Merchandise inventory is the value of goods a company plans to sell for profit.
Goods that are purchased primarily in finished form from wholesalers and retailers.
Cost of merchandise inventory includes purchase price plus any other costs necessary to
get the goods in condition and location for sale.
Merchandise inventory includes all goods that have been purchased but not yet sold. This
unsold inventory is categorized as a current asset on a company’s balance sheet.
REI, Wal-Mart, and Amazon.com are called merchandising companies because they buy and sell
merchandise rather than perform services as their primary source of revenue.
Merchandising companies that purchase and sell directly to consumers are called retailers.
Merchandising companies that sell to retailers are known as wholesalers.
Manufacturing Inventory
Goods that are produced by a manufacturing company to be sold to wholesalers, retailers, or
other manufacturers.
Consists of:
Raw materials
Work in process
Finished goods
Manufacturing inventory or Production inventory is one of the many types of inventory. It
includes stock of all parts and materials that is available with a manufacturing firm for use.
For a manufacturing company, this is an essential type of inventory.
2. Discuss the following terms about inventories
Goods in transit:- are the products or materials which already leaves the seller’s
warehouse but not yet received by the buyer.
Goods on consignment:- is a type of selling arrangement in which the seller
agrees to forward the goods to a buyer, with the understanding that payment for
those goods will be received when the buyer is able to sell them to his or her
customers.
Sales return and allowances refer to the sales adjustment as a result of the return
of goods or merchandise inventory or a reduction from the original selling price due
to damages or defective goods or products. Sales return and allowances are the
contra account of the sales revenue account. It represents the adjustment to arrive
at the net sales.
(PP&E) is a non-current, tangible capital asset shown on the balance sheet of a
business and is used to generate revenues and profits. PP&E plays a key part in
the financial planning and analysis of a company’s operations and future
expenditures, especially with regards to capital expenditures.
3. Discuss the accounting treatments for property, plant and equipment.
Acquisition of PP&E
Acquisition is the process through which one entity gains possession or takes over the
ownership of a particular PPE. The different modes of acquiring PPE includes purchase,
construction, exchange transaction, non-exchange transaction, transfer and finance
lease.
Depreciation of PP&E
The other major component of the PP&E formula is depreciation. Depreciation reduces the
value of property, plant, and equipment on the balance sheet as the value of assets is lowered
over time due to wear and tear and the reduction of their useful life. The depreciation expense
is used to reduce the value of the net balance and it flows to the income statement as an
expense.
PP&E Formula
Net PP&E = Gross PP&E + Capital Expenditures – Accumulated Depreciation
To illustrate:
In May 2017, Factory Corp. owned PP&E machinery with a gross value of $5,000,000.
Accumulated depreciation for the same machinery was $2,100,000. Due to the wear and tear of
the machinery, the company decided to purchase another $1,000,000 in new equipment.
For this period, the depreciation expense for all old and new equipment is $150,000.
Thus, the ending balance is $3,750,000. This is found by taking $5,000,000 + $1,000,000 –
$2,100,000 – $150,000.
Capital Expenditures
As the above formula shows, Capital Expenditures (often referred to as Capital Expenditure for
short) are what is added to the net property, plant, and equipment balance on the balance
sheet. When the company spends money investing in either
(1) updating existing equipment, or
(2) purchasing new additional equipment, this adds to the total PP&E balance on the balance
sheet.
Disposal of PP&E.
The financial accounting term disposition of property, plant, and equipment refers to the
disposal of the company's assets. This can include the sale, exchange, abandonment, and
involuntary termination of the asset's service. Disposition of plant typically results in a gain or
loss appearing on the company's income statement.
Companies can dispose of assets voluntarily through their sale or exchange. Involuntary
conversions can also occur, which is the termination of the asset's serviceable life due to an
unwanted event such as a fire, flood, or even theft. Regardless of the disposal process,
depreciation continues up to the point in time this occurs, and the accounts associated with the
asset must be removed from the company's books.
Since depreciation is a function of serviceable life, and not the asset's market value, it would be
rare for the book value of the asset to be equal to its disposal value. Typically, companies realize
a gain or loss on the disposition of plant and equipment. In theory, that loss or gain should have
been reflected on the income statement during the asset's serviceable life. In practice, the gain or
loss appears in the current accounting period.
If the disposition involves a business segment, the gain or loss should be reported along with
other gains or losses associated with discontinued operations. All other transactions would be
categorized as continuing operations.
Example : Company A entered into an agreement to sell Company XYZ its two year old widget
maker for $80,000. The original cost of the widget maker was $120,000, and the asset was being
depreciated over four years. Accumulated depreciation was $60,000 on this equipment. The gain
or loss on the sale would be calculated as:
The following journal entries are needed to remove the asset from the company's books:
Debit Credit
Cash $80,000
Accumulated Depreciation $60,000
Gain on Disposal $20,000
Accountable……..620,000 A/payable…………….620,000
