Classification of inventories
1. Merchandising Business
Merchandise Inventory or Inventory – goods purchased by a trading company for resale in the
enterprise’s ordinary course of business.
2. Manufacturing Business
Raw materials Inventory – tangible goods purchased for direct use in the manufacture of goods for
sale.
Work in Process Inventory – manufactured items requiring further processing
Finished Goods Inventory – manufactured goods completed and ready for sale.
Manufacturing Supplies Inventory – Items purchased for indirect use in the manufacture of goods
for resale.
3. Service Provider Business
Work in Process Inventory – the cost of the service. The labor, and other costs of personnel
directly engaged in the providing the service, including supervisory personnel and attributable
overhead cost excluding any profit margins or non-attributable overheads.
Measurement of Inventories
Initial Measurement
o Inventories are initially measured at historical cost. The cost of inventories should include all
costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition.
o COST OF PURCHASE – purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities), transport, handling and
other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services.
Note: Trade discounts and rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the
cost of purchase.
o COST OF CONVERSION – include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct
labor and systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in the
production process.
Abnormal waste
Storage costs
Administrative overheads unrelated to production
Selling costs
Foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories invoiced in a
foreign currency
Interest cost when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms.
When an item of inventory has been written down to its net realizable value and if in subsequent balance
sheet period, the same item of inventory still on hand, a new assessment of net realizable value should be
made.
If there is a clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of change in economic condition
the amount of the write-down should be reversed. The amount of reversal should not exceed the original
amount of write-down that was recognized previously.
Note: When physical count is not possible or practicable it would be necessary to estimate the value of the
inventory.
Include in the year-end inventory all item of inventories owned and controlled by the enterprise that are in good,
usable and salable condition within and outside the enterprise’s premises. The following items of inventories should
be considered.
1. Merchandise in Transit
If the term of the shipment is SHIPPING POINT, include as inventory of the BUYER
If the term of the shipment is DESTINATION, include as inventory of the SELLER.
If the term of the contract is COST OF INSURANCE AND FREIGHT (CIF), the goods should be
included in the buyer’s inventory once the merchandise is delivered to the carrier. CIF
contract clearly stipulates that the buyer agreed to pay the lump sum cost of the merchandise, the
insurance and as well as the freight cost.
If the term of the contract is FREE ALONG SIDE (FAS) the vessel, the seller is required to bring
the goods along side the vessel or carrier and cost of bringing the merchandise to the side of the
vessel or carrier is borne by the seller. Once the carrier takes possession of the merchandise title
to the goods passes to the buyer.
3. Sales on Approval – goods sent on approval to a potential buyer should remain as inventory of the
seller until payment is received for items kept by the buyer.
The cocktail Wholesale Beverage Company purchase softdrinks from producers and then sells
them to retailers. The company began 2016 with the merchandise inventory of 120,000 on
hand. During 2016 additional merchandise is purchased on account at a cost of 600,000.
Cocktail’s supplier credit terms of 2/10,n/30. All discounts are taken. Cocktail uses the net
method to record purchase discounts. All purchases are made F.O.B Shipping point. Freight
charges paid by cocktail totalled 16,000. Merchandise costing 20,000 (net of discounts) was
returned to suppliers for credit. Sales for the year, all on account, totalled 830,000. The cost of
the softdrinks sold is 550,000. 154,000 of inventory remained on hand at the end of 2016.
Example: Assume that Gemstone Merchandisers purchased merchandise on credit. The invoice price was
8,000 with a 2% cash discount if paid within 10 days (2/10,n/30).

o 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.
o The cost of inventories that are ordinarily interchangeable shall be assigned by using the FIFO or
weighted average method.
FIFO METHOD - Assumes that the items of inventory which were purchased first are sold first,
and consequently the items remaining in inventory at the end of the period are those most
purchased or produced.
Criticism: mismatch of the oldest unit costs with the current revenues.
WEIGTHED AVERAGE – the cost of each item is determined from the weighted average of the
cost of similar items at the beginning of the period and the cost of similar items purchased or
produced during the period.
Weighted Average Cost - this method is used with the periodic inventory system. The
unit cost is computed one time, only at the end of each period by dividing the total cost of
goods by the total number of units available for sale.
Moving Average Cost – This method is designed for the perpetual inventory system,
under which new weighted cost is calculated after each purchase.
1. Specific Identification
2. FIFO
3. Weighted Average - periodic
4. Moving Average – perpetual
Measurement of Inventories
Inventories are required to be stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Inventories are
usually written down to net realizable value item by item. In some circumstances, however, it may be
appropriate to group similar or related items.
EXAMPLE:
If the ending inventory is recorded outright at 530,000, the writedown shall be immediately recognized in
cost of goods sold. This is the direct or cost of sales method.
If the ending inventory is recorded first at the cost of 600,000, a loss of 70,000 with a corresponding credit
to an allowance account shall be recognized. This is the loss/allowance method.

Any write-down to NRV should be recognized as an expense in the period in which the write-down occurs.
Any reversal should be recognized in the income statement in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Recognition as an Expense
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories shall be recognized as an expense in
the period in which the related revenue is recognized.
The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories shall be
recognized as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs.
The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable
value, shall be recognized as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the
period in which the reversal occurs.
Some inventories may be allocated to other asset accounts, for example, inventory used as a component of
self-constructed property, plant or equipment. Inventories allocated to another asset in this way are
recognized as an expense during the useful life of that asset.
Required disclosures:
Carrying amount, generally classified as merchandise, supplies, materials, work in progress, and
finished goods. The classifications depend on what is appropriate for the enterprise.
Carrying amount of any inventories carried at fair value less costs to sell.
Amount of any reversal of a writedown to NRV and the circumstances that led to such reversal.
Gross Method – Based on the assumption that the gross profit applied by an entity to its products remains
approximately the same from period to period and therefore the relationship between cost of goods sold and
sales is constant.
Net sales* X
The cost of goods sold can also be computed if the net sale is multiplied by 1 less the GP rate if the gross
profit rate based on sales or net sales divided by 1 plus the gross profit rate if the gross profit rate is based
on cost.

