determined from the weighted average of the cost of similar items at the beginning of a period and cost
of similar items purchased or produced during the period. The average may be calculated on a periodic
basis, or as each additional shipment is received, depending upon the circumstances of the entity.

Excess Sept purchases 93,600 / 52* 1,800
*Unit cost of September = 416,000/8,000 units = 52
**Units in the ending inventory = Units identified from October purchases (5,100) plus units identified
from September (1,800) = 6,900
Average unit cost = 966,800 total cost / 18,600 total units = 51.98
Inventory, end (Average) = 6,900 x 51.98 = 358,662

5-7 The Moonlight Corporation applies the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV) inventory. Data
regarding the items in work-in-process inventory are shown below:
Shorts Pants
Historical cost 56,640 90,000
108,80
selling prices 0 108,000
Estimated cost to complete 14,400 20,400
Replacement cost 50,400 95,400
Normal profit margin as a percentage of selling price 25% 10%
Question: Under the lower of cost or NRV rule, the pants should be valued at –
Answer: 87,600
Solution:
Cost 90,000
Net Realizable Value
Selling price 108,000
Less: Estimated cost to
complete 20,400 87,600
PAS 2, paragraph 28 states that Net Realizable Value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business less the costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of
inventories may not be recoverable if those inventories are damaged, if they have become wholly or
partially obsolete, or if their selling prices have declined. The cost of inventories may not also be
recoverable if the estimated costs of completion or the estimated costs to be incurred to make the sale
have increased. The practice of writing inventories down below cost to net realizable value (NRV) is
consistent with the view that assets should not be carried in excess of the amount, which can be
expected to be realized from their sale or use.

5-8 The closing inventory of Gender Company amounted to 284,000 at December 31, 2014. This total
includes two inventory lines about which the inventory taker is uncertain.
Item 1 – 500 items which had cost 15 each and which were included at 7,500. These items were found to
have been defective at the balance sheet date. Remedial work after the balance sheet date cost 1,800
and they were then sold for 20 each. Selling expenses were 400
Item 2 – 100 items that had cost 10 each but after the balance sheet date, these were sold for 8 each
with selling expenses of 150
Question: What figure should appear in Gender’s statement of financial position for inventory?
Answer: 283,650
Solution:
284,00
Inventory per book 0
Item 1 - no adjustment
Item 2 (100 x 10 = 1,000)
(100 x 8 = 800)
(1,000 – 800 = 200)
(200 + 150 = 350) -350
Adjusted value of 283,65
inventory 0
Item 1 has a net realizable value 7,800 ( 500 x 20 – 1800 – 400) which is higher than the historical cost,
therefore reported inventory is not adjusted. The net realizable value of item 2 is lower than its cost by
350 (100 x 8 – 150 = 650 vs cost of 1,000), therefore, inventory should be reduced by 350.
PAS 10, paragraph 9 states in part that the receipt of information after the balance sheet date indicating
that an asset was impaired at the balance sheet date, or that the amount of a previously recognized
impairment loss for that asset needs to be adjusted. For instance, the sale of inventories after the
balance sheet date may give evidence about their net realizable at the balance sheet date is an example
of adjusting events after the balance sheet date that require an entity to adjust the amount recognized
in its financial statements, or to recognize items that were not previously recognized.
