Valuations Issues

1
1. Lower of Cost or Market

Required by GAAP*
◦ Inventory must be reported at LCM

Theory
◦ should not report inventory at a value higher
than benefits to be received from selling it

Stated reason: “conservative approach”

1a. Lower of Cost or Market

Definition of market
◦ cost to replace the item (replacement cost)
◦ really “lower of cost or constrained market”

Ceiling
◦ market can’t exceed NRV
◦ NRV = selling price – selling costs

Floor
◦ market can’t be lower than NRV less normal profit
◦ floor = NRV – normal profit margin
Can apply to individual items, groups of items, or whole
inventory
 Does not apply to damaged or deteriorated goods

1c. Other Valuation Bases

Valuation at Net Realizable Value
◦ e.g., recognizing revenue at completion of
production

Valuation using Relative Sales Value
◦ basket purchase
◦ meat-packing plant

2. Purchase Commitments
Generally seller retains title to merchandise
Buyer recognizes no asset or liability
If material, the buyer should disclose contract
details in footnote
 If contract price > the market price, and buyer
expects that losses will occur when purchase
made



◦ buyer should recognize liability and corresponding
loss in period when market declined

Omit Hedging

3. Inventory Estimation Methods

Gross profit method
◦ based on relationship between sales and gross
profit
◦ not acceptable for financial reporting or taxes

Retail method
◦ used by large volume retailers
◦ dollar based method – not unit based method
◦ acceptable for financial reporting and taxes

4. Gross Profit Method

Based on assumptions that
◦ gross profit is constant from period-to-period
◦ sales mix of products is constant

Used to estimate inventory value


$200
$120
$ 80
GP % = 80/200 = 40%
CGS% = 120/200 = 60%
GP% on sales = 80/200 = 40%
GP% on cost = 80/120 = 66⅔%
ACCT-3030
GP on Sales =
GP on Costs
1 + GP on Costs

4a. Gross Profit Method

Example
A hurricane destroyed the entire inventory stored in a
warehouse. The following information is available from
the company’s records.
Beginning inventory
$220,000
Purchases
$400,000
Sales
$600,000
Historical gross profit rate
30%
Required: Estimate the cost of the destroyed inventory.

4a. Gross Profit Method

Example — Solution
Beginning inventory (from records)
Plus: Net purchases (from records)
Cost of goods available for sale
Less: Cost of goods sold:
Net sales
Less: Estimated gross profit of 30%
Estimated cost of goods sold
Estimated cost of inventory destroyed

5. Retail Method
Method is based on the pattern between
the cost and retail value of the goods
 Method requires:

1. total costs of goods purchased
2. total retail value of goods available for sale
3. total sales

Companies always keep 1 & 3
◦ with this method also must keep 2

5b. Retail Method

Ratios – computed as:
cost of goods available for sale
retail value of goods available for sale

Based on how ratio computed, can be used
to approximate following methods:
◦
◦
◦
◦
average – include everything
LCM – exclude markdowns (conventional retail method)
FIFO – exclude beginning inventory
LIFO – compute separate ratio for each layer
