Document Summary

There are no journal entries for cogs or inventory shortage. Both will be accountedat the end of the period or in the closing entries. Inventory accounting uses a modified version of the standard historical cost valuation basis: lower of cost or market value. Application of accounting conservatism: anticipate no gains but allow for losses. Inventory accounting affects both the balance sheet (inventory valuation) and the income statement via the cogs. The costs of inventory include costs of purchase, cost of conversion and all the costs associated with bringing the inventory to its current location. Advertising and administrative costs are not included. Actual cost is usually tracked only for high value items (houses, motor vehicles) that can be identified by serial numbers and other methods. As the cost of keeping records decreases, because of computerisation, more items will be able to be tracked this way. Impossible to keep track of individual items in inventory, so assume flows of costs.
