Inventory (W3/4)!
-Basis on what inventory is measured: Lower of cost and NRV (net realisable
value)!
•if cost > NRV, write down inventory to NRV!
•if cost <NRV, no change required !
-For cost, can be actual cost (unit identification method) or make cost flow
assumptions (FIFO, average, LIFO)!
-Inventory systems!
•Perpetual inventory: apply cost flow assumption continuously throughout !
•Periodic inventory: apply cost flow assumption only at the end (ONCE)!
-Example: Perpetual inventory at FIFO!
•End value (not always recorded financial statements) as it can be adjusted by
stock-take adjustment & LCNRV !
