We hereby inform you that your goods will be delivered
tomorrow (How long it is likely to take)
We hope that the goods will arrive in perfect condition
We look forward to doing business with you again

A written document from the seller to the buyer
that accompanies a delivery of goods and
specifies type of goodsand quantity

Goods received note
A document produced when goods are received into the factory It will usually accompany goods
to any inspection and is used to check against invoices before payment
(made by the buyer)

(a) That the goods have been delivered and are in
satisfactory condition(check goods received
note)
(b) That the price and terms are as agreed (look
at the purchase order)
(c) That the calculations on the invoice are
correct (including sales tax (or VAT))

Materials requisitions
department An official from production will sign the form to authorize it
It is then used as a source document for:
(a) Updating the bin card in stores;
(b) Updating the stores ledger account in the costing department; and
(c) Charging the job, overhead or department that is using the materials
(compare with Purchase requisitions)
18
Bin cards
a. Description
b. Inventory code
c. Inventory units
d. Bin number
e. Issues to production
f. Receipts
g. Balance
Stores ledger accounts
They carry all the information that a bin card does, but there are two important differences:
Cost details are recorded in the stores ledger account
The stores ledger accounts are written up and kept separate from the stores by a clerk experienced in costing bookkeeping
Trang 6Two inventory accounting systems
Perpetual inventory system
Periodic inventory system
21
Perpetual inventory system
A perpetual inventory system continuously records both changes in inventory quantity and inventory cost
22
Illustration
purchases soft drinks from producers and then sells
them to retailers The company begins 2003 with
merchandise inventory of $120,000 on hand During
2003 additional merchandise is purchased on account
at a cost of $600,000 Sales for the year, all on
account, totaled $820,000 The cost of the soft drinks
sold is $540,000 Lothridge uses the perpetual
inventory system to keep track of both inventory
quantities and inventory costs.
23
Periodic inventory system
A periodic inventory system adjusts inventory and records cost of goods sold only at the end
of each reporting period
Cost goods sold equation Beginning inventory + Net purchases – Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold

system
25
The cost of inventory
Give your treatment with these costs:
a. Manufacturing overhead
b. Waste
c. Storage cost
d. Trade discount
e. Handling cost
f. Selling cost
g. Interest cost
h. Transportation cost 26
A comparison of two systems
A perpetual inventory system provides more
timely information but generally is more
costly than a periodic inventory system
The cost of inventory
Includes all necessary expenditures to acquire
the inventory and bring it to its desired condition and location for sale or for use in the manufacturing process
Trang 8Expenditures included in inventory
Freight-In on Purchases (transportation-in)
Purchase Returns
Purchase Discounts

Purchase Discounts
On October 5, 2003, the Lothridge Wholesale Beverage Company purchased merchandise at a price of $20,000 The repayment terms are stated as 2/10, n/30 Lothridge paid $13,720 ($14,000 less the 2% cash discount) on October
14 and the remaining balance of $6,000 on November 4 Lothridge employs a periodic inventory system

Gross method
Gross method vs vs Net method Net method
By either method, net purchases is reduced by
discount taken
Discount not taken are included as purchases
using the gross method and as interest expense
using the net method

Pricing techniques
Inventory valuation
32
Trang 9Pricing techniques
(a) FIFO – First in, first out
(b) LIFO – Last in, first out
(c) Weighted average pricing method
(d) Specific cost
33
IAS 2
For items that are not interchangeable, specific cost are attributed to the specific individual items of inventories
For items that are interchangeable , IAS 2 allows the FIFO and weighted average cost formulas
The LIFO formula, which had been allowed prior to the
2003 revision of IAS 2, is no longer allowed
The same cost formula should be used for all inventories with similar characteristics as to their nature and use to the enterprise
34
(a) FIFO
(a) FIFO – – First in, first out First in, first out
Values issues at the price of the oldest items
in inventory at the time the issues were
made
The remaining inventory thus will be valued
at the price of the most recent purchases
FIFO FIFO Advantages Advantages
It is logicalas the oldest stock is likely to be used first: Easyto understand and explain
Closing stock is valued near replacement cost
Trang 10FIFO
FIFO Disadvantages Disadvantages
Cumbersometo operate because of the need to
identify each batch of material separately
Variety of price for the same material may
make it difficult to compare cost and make
decision
37
(b) LIFO (b) LIFO – – Last in, first out Last in, first out
the opposite of FIFO Issues will be valued
at the price of the most recent purchases ; hence the remaining inventory will be valued at the price of the oldest items
38
LIFO
LIFO Advantages Advantages
Issue at cost close to current market value
make it easy for decision making
39
LIFO LIFO Disadvantages Disadvantages
Cumbersometo operate because of the need to identify each batch of material separately:
Difficult to explain as it is opposite to what is physically happening
Variety of price for the same material may make it difficult to compare cost and make decision

(c) Weighted average pricing method
Cumulative weighted average pricing:
calculating average cost whenever a new delivery is received
Periodic weighted average pricing: calculating average cost at the end of a given period
42
Periodic weighted average
Periodic weighted average pricing pricing
Issue price = (Cost of all receipts in the period +
Cost of opening inventory)/(Number of units
received in the period + Number of units of
opening inventory)

Trang 12Inventory Evaluation
Inventories might be valued at
1 Expected selling price
2 Net realizable value (NRV)
(= expected selling price – cost incurred in getting
them ready for sale and then selling them)
3 Historical cost
4 Current replacement cost
45
Pricing Pricing Inventory at Inventory at
Lower of Cost or Market (LCM)
In US, “market” for LCM purpose can be defined as replacement cost which should not:
- Exceed the net realizable value
- Be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin
LCM requires that when the market price of inventory falls below historical cost, the inventory is written down to the lower value and a loss is recorded
LCM can be applied to individual inventory items,
to logical category of inventory, or to the entire of
