Chapter 9
GAAP generally require the use of historical cost to value assets, but a departure from cost is
necessary when the utility of an asset is no longer as great as its cost. The utility or benefits from
inventory result from the ultimate sale of the goods. This utility could be reduced below cost due to
deterioration, obsolescence, or changes in price levels. To avoid reporting inventory at an amount
greater than the benefits it can provide, the lower-of-cost-or-market approach to valuing inventory
was developed. This approach results in the recognition of losses when the value of inventory
declines below its cost, rather than in the period in which the goods are ultimately sold.
Question 9-2
The designated market value in the LCM rule is the middle number of replacement cost (RC),
net realizable value (NRV) and net realizable value less a normal profit margin (NRV-NP). This is
the amount compared with cost to determine LCM.
Question 9-3
The LCM determination can be made based on individual inventory items, on logical
categories of inventory, or on the entire inventory.
Question 9-4
The preferred method is to record the loss from the write-down of inventory as a separate item
in the income statement rather than including the write-down in cost of goods sold. A less desirable
alternative is to include the loss in cost of goods sold.
Question 9-5
The gross profit method estimates cost of goods sold, which is then subtracted from cost of
goods available for sale to obtain an estimate of ending inventory. The estimate of cost of goods
sold is found by multiplying sales by the historical ratio of cost to selling prices. The cost
percentage is the reciprocal of the gross profit ratio.
Question 9-6
The key to obtaining accurate estimates when using the gross profit method is the reliability of
the cost percentage. If the cost percentage is too low, cost of goods sold will be understated and
ending inventory overstated. Cost percentages usually are based on relationships of past years,
which arent necessarily representative of the current relationship. Failure to consider theft or
spoilage also could cause an overstatement of ending inventory.
The retail inventory method first determines the amount of ending inventory at retail by
subtracting sales for the period from goods available for sale at retail. Ending inventory at retail is
then converted to cost by multiplying it by the cost-to-retail percentage.
Question 9-8
The main difference between the gross profit method and the retail inventory method is in the
determination of the cost percentage used to convert sales at selling prices to sales at cost. The retail
inventory method uses a cost percentage, called the cost-to-retail percentage, which is based on a
current relationship between cost and selling price. The gross profit method relies on past data to
reflect the current cost percentage.
Question 9-9
Question 9-10
When using the retail method to estimate average cost, the cost-to-retail percentage is
determined by dividing total cost of goods available for sale by total goods available for sale at
retail. By including beginning inventory in the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage, the
percentage reflects the average cost/retail relationship for all inventory, not just the portion acquired
in the current period.
Question 9-11
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) retail variation combined with the average cost method is
called the conventional retail method. The LCM rule is incorporated into the retail inventory
estimation procedure by excluding markdowns from the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage.
Question 9-12
When applying LIFO, if inventory increases during the year, none of the beginning inventory
is assumed sold. Ending inventory includes the beginning inventory plus the current years layer.
To determine layers, we compare ending inventory at retail to beginning inventory at retail and
assume that no more than one inventory layer is added if inventory increases. Each layer carries its
own cost-to-retail percentage that is used to convert each layer from retail to cost.
Question 9-13
Freight-in is added to purchases in the cost column. Net markups are added in the retail
column before the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage. Normal spoilage is deducted in the
retail column after the calculation of the cost-to-retail percentage. If sales are recorded net of
employee discounts, the discounts are added to net sales before sales are deducted in the retail
column.

Intermediate Accounting,4/e
The dollar-value LIFO retail method eliminates the stable price assumption of regular retail
LIFO. In effect, it combines dollar-value LIFO (Chapter 8) with LIFO retail. Before comparing
beginning and ending inventory at retail prices, ending inventory is deflated to base year retail using
the current years retail price index. After identifying the layers in ending inventory with the years
they were created, in addition to converting retail prices to cost using the cost-to-retail percentage,
the dollar-value LIFO method requires that each layer first be converted from base year retail to
layer year retail using the years retail price index.
Question 9-15
Changes in inventory methods, other a change to the LIFO method, are reported
retrospectively. This means reporting all previous periods financial statements as if the new
inventory method had been used in all prior periods.
Question 9-16
When a company changes to the LIFO inventory method from any other method, it usually is
impossible to calculate the income effect on prior years. To do so would require assumptions as to
when specific LIFO inventory layers were created in years prior to the change. As a result, a
company changing to LIFO usually does not report the change retrospectively. Instead, the LIFO
method simply is used from that point on. The base year inventory for all future LIFO
determinations is the beginning inventory in the year the LIFO method is adopted.

Question 9-19
Purchase commitments are contracts that obligate the company to purchase a specified amount
of merchandise or raw materials at specified prices on or before specified dates. These agreements
are entered into primarily to secure the acquisition of needed inventory and to protect against
increases in purchase price.
Question 9-20
Purchases made pursuant to a purchase commitment are recorded at the lower of contract price
or market price on the date the contract is executed. A loss is recognized if the market price is less
than the contract price. For purchase commitments outstanding at year-end, a loss is recognized if
the market price at year-end is less than the contract price.

NRV = $30 - 4 = $26
NRV NP = $26 (30% x $30) = $17
RC = $18
The designated market is the middle value of NRV, NRV-NP, and RC, which is
$18. Since this is lower than the cost of $20, the unit value is $18.

