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 –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)
c. Administrative overheads (no contribution to bringing inventories to their present location and condition)
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
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.
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:
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:

INVENTORIES
Problem 2: Logan Company is selling a variety of products. The following items were included in its inventory
balance of P850,000 as of December 31, 2023:
1. An inventory sold for P15,000 on an instalment basis on December 10. The inventories costing P10,000
was delivered on the same day. The legal title has been transferred upon sale. The company’s experience
suggests that full payment on instalment sales is reasonably assured/probable.
2. 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.
3. A customized product, fabricated to order for a particular customer, was completed at a total cost of
P65,000 and in the shipping room on December 31. Although it was shipped on January 5, the customer
was billed on December 31 at sale price P120,000. The agreement is under “bill and hold” arrangement.
4. Logan Company launched and sold a new product in the market on December 25. The contract provides
that the customers have 30 days to try the product without any commitment to pay. The total sales
recognized was P250,000 while cost of sales was P175,000. As of year-end, none of the customers
returned nor confirmed their purchases.
5. Goods costing P65,000 were sold for P100,000 and delivered to a customer on December 29. The sales
transaction has a repurchase agreement which requires the entity to buy back the inventory on January
15, at P100,000 plus 12% interest.
6. Goods costing P35,000 were sold for P50,000 and were delivered to a customer on December 30. The
repurchase agreement which states that the entity has an obligation to repurchase the asset at the
customer’s request at a price that is lower than the original selling price of the asset on January 30. The
agreement still provides the customer a significant economic incentive to exercise that right.

December 31, Scott Company reported the sale of 40 air-conditioning units and the return of 20 units. Cost paid
by the Scott Company on the returned units was P5,000. The amount due to consignor is yet to be remitted by
the balance sheet date. Commission rate as agreed upon was 10%.
