Inventory valuation is very important in computing federal income tax because the value placed on the inventory determines the net income reported.

A firm that uses a periodic inventory system sells a single product that had a beginning inventory of 5,000 units with a total cost of $35,000. Early in the year, 12,000 units were purchased at $9 each and 4,000 units were on hand at the end of the year. Using FIFO, what is the amount of Cost of Goods Sold?

Following the consistency principle, once a firm adopts a method of inventory valuation, it should use that method consistently from one period to the next.

With the onset of universal product codes and bar-code scanners that track inventory purchased and sold, a physical inventory is no longer necessary to verify inventory on hand.

A physical inventory should be taken annually, at a minimum, to verify the quantity of goods on hand.

The--------- method of estimating ending inventory involves estimating the cost of goods sold by applying a company's cost/sales ratio to its sales for the current period.

To calculate the cost-to-retail ratio, merchandise available for sale at retail prices is divided by the merchandise available for sale at cost.

What is the specific identification method for valuing inventory? What types of businesses are likely to use this method? Why?

The following data concerns selected inventory items. Determine the amount to be reported as the inventory valuation at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower, under each of the following methods. 1. Lower of cost or net realizable value for each item separately 2. Lower of total cost or net realizable value in total 3. Lower of total cost or net realizable value by department

The lower of cost or net realizable value rule can be applied on an item-by-item basis, by group or by comparing total inventory at cost to total inventory valued at net realizable value.

The disclosure principle requires a company to reveal the costing method used to value inventory.

Cost ratio is calculated by

A company has inventory with a sales value of $34,000, current net realizable value of $22,000 and a total cost of $23,400. Since the sales value exceeds both cost and net realizable value, no write down in inventory value is required.

A firm that uses a period system sells a single product that had a beginning inventory of 9,000 units with a total cost of $45,000. Early in the year, 15,000 units were purchased at $6 each. At the end of the year there were 4,000 units on hand. Using LIFO, what is the value of the ending inventory of 4,000 units?

The lower the ending inventory valuation, the---------- the cost of goods sold.

In periods of falling prices, the inventory valuation procedure that results in the highest ending inventory value is

Inventory valuation methods that are acceptable internationally include all of the following except:

Under the retail inventory method, if the gross profit ratio is 45% and ending inventory at retail is $67,000, then estimated ending inventory is $36,850.
