Inventory Valuations

According to AS-2 (Revised), “inventories are assets held for sale in the ordinary course of Business; in the process of production for sales; or in the form of material or supplies to be Consumed in production process or in the rendering of services.” Inventory vary according to the nature of the business:

Trading Concerned: Inventories under this type encompass products purchased for resale in the existing form.

Manufacturing Concerned: Inventories under this type consist of raw materials, work in Progress and finished goods.

Inventory Record System

Periodic Inventory System

Perpetual Inventory System

Periodic inventory system is a method of ascertaining inventory by taking the actual Physical count ( measure or weight) of all the inventory items on hand at a particular Date at the end of an Accounting period. It is also known as the physical inventory System because of the actual physical count. Cost of Goods sold = opening stock + purchases – Closing stock

Perpetual Inventory System is a system of records that reveals the physical movement of Stocks and there current balances. It is a method of recording inventory balances after Each purchase and sale takes place. Closing inventory is calculated as follows: Closing inventory = Opening inventory + purchases – cost of goods sold

According to the provision of AS-2 (Revised) only the following method of inventory Valuation are permitted:

i. Specific Identification (of cost) method ii. FIFO iii. Weightage Average Cost Method

Specific identification of Cost
Specific identification of costs means that specific costs are attributed to identified items Of inventory. For items which are segregated for a specific project (purchased or produced), Appropriate treatment for such items will be of much important. The process of assigning costs involves the following two procedure: i. one has to keep track of the purchase price of each specific unit ii. To know which specific units were sold. The most important feature of the method is that business enterprise must keep a track Of the cost of each individual items purchased and sold This method is suitable where the purchases are not frequent.

FIFO
This method is based on the assumption that flow is in the order in which expenditure were made
To explain the units that are received first will be sold first. The flow of cost is presumed to be the same as flow of goods . The closing (ending) inventory consists of the latest lots and is valued at the price paid for such lot

From the following information calculate the value of ending inventory and cost of Goods sold. Date Transactions units 100 400 300 500 400 price per unit(Rs) 10 15 20 -

Merits of FIFO i. ii. iii. iv. This method is suitable for perishable goods FIFO is easy to operate Assignment of cost against revenue is matched. Closing inventory valuation reflects the true financial position due to recent purchases.

Demerits of FIFO i. In the period of rising prices, higher income will be reported resulting higher tax liabilities ii. In the period when prices are fluctuating, the cost of purchase do not represent current market price. iii. In case where production cycle is lengthy, true profit cannot be shown in income statement.

LIFO Though this method is not recognized by AS-2 (Revised), this method is required for the Academic interest. Under this method, goods which are purchased last are sold first.

Weighted Average Method

The weighted Average Method is based on the assumption that: i. Each sale of goods consists of a due proportion of the earlier lots ii. Such sale is valued at the weighted average price
Total cost of goods in stock

Weighted Average Price =
Total quantity of goods in stock

( whereas Total Cost = Quantity x cost per unit)

Merits of weighted Average cost

i. This method is realistic, objective & consistent ii. Manipulation may not be possible iii. It average out the effects of price fluctuations
Demerits of Weighted Average Cost i. This method needs more calculation work at each and every stage ii. The ending inventory differs from the conventional method of valuation of closing date.

Economic order quantity
Economic order Quantity is that size of the order which gives maximum economy In purchasing any item of material. In order to determine the economic or optimum order quantity, an analysis of the various Cost associated with the ordering quantity is made. This cost may be divided into two parts: i. Material Acquisition costs & ii. Material Carrying cost Material acquisition cost arises on account of having to process an order Material carrying cost include interest charges on investment in material, insurance costs, Storage cost etc

The material acquisition costs are related to the number of orders placed during a Given period On the other hands, carrying cost, which are variable or semi variable in nature, tend to Change nearly in directly proportion to the level of stock carried in the manufacturing Concerned.

Calculation of EOQ EOQ =

?

2AS I

‘A’ stands for annual consumption of material in terms of units ‘S’ stands for cost of placing one order including the cost of receiving it ‘I’ stands for interest payment per unit per annum ( or carrying cost per unit per annum)

Calculate EOQ from the following information

Annual usage is 10,000 units Cost of placing one order Rs 50 Cost of material per unit is Rs 25 Annual carrying Cost of one unit is 10% of inventory value

?

2 x 10000 x 50 2.5

I = Rs.25 x 10 % = Rs 2.50

Question The annual demand for the product is 6400 units. The unit cost is Rs.6 and inventory Carrying cost per unit per annum is 25% of the average inventory cost. If the cost of procurement is Rs.75 , Determine a. EOQ b. Number of orders per annum c. Time between two consecutive orders.
