Item Cost Net Realizable Value (NRV) Jokers \(2,000 \)2,100 Penguins 5,000 4,950 Riddlers 4,400 4,625 Scarecrows 3,200 3,830 Determine the following: (a) the LCNRV for each item, and (b) the amount of write-down, if any, using (1) an item-by-item LCNRV evaluation and (2) a total category LCNRV evaluation
Bell, Inc. buys 1,000 computer game CDs from a distributor who is discontinuing those games. The purchase price for the lot is \(8,000. Bell will group the CDs into three price categories for resale, as indicated below. Group No. of CDs Price per CD 1 100 \) 5 2 800 10 3 100 15 Determine the cost per CD for each group, using the relative sales value method
As of January 1, 2017, Aristotle Inc. adopted the retail method of accounting for its merchandise inventory. To prepare the store’s financial statements at June 30, 2017, you obtain the following data. Cost Selling Price Inventory, January 1 \( 30,000 \) 43,000 Markdowns 10,500 Markups 9,200 Markdown cancellations 6,500 Markup cancellations 3,200 Purchases 104,800 155,000 Sales revenue 154,000 Purchase returns 2,800 4,000 Sales returns and allowances 8,000 Instructions (a) Prepare a schedule to compute Aristotle’s June 30, 2017, inventory under the conventional retail method of accounting for inventories. (b) Without prejudice to your solution to part (a), assume that you computed the June 30, 2017, inventory to be $59,400 at retail and the ratio of cost to retail to be 70%. The general price level has increased from 100 at January 1, 2017, to 108 at June 30, 2017. Prepare a schedule to compute the June 30, 2017, inventory at the June 30 price level under the dollarvalue LIFO retail method. (AICPA adapted)
Question:In some instances, accounting principles require a departure from valuing inventories at cost alone. Determine the proper unit inventory price in the following cases using LCNRV. Cases 1 2 3 4 5 Cost \(15.90 \)16.10 \(15.90 \)15.90 $15.90 Sales value 14.80 19.20 15.20 10.40 17.80 Estimated cost to complete 1.50 1.90 1.65 .80 1.00 Estimated cost to sell .50 .70 .55 .40 .60
Ogala Corporation purchased a significant amount of raw materials inventory for a new product that it is manufacturing. Ogala uses the LCNRV rule for these raw materials. The net realizable value of the raw materials is below the original cost. Ogala uses the FIFO inventory method for these raw materials. In the last 2 years, each purchase has been at a lower price than the previous purchase, and the ending inventory quantity for each period has been higher than the beginning inventory quantity for that period. Instructions (a) At which amount should Ogala’s raw materials inventory be reported on the balance sheet? Why? (b) In general, why is the LCNRV rule used to report inventory? (c) What would have been the effect on ending inventory and cost of goods sold had Ogala used the average-cost inventory method instead of the FIFO inventory method for the raw materials? Why?
