Inventory Control Systems:
- Perpetual System: Maintains continuous records on the flow of units of inventory for all
transactions
Balances for inventory and COGS = always in the accounting system
Easy to identify shortage of inventory
Beginning inventory + Inventory acquired during the period - COGS = Ending inventory

- Perpetual System: Determines inventory by physical count AT THE END of the period and

- Inventory Measurement Rule
Lower of cost and net realizable value
COST of purchase:
ADD: Purchase price + Import duties and other taxes + Inward transport and handling
costs + Any other directly attributable costs of acquisition
LESS: Trade discounts, rebates, similar items
Conversion Costs if inventories are manufactured and includes cost of production
(Exclude admin, selling and storage costs)
- Cost Flow Assumption
FIFO
First units purchased = first units sold
HIGHER profit level in times of rising prices (relative to LIFO and weighted av)
Higher Ending Inventory, Lower COGS
Closing inventory balance CLOSER to current cost
