-23