Requirement 2
CPS applies the average cost method retrospectively; that is, to all prior periods
as if it always had used that method. In other words, all financial statement amounts
for individual periods that are included for comparison with the current financial
statements are revised for period-specific effects of the change.
Then, the cumulative effects of the new method on periods prior to those
presented are reflected in the reported balances of the assets and liabilities affected as
of the beginning of the first period reported and a corresponding adjustment is made
to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period. Lets say CPS reports
2006-2004 comparative statements of shareholders equity. The $8.2 million
adjustment above is due to differences prior to the 2006 change. The portion of that
amount due to differences prior to 2004 is subtracted from the opening balance of
retained earnings for 2004.
The effect of the change on each line item affected should be disclosed for each
period reported as well as any adjustment for periods prior to those reported. Also, the
nature of and justification for the change should be described in the disclosure notes.

$2,000
Cost of goods sold for 2005 would be $2,000 lower in the revised income
statement.
Exercise 9-20
Requirement 1
The 2004 error caused 2004 net income to be understated, but since 2004 ending
inventory is 2005 beginning inventory, 2005 net income was overstated the same
amount. So, the income statement was misstated for 2004 and 2005, but the balance
sheet (retained earnings) was incorrect only for 2004. After that, no account balances
are incorrect due to the 2004 error.

Requirement 3
The financial statements that were incorrect as a result of both errors (effect of
one error in 2004 and effect of two errors in 2005) would be retrospectively restated
to report the correct inventory amounts, cost of goods sold, income, and retained
earnings when those statements are reported again for comparative purposes in the
current annual report. A prior period adjustment to retained earnings would be
reported, and a disclosure note should describe the nature of the error and the impact
of its correction on each years net income, income before extraordinary items, and
earnings per share.

Exercise 9-25
1. d. The failure to record a sale means that both accounts receivable and sales will
be understated. However, inventory was correctly counted, so that account and
cost of goods sold were unaffected.
2. d. The overstatement (double counting) of inventory at the end of year 1 caused
year 1 cost of goods sold (BI + Purchases EI) to be understated and both
inventory and income to be overstated. The year 1 ending inventory equals
year 2 beginning inventory. Thus, the same overstatement caused year 2
beginning inventory and cost of goods sold to be overstated and income to be
understated. This is an example of a self-correcting error. By the end of year 2,
the balance sheet is correct.
3. b. The conventional retail inventory method adds beginning inventory, net
purchases, and markups (but not markdowns) to calculate a cost percentage.
The purpose of excluding markdowns is to approximate a lower-of-averagecost-or-market valuation. The cost percentage is then used to reduce the retail
value of the ending inventory to cost. FCLs cost-retail ratio is 40% ($90,000 /
$225,000), and ending inventory at cost is therefore $20,000 (40% x $50,000
ending inventory at retail).

The effect of the change for the year 2006 is a $14,000 increase in cost of goods
sold ($272,000 - 258,000) resulting in a $14,000 decrease in income before tax and a
$8,400 decrease in income after tax [$14,000 x (1 - .40)].

The financial statements that were incorrect as a result of both errors (effect of
one error in 2004 and effect of three errors in 2005) would be retrospectively restated
to report the correct inventory amounts, cost of goods sold, income, and retained
earnings when those statements are reported again for comparative purposes in the
2006 annual report. A prior period adjustment to retained earnings would be
reported, and a disclosure note should describe the nature of the error and the impact
of its correction on each years net income, income before extraordinary items, and
earnings per share.

CASES
Judgment Case 9-1
1. Hudson should account for the warehousing costs related to its wholesale
inventories as part of inventory. All reasonable and necessary costs of preparing
inventory for sale should be recorded as inventory cost. This approach results in
proper matching of the warehousing costs with revenue when the wholesale
inventories are sold.
2. a. The lower-of-cost-or-market method produces a more realistic estimate of
future cash flows to be realized from assets, which is consistent with the principle of
conservatism, and recognizes (matches) the anticipated loss in the income statement in
the period in which the price decline occurs.
b. Hudsons wholesale inventories should be reported in the balance sheet at
replacement cost. According to the lower-of-cost-or-market method, replacement cost
is defined as market. However, market cannot exceed net realizable value and cannot
be less than net realizable value less the normal profit margin. In this instance,
replacement cost is below original cost, below net realizable value, and above net
realizable value less the normal profit margin. Therefore, Hudsons wholesale
inventories should be reported at replacement cost.
3. Hudsons freight-in costs should be included only in the cost amounts to
determine the cost-to-retail percentage. Hudsons net markups should be included
only in the retail amounts to determine the cost-to-retail-percentage. Hudsons net
markdowns should not be deducted from the retail amounts to determine the cost-toretail percentage.
4. By not deducting net markdowns from the retail amounts to determine the
cost-to-retail percentage, Hudson produces a lower cost-to-retail percentage than
would result if net markdowns were deducted. By applying this lower percentage to
ending inventory at retail, the inventory is reported at an amount below cost, which
approximates lower of average cost or market.

Requirement 2
Inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or market. Market means current replacement
cost, except that:
(1) Market should not exceed the net realizable value; and
(2) Market should not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal
profit margin.
In this situation, because replacement cost ($8 per unit) is less than net realizable value, but
greater than net realizable value reduced by a normal profit margin, replacement cost is used as

market. Because inventory valued at market ($176,000) is lower than inventory valued at cost
($180,400), inventory should be reported in the financial statements at market.
