Market = Replacement Cost

Lower of Cost or Replacement Cost

Loss should be recorded when loss occurs, not in the

period of sale.

A company abandons the historical cost principle when

the future utility (revenue-producing ability) of the asset

drops below its original cost.

Decline in the RC usually = decline in selling price.

RC allows a consistent rate of gross profit.

If reduction in RC fails to indicate reduction in utility, then

two additional valuation limitations are used:

► Ceiling - net realizable value and

► Floor - net realizable value less a normal profit margin.

Why use Replacement Cost (RC) for Market?

Net realizable value (NRV) is the is the estimated selling

price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably

predictable costs of completion and disposal (often referred

to as net selling price).Illustration 9-2

Ceiling – prevents overstatement of the value of obsolete,

damaged, or shopworn inventories.

Floor – deters understatement of inventory and

overstatement of the loss in the current period.

P9-1: Remmers Company manufactures desks. The company attempts to obtain a 20% gross margin on selling price. At December 31, 2012, the following finished desks appear in the company’s inventory.

The 2012 catalog was in effect through November 2012, and the 2013 catalog is effective as of December 1, 2012.

Instructions: At what amount should each of the four desks appear in the company’s December 31, 2012, inventory, assuming that the company has adopted a lower-of-FIFO-cost-or-market approach for valuation of inventories on an individual-item basis?

Use of an Allowance—Multiple Periods

Lower-of-Cost-or-MarketLower-of-Cost-or-MarketLower-of-Cost-or-MarketLower-of-Cost-or-Market

In general, accountants leave the allowance account on the

books. They merely adjust the balance at the next year-end to

agree with the discrepancy between cost and the lower-of-

cost-or-market at that balance sheet date.Illustration 9-10

Expense recorded when loss in utility occurs. Profit on sale recognized at the point of sale.

Inventory valued at cost in one year and at market in the next year.

Net income in year of loss is lower. Net income in subsequent period may be higher than normal if expected reductions in sales price do not materialize.

LCM uses a “normal profit” in determining inventory values, which is a subjective measure.

E9-7: Larsen Realty Corporation purchased a tract of unimproved land for $55,000. This land was improved and subdivided into building lots at an additional cost of $30,000. These building lots were all of the same size but owing to differences in location were offered for sale at different prices as follows. Operating expenses allocated to this project total $18,200.

► Generally seller retains title to the merchandise.

► Buyer recognizes no asset or liability.

► If material, the buyer should disclose contract details in

footnote.

► If the contract price is greater than the market price,

and the buyer expects that losses will occur when the

purchase is effected, the buyer should recognize a

liability and a corresponding loss in the period during

which such declines in market prices take place.

LO 5 Determine ending inventory by applying the gross profit method.

Substitute Measure to Approximate Inventory

(1) Beginning inventory plus purchases equal total goods to

be accounted for.

(2) Goods not sold must be on hand.

(3) The sales, reduced to cost, deducted from the sum of

the opening inventory plus purchases, equal ending

inventory.

49 LO 8 Determine ending inventory by applying the LIFO retail methods.

Primary reason to use LIFO

Tax advantages.

Results in a better matching of costs and revenues.

The use of LIFO retail is made under two assumptions:

1. stable prices and

2. fluctuating prices.

50 LO 8 Determine ending inventory by applying the LIFO retail methods.

Stable Prices—LIFO Retail Method

A major assumption of the LIFO retail method is that the

markups and markdowns apply only to the goods purchased

during the current period and not to the beginning inventory.

Beginning inventory is excluded from the cost-to-retail

percentage.

LIFO RETAIL METHODS

Assume that the ending inventory for 2013 at retail is $50,000. Notice that the 2012 layer is reduced from $11,000 to $5,000.

54 LO 8 Determine ending inventory by applying the LIFO retail methods.

Fluctuating Prices—Dollar-Value LIFO Retail

If the price level does change, the company must eliminate

the price change so as to measure the real increase in

inventory, not the dollar increase.

55 LO 8 Determine ending inventory by applying the LIFO retail methods.

Illustration: Assume that the beginning inventory had a retail market

value of $10,000 and the ending inventory had a retail market value of

$15,000. Assume further that the price level has risen from 100 to 125.

It is inappropriate to suggest that a real increase in inventory of

$5,000 has occurred. Instead, the company must deflate the ending

inventory at retail.Illustration 9A-4

Changing from Conventional Retail to LIFO

Illustration: Hackman Clothing Store employs the conventional

retail method but wishes to change to the LIFO retail method

beginning in 2013. The amounts shown by the firm’s books are as

follows.

Hakeman Clothing can then quickly approximate the ending inventory for 2012 under the LIFO retail method.

The difference of $500 ($11,250 - $10,750) between the LIFO retail method and the conventional retail method is the amount by which the company must adjust beginning inventory for 2013.

Purchase Commitments

Purchase commitments are contracts that obligate a company to purchase a specified amount of merchandise or

raw materials at specified prices on or before specified dates.

In In July 2011, the Lassiter Company. signed two purchase commitments.The first requires Lassiter to purchase inventory for $500,000 by

November 15, 2011. The inventory is purchased on November 14, andpaid for on December 15. On the date of acquisition, the inventory had a market value of $425,000. The second requires Lassiter to purchase inventory for $600,000 by February 15, 2012. On December 31, 2011,

the market value of the inventory items was $540,000. OnFebruary 15, 2012, the market value of the inventory items was$510,000. Lassiter uses the perpetual inventory system and is a

calendar year-end company.

Let’s make the journal entries for these commitments.

RELEVANT FACTS

GAAP permits the use of LIFO for inventory valuation. IFRS prohibits its use. FIFO and average cost are the only two acceptable cost flow assumptions permitted under IFRS. Both sets of standards permit specific identification where appropriate.

In the lower-of-cost-or-market test for inventory valuation, IFRS defines market as net realizable value. GAAP defines market as replacement cost subject to the constraints of net realizable value (the ceiling) and net realizable value less a normal markup (the floor). IFRS does not use a ceiling or a floor to determine market.