*Net sales shall be gross sales less “sales returns and allowance” or “sales returns” only in order for the
estimate in ending inventory not to be overstated.
Retail Method – Employed by retailers dealing with numerous different items for sale with varying mark
up percentages to keep track unit cost.
Employee discounts X
Normal losses X X
Conservative Cost Ratio = GAS at cost divided by GAS at retail before net markdown
Average Cost Ratio = GAS at cost divided by GAS at retail (after net markdown)
FIFO Cost Ratio = Purchases at cost divided by Purchases at retail after net markdown
Net sales similar to the “gross profit method” of estimation is computed by ignoring the sales discount
and sales allowance if it is separated from sales returns.

PAS 41 - AGRICULTURE
Objective of PAS 41
The objective of PAS 41 is to establish standards of accounting for agricultural activity -- the management of the
biological transformation of biological assets (living plants and animals) into agricultural produce (harvested
product of the enterprise's biological assets).
Key Definitions:
Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biological transformation of biological assets
for sale, into agricultural produce, or into additional biological assets.
Agricultural produce is the harvested product of the entity’s biological assets.
A biological asset is a living animal or plant.
Biological transformation comprises the processes of growth, degeneration, production, and procreation
that cause qualitative or quantitative changes in a biological asset.
A group of biological assets is an aggregation of similar living animals or plants.
Harvest is the detachment of produce from a biological asset or the cessation of a biological asset’s life
processes.
Bearer plant is a living plant that:
a. Is used in the production process of agricultural produce,
b. Is expected to bear produce for more than one period
c. Has a remote likelihood of being sold (except as part of incidental scrap sales).
Initial Recognition
An enterprise should recognize a biological asset or agriculture produce only when the enterprise controls the asset
as a result of past events, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the enterprise, and the fair value or
cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
Measurement
Biological assets should be measured on initial recognition and at subsequent reporting dates at fair value
less costs of disposal, unless fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Agricultural produce should be measured at fair value less costs of disposal at the point of harvest.
Because harvested produce is a marketable commodity, there is no 'measurement reliability' exception for
produce.
The gain on initial recognition of biological assets at fair value, and changes in fair value of biological
assets during a period, are reported in net profit or loss.
A gain on initial recognition of agricultural produce at fair value should be included in net profit or loss for
the period in which it arises.
All costs related to biological assets that are measured at fair value are recognized as expenses when
incurred, other than costs to purchase biological assets.
Bearer plants are accounted for under PAS 16 using the cost model, or the revaluation model. Before
bearer plants are able to bear agricultural produce (i.e. before maturity), they are accounted for as self-
constructed items of property, plant and equipment. The agricultural produce of the bearer plant remains
within the scope of PAS 41 and is therefore accounted for at fair value.
PAS 41 presumes that fair value can be reliably measured for most biological assets. However, that
presumption can be rebutted for a biological asset that, at the time it is initially recognized in financial
statements. In such a case,
The asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if the asset does not
have a quoted market price in an active market and for which other methods of reasonably estimating fair
value are determined to be clearly inappropriate or unworkable.
Christ’s Youth in Action

Topic: Inventories ADN
But the enterprise must still measure all of its other biological assets at fair value. If circumstances change
and fair value becomes reliably measurable, a switch to fair value less disposal costs is required.
A quoted market price in an active market for a biological asset or agricultural produce is the most reliable
basis for determining the fair value of that asset. If an active market does not exist, PAS 41 provides
guidance for choosing another measurement basis. First choice would be a market-determined price such as
the most recent market price for that type of asset, or market prices for similar or related assets; if reliable
market-based prices are not available, the present value of expected net cash flows from the asset should be
use, discounted at a current market-determined pre-tax rate.
In limited circumstances, cost is an indicator of fair value, where little biological transformation has taken
place or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material.
The fair value of a biological asset is based on current quoted market prices and is not adjusted to reflect
the actual price in a binding sale contract that provides for delivery at a future date.
Other Issues
a. The change in fair value of biological assets is part physical change (growth, etc.) and part unit price
change. Separate disclosure of the two components is encouraged, not required.
b. Fair value measurement stops at harvest. PAS 2, Inventories, applies after harvest.
c. Agricultural land is accounted for under PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. However, biological
assets that are physically attached to land are measured as biological assets separate from the land.
d. Intangible assets relating to agricultural activity (for example, milk quotas) are accounted for under PAS
38, Intangible Assets.
e. Unconditional government grants received in respect of biological assets measured at fair value are
reported as income when the grant becomes receivable.
Disclosure of a quantified description of each group of biological assets, distinguishing between consumable and
bearer assets or between mature and immature assets, is encouraged but not required. If fair value cannot be
measured reliably, additional required disclosures include:
Description of the assets
An explanation of the circumstances
If possible, a range within which fair value is highly likely to fall
Gain or loss recognized on disposal
Depreciation method
Useful lives or depreciation rates
Gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation, beginning and ending
If the fair value of biological assets previously measured at cost now becomes available, certain additional
disclosures are required.
Disclosures relating to government grants include the nature and extent of grants, unfulfilled conditions, and
significant decreases in the expected level of grants.
