Cost of Goods Sold Inventory •Items purchased for the purpose of being sold to customers. The cost of the items purchased but not yet sold is reported in the resale inventory account or central storeroom inventory account. Inventory is reported as a current asset on the balance sheet. Inventory is a significant asset that needs to be monitored closely. Too much inventory can result in cash flow problems, additional expenses and losses if the items become obsolete. Too little inventory can result in lost sales and lost customers. Inventory is reported on the balance sheet at the amount paid to obtain (purchase) the items, not at its selling price. Cost of Goods Sold • Inventory management Involves regulation of the size of the investment in goods on hand, the types of goods carried in stock, and turnover rates. The investment in inventory should be kept at a minimum consistent with maintenance of adequate stocks of proper quality to meet sales demand. Increases or decreases in the inventory investment must be tested against the effect on profits and working capital. Standard levels of inventory should be established as adequate for a given volume of business, and stock control procedures applied so as to limit purchase as required. Such controls should not preclude volume purchase of nonperishable items when price advantages may be obtained under unusual circumstances. The rate of inventory turnover is a valuable test of merchandising efficiency and should be computed monthly Cost of Goods Sold • Inventory management All inventories are valued at cost which is defined as invoice price plus freight charges less discounts. Inventory items received at no cost are recorded as a debit to the inventory account and a credit to Bonus Merchandise. End-of period physical inventories are valued at or priced on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. In FIFO, requisitions are priced at the earliest invoice cost at which the items were placed in stock. Quantities on hand at the inventory date are considered to be those items most recently purchased. When possible, individuals familiar with departmental stock will be assigned to taking inventory. Counter will be indoctrinated thoroughly not only in the method of counting but also in the system of recording the count, for example, the count proceeds from left to right, top to bottom, in book-reading fashion. Cost of Goods Sold •Inventory management Completed by a team of two people. One will call and inspect the inventory while the other enters (in ink) the quantities on the sheets. Each department will be inventoried separately. (example: Food, Bar) During the course of the inventory, independent test checks will be conducted to insure the maximum of accuracy. Items found to be on hand, which were omitted from the inventory sheet, will be recorded by the inventory team, provided such items can be positively identified as activity owned property. Unit prices for retail department merchandise will be taken from current vendor invoice at the time of count. Cost of Goods Sold •Inventory management All merchandise will be listed and counted in the same unit category as priced for sale Only the unit cost price will be shown for service department items. This will be taken from the vendor invoice. The same person inserting the unit price amount also records the unit "type" such as dz., ea. gr. •Inventory Count All counts, identification, and pricing of inventories are to be adequately rechecked by a disinterested party* other than the one who recorded the original data. All inventory counts are to be verified and audited by the accounting staff. *Disinterested party is defined as anyone who does not work or manage the facility i.e., Bowling Center personnel would be a disinterested person for the golf course etc. Cost of Goods Sold Extension of Inventory Sheets All inventory count sheets will be extended and totaled by personnel in the accounting office. Departmental Inventory Worksheets After the inventory work sheets have been extended and totaled, inventory sheets will be summarized in value by department. •These values will then be compared against the book inventory. • Retail variances will be converted to cost by multiplying retail variances by departmental cost ratios. Note: Variances in inventory have a major impact on cost of goods; therefore, all discrepancies must be investigated to determine the validity of the disparity. During the “soft close” of SAP, review your COGS, you have ample time to correct inventories prior to the final close out of SAP It is also imperative that costs of goods are reviewed on a monthly basis. This will provide the manager with a working document with which to assess the business as well as detect possible theft within his/her facility..

    Chapter 3 CT 1. A. If Inventory Is Purchased with Cash, Then There Is

    Chapter 3 CT 1. a. If inventory is purchased with cash, then there is no change in the current ratio. If inventory is purchased on credit, then there is a decrease in the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. b. Reducing accounts payable with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. c. Reducing short-term debt with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. d. As long-term debt approaches maturity, the principal repayment and the remaining interest expense become current liabilities. Thus, if debt is paid off with cash, the current ratio increases if it was initially greater than 1.0. If the debt has not yet become a current liability, then paying it off will reduce the current ratio since current liabilities are not affected. e. Reduction of accounts receivables and an increase in cash leaves the current ratio unchanged. f. Inventory sold at cost reduces inventory and raises cash, so the current ratio is unchanged. g. Inventory sold for a profit raises cash in excess of the inventory recorded at cost, so the current ratio increases. 3. A current ratio of 0.50 means that the firm has twice as much in current liabilities as it does in current assets; the firm potentially has poor liquidity. If pressed by its short-term creditors and suppliers for immediate payment, the firm might have a difficult time meeting its obligations. A current ratio of 1.50 means the firm has 50% more current assets than it does current liabilities.

