Chapter 9: Question 3BE (page 475)

Kumar Inc. uses a perpetual inventory system. At January 1, 2017, inventory was \(214,000,000 at both cost and net realizable value. At December 31, 2017, the inventory was \)286,000,000 at cost and $265,000,000 at net realizable value. Prepare the entry under (a) the cost-of-goods-sold method and (b) the loss method.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Under the cost of goods sold method, the decline in inventory will be recorded by debiting the cost of goods sold and crediting inventory by $21,000, respectively.

(b) Under the loss method, it will be recorded by debiting the loss due to the decline of inventory to NRV and crediting inventory by $21,000, respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of inventory decline

The inventory at cost equals $286,000 and NRV equals $265,000. Hence, per the LCNRV method, the inventory value equals $265,000.

The decline in the value of inventory is calculated as follows:

Decline=Cost-LCNRV=$286,000-$265,000=$21,000

02

Journal entry under the cost of goods sold method

(a) Entry under the cost of goods sold method is as follows:

Keller Company began operations on January 1, 2016, adopting the conventional retail inventory system. None of the company’s merchandise was marked down in 2016 and, because there was no beginning inventory, its ending inventory for 2016 of \(38,100 would have been the same under either the conventional retail system or the LIFO retail system. On December 31, 2017, the store management considers adopting the LIFO retail system and desires to know how the December 31, 2017, inventory would appear under both systems. All pertinent data regarding purchases, sales, markups, and markdowns are shown below. There has been no change in the price level. Cost Retail Inventory, Jan. 1, 2017 \) 38,100 $ 60,000 Markdowns (net) 13,000 Markups (net) 22,000 Purchases (net) 130,900 178,000 Sales (net) 167,000 Instructions Determine the cost of the 2017 ending inventory under both (a) the conventional retail method and (b) the LIFO retail method
