INVENTORIES
Definition of inventories -these are assets that are (1) Held for sale in the normal course of business, or (2)
In the process of production for such sale, or (3) In the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in rendering of services

Measurement of inventories
A. Initial measurement – inventories are initially measured at historical cost, which includes all costs of
purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition.

The following are excluded from the cost of inventories:

a. Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labor, or other production costs
b. Storage costs, unless these costs are necessary in the production process prior to a further production
stage
c. Administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present location and
condition, and
d. Selling costs

B. Measurement at Reporting Date- should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the course of the business less the estimated cost
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are usually written down
to net realizable value on an individual basis. However, in the circumstance where items of inventory
relate to the same product line, have similar purposes and uses, and are produced and marketed in the
same geographical area, the group of similar items basis may be more appropriate. Whichever basis is
used shall be consistently applied.

Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost
if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at cost or above cost.
However, when a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products exceeds
net realizable value, the materials are written down to net realizable value. In such circumstances, the
replacement cost of the materials may be the best available measure of their net realizable value. (PAS
2 par. 32)

If there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of change in economic condition
the amount of the previous write-down should be reversed. The amount of reversal should not exceed
the original amount of write-down that was recognized previously.

The cost formulas for inventory:

The cost of inventory that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced and segregated
for specific projects shall be assigned using specific identification of their individual costs. The cost of
inventories that are ordinarily interchangeable shall be assigned by using the FIFO or weighted average
method. An entity shall use the same cost formula for all inventories having a similar nature and use.

Establishment of the year-end inventory – a physical count is done at reporting date. Included in the
physical count are inventories owned and controlled by the enterprise that are in good, usable and salable
condition. Items to consider are:
a. Merchandise in transit – if the term of shipment is shipping point, include as inventory of the buyer but if
the term is destination, include as inventory of the seller.
b. Goods on consignment – include as inventory of the consignor.
c. Sales on approval – include as inventory of the seller
d. Special sales contract:
1. Product-financing (Sale with a buyback agreement) – also known as a park sale because the seller
parks (transfers) its inventory in the buyer’s premises thru sales contract that clearly specifies to
purchase back the same inventory over a specified period of time at a specified amount. Include as
inventory of the seller.
2. Sale but buyer is given the right to return –considered as sale if all the following conditions are met:
(a) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale, (b) the
buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent
on resale of the product, (c) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of
theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (d) the buyer acquiring the product for resale
has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller, (e) the seller does not have significant
obligations for future performance , and (f) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
3. Installment sales – goods should be considered sold or removed from inventory, even though legal
title has yet to pass to the buyer.
e. Segregated goods – mere segregation does not exclude such inventory, however, if the segregation is
due to sales contract such as special order, such inventory is excluded in the inventory of the seller.

Inventory Estimation Methods:

When inventory items cannot be physically counted because they may have been lost or when these are
presented in the interim financial statements, the value of the inventory may be estimated using the following
methods:
1. Gross Profit Method – The estimated cost of ending inventory is computed as follows:
Beginning Inventory Pxxx
Add Net Purchases xxx
Cost of Goods Available for Sale Pxxx
Less Estimated Cost of Goods Sold:
If GP is Based on Sales: (Sales - Sales Returns) x (100% - GP%)
If GP is Based on Cost: (Sales – Sales Returns) / (100% + GP%) xxx
Estimated Cost of Ending Inventory Pxxx

2. Retail Inventory Method

The retail method is often used in the retail industry for measuring inventories of large numbers of
rapidly changing items with similar margins for which it is impracticable to use other costing methods.
The cost of inventory is determined by reducing the sales value of the inventory by the appropriate
percentage of gross margin. The estimated cost of ending inventory is computed as follows:

Cost Retail FIFO Average

Cost Ratio Cost Ratio
Beginning Inventory Pxxx Pxxx
Purchases xxx xxx
Freight-in xxx
Purchase Returns (xxx) (xxx)
Purchase Allowances (xxx)
Purchase Discounts (xxx)
Additional Mark-ups, Net of Mark-up Cancellations xxx
Markdowns, Net of Markdown Cancellations (xxx)
Departmental Transfers In xxx xxx
Departmental Transfers Out (xxx) (xxx)
Totals, Excluding Beginning Inventory Pxxx Pxxx xx%
Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale Pxxx Pxxx xx%

Sales Less Sales Returns only (xxx)

Employee Discounts (xxx)
Normal Losses (xxx)
Ending Inventory Pxxx

2. A motorcycle vehicle costing P90,000 was sold for P180,000 on an instalment basis (not through credit
card) on December 10, 2021. It was delivered to the customer on the same day and the company’s
experience suggests that full payment on instalment sales is reasonably assured/probable.
3. The entity sold goods worth P150,000 (costing P80,000) under a “lay away” sales arrangement at year-
end. Payments are to be made on a monthly basis for 12 months.

You observed the physical inventory count in the warehouse on December 31, 2020 and were satisfied that it
was properly taken. Per cut-off tests, the last sales invoice with actual shipment of goods was No. 711
and the last receiving report used was No. 908 (for which goods were physically received). The
following additional information were gathered:
1. Included in the physical inventory were goods purchased and received on receiving report No. 904 but
the corresponding invoice document was received on January 3, 2021. Cost is P76,000.
2. In the warehouse on December 31, 2020, were goods covered by the sales invoice No. 706. Since the
customer has already advanced the payment for these goods, these were no longer included in the
physical inventory count.