    Inventories and Cost of Goods Sold

    Chapter 6 Inventories and Cost of Goods Sold Key Concepts: n Why should every manager be informed and concerned about inventory? n Are the inventory figures on all companies' balance sheets calculated the same way? n How does a company select its inventory costing method? n How does inventory affect cash flow? Harcourt, Inc. 6-1 FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL Chapter Outline LO 1 The Nature of Inventory Inventory is an asset held for resale rather than use, and takes different forms: n Retailer has single inventory, merchandise inventory (Exhibit 6-1) · cost is purchase price n Manufacturer has more than one form of inventory, depending on stage of development (Exhibit 6-1) · raw materials: purchased items that have not yet entered the manufacturing process · work in process: unfinished units of the company's product ¨ direct materials: used to make product ¨ direct labor: paid to workers who make the product from raw materials ¨ manufacturing overhead: manufacturing costs that cannot be directly traced to a specific unit of product · finished goods: product ready for sale LO 2 Inventory Valuation and the Measurement of Income Inventory—an asset (unexpired cost) —becomes cost of goods sold—an expense (expired cost): Beginning inventory + Purchases = Goods available for sale – Ending inventory = Cost of goods sold Error in end inventory figure will give incorrect cost of goods sold, and thus incorrect income. Cost of inventory includes all costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location n Purchase price less discounts n Transportation in n Insurance in transit n Taxes n Storage n Apply cost/benefit test to determine which items to add to cost LO 3 Inventory Costing Methods with a Periodic System Inventory is purchased at different times, and at different prices; these costs must be allocated correctly when items are sold.

    Total Cost and Profit

    4/22/2016 Total Cost and Profit Gina Rablau Gina Rablau - Total Cost and Profit A Mini Project for Module 1 Project Description This project demonstrates the following concepts in integral calculus: Indefinite integrals. Project Description Use integration to find total cost functions from information involving marginal cost (that is, the rate of change of cost) for a commodity. Use integration to derive profit functions from the marginal revenue functions. Optimize profit, given information regarding marginal cost and marginal revenue functions. The marginal cost for a commodity is MC = C′(x), where C(x) is the total cost function. Thus if we have the marginal cost function, we can integrate to find the total cost. That is, C(x) = Ȅ ͇̽ ͬ͘ . The marginal revenue for a commodity is MR = R′(x), where R(x) is the total revenue function. If, for example, the marginal cost is MC = 1.01(x + 190) 0.01 and MR = ( /1 2x +1)+ 2 , where x is the number of thousands of units and both revenue and cost are in thousands of dollars. Suppose further that fixed costs are $100,236 and that production is limited to at most 180 thousand units. C(x) = ∫ MC dx = ∫1.01(x + 190) 0.01 dx = (x + 190 ) 01.1 + K 1 Gina Rablau Now, we know that the total revenue is 0 if no items are produced, but the total cost may not be 0 if nothing is produced. The fixed costs accrue whether goods are produced or not. Thus the value for the constant of integration depends on the fixed costs FC of production.

Inventory--ON BALANCE SHEET: “represents the cost of inventory STILL ON HAND.” 2. Cost of Goods Sold---ON INCOME STATEMENT: “represents the cost of inventory SOLD DURING THE PERIOD.” • Merchandising companies have ONE type of inventory: Merchandise Inventory • Manufacturing companies have THREE types of inventory: 1. Raw Materials 2. Work in Process 3. Finished Goods DETERMINING INVENTORY QUANTITIES • Physical inventory is taken for 2 reasons: o Perpetual System 1. Check accuracy of inventory records. 2. Determine amount of inventory lost due to wasted raw materials, shoplifting, or employee theft. o Periodic System 1. Determine the inventory on hand. 2. Determine the cost of goods sold for the period. • One challenge in determining inventory quantities is making sure a company owns the inventory. o Goods in transit: purchased goods not yet received and sold goods not yet delivered. • FOB (Free on Board) Shipping Point: Ownership of the goods passes to the buyer when the public carrier accepts the goods from the seller. • If goods are in transit they are the BUYERS. • FOB (Free on Board) Destination: Ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the goods reach the buyer. • If goods are in transit they are the SELLERS. 1 ACC101 Chapter 6 11th Ed o Consigned Goods: Goods held for other parties to see if they can sell the goods for the other party.

Concluding Comments Absorption Costing The focus of this class is on how to allocate manufacturing costs to the product. - Direct Materials - Direct Labor - Overhead Absorption costing is a process of tracing the variable costs of production and the fixed costs of production to the product. Variable Costing traces only the variable costs of production to the product and the fixed costs of production are treated as period expenses. Absorption Costing There are three different types of Absorption Costing Systems: - Job Order Costing - Process Costing - ABC Costing In Job Order Costing costs are assigned to the product in Batches or lots. - Printing - Furniture manufacturing - Bicycle Manufacturing In Process Costing, costs are systematically assigned to the product, since there are no discreet batches to assign costs. - Oil Distilling - Soda Manufacturing ABC Costing assigns cost from cost centers to the product - Best in a multi product firm, where there are different volumes Absorption Costing A simplified view of Production: Introduce Raw Manufacture Store finished Sell Finished Materials Product goods Goods 1.

Introduction to Managerial Accounting 9 Overview 9 the role of managerial accounting and management functions 9 major differences between managerial accounting and financial accounting Overview Managerial accounting is rewarding and also challenging. You are exposed to the inner mechanisms of an organization. The business exposure provides managerial accountants with the detail to make sense, from an accounting perspective, the organizations’ operations. This enables you to help managers, owners, and employees manage successfully and lead in the right direction. Keep in mind that the accounting system provides information for both external use (financial accounting) and internal use (managerial accounting). For example, financial accounting deals with reporting information through financial statements that investors need to know in order to decide whether to invest in a company. For this course review segment, our focus is on managerial accounting. The internal reporting function of an accounting system gives managers information needed for daily operations and also for long-range planning. Developing types of information most relevant to specific managerial decisions and interpreting that information is the essence of managerial accounting. The Role of Managerial Accounting & Management Functions The workplace has changed and so must the workforce. Today, managerial accounting continually evolves and adapts as the business environment changes . Organizations will continue to change and managerial accountants must be prepared to respond to such changes.
