1. TOPIC 6 ACCOUNTING FOR INVENTORIES

2. ACCOUNTING FOR INVENTORIES DEFINITION: FRS 102: Inventory is an asset that owned by the business for the purpose of selling to the customer. Managing inventory is done to determine: 1. Inventory on hand 2. Inventory available for sale 3. Cost of goods sold.

3. InventoryControl Establishment of responsibility: every inventory counter is accountable by different person. Segregation of duties: a person who records the inventories is not the same as the person who makes a count and also not the same with the person who distributes the inventories.

4. InventoryControl Independent Internal Verification: make a second count and verify the balance by a different person. Documentation Procedure: numbering tag or barcode is paste to the inventory and each sales is made using on-line basis. Physical, mechanical and electronic control: make a physical stock count frequently.

5. Inventory Accounting System There are two basic systems of accounting for inventories: 1. Perpetual Inventory system (Sistem Berterusan) Periodic Inventory System (Sistem Berkala)

6. Differences between these two systems:

7. Valuation of Inventory 1. First In First Out (FIFO) - first items purchase will be sold first. Last In First Out (LIFO) - last item purchase will be sold first. Weighted Average (WA) - make an average cost per unit purchase of the goods.

8. Example: The information below regarding an inventory product name AIA for year 2006: The physical stock counts on 31 Dec 2006 shows a balance of 400 units.

9. Total Stock (unit) - total Sales (unit) = Closing stock (unit) [Opening stock + Purchase] – Total Sales = Closing Stock 100 unit + 1100 unit - 800 unit = 400 unit. a) FIFO - Periodic: Cost of Good Sold: Opening Inventory 800 Add: Purchase 12,600 13,400 Less: Closing Stock 5,000 COST OF GOOD SOLD 8,400

10. b) FIFO - PERPETUAL

11. LIFO - Periodic: Cost of Good Sold: Opening Inventory 800 Add: Purchase 12,600 13,400 Less: Closing Stock 3,800 COST OF GOOD SOLD 9,600

13. WEIGHTED AVERAGE Periodic Weighted Average cost per unit = Opening Inventory + Purchases Total unit available for sale RM800 + RM12,600 (100 + 1,100) unit = RM11.17 per unit Closing Inventory = 400 unit x RM11.17 = RM4,468 COGS = 800 unit x RM11.17 = RM8,932

14. Perpetual

15. Effect of using different method: Inflation Assume that the purchase price is increasing: FIFO: The lower price of the inventory will be taken out first; this will lower down the cost of goods sold of the inventory. Thus the profit will be increased. LIFO: The higher price of the inventory will be taken out first; this will increase the cost of good sold of the inventory. Thus the profit will be decreased.

16. Deflation: - deflation (lower price of the inventory) will give a reverse situation whilst using either FIFO, LIFO or WA.

17. VALUING INVENTORY AT THE LOWER OF COST OR MARKET (LCM) An alternative method of valuing inventory in a situation of declining value of inventory : lower than cost (e.g due to changes in technology or fashion) To comply with accounting principle: Conservatism: the best choice is to select the method that is least likely to overstate asset and net income.

20. Income Statement – Periodic System ________________________________________________________ Opening Inventory 2, 000 Add: Purchase 20,000 Carriage Inward 2, 500 Import Duty 1, 500 24, 000 (-) Return Outward (1, 000) 23, 000 Cost of Goods Available for sale 25, 000 (-) Closing Stock (5, 000) Cost of Good Sold 20, 000

21. Income Statement - Perpetual System ________________________________________________ Sales xxx Less: Cost of Good Sold xx Less: Inventory Shortage xxxx Gross Profit xxx

22. EFFECT ON PROFIT: OVER/UNDERSTATE VALUE OF INVENTORY

25. OTHER CURRENT ASSET 1. SHORT TERM INVESTMENT Definition: Investment made for a period of less than one year and very easy to change or convert it in the cash term. Example: investment in Marketable securities (Treasury Bill) The objective of investment is to earn interest and dividends. Types: - investment in government bond - investment in stock of large corporation Reasons: Stock and bonds traded on organized securities markets, such as Bursa Malaysia, are readily marketable because can be bought and sold daily.
