For example, if Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (CAN) sells a yoga outfit to Jennifer Burian for
$100 on account, the yoga outfit is transferred when Jennifer obtains control of this outfit.
When this change in control occurs, Lululemon should recognize an account receivable and
sales revenue. Lululemon makes the following entry:

Sales return and allowances:
Assume that Max Glass sells hurricane glass to Oliver Builders. As part of the sales
agreement, Max includes a provision that if Oliver is dissatisfied with the product, Max will
grant an allowance on the sales price or agree to take the product back.
On January 4, 2019, Max sells $5,000 of hurricane glass to Oliver on account. Max records
the sale on account as follows.

On January 31, 2019, before preparing financial statements, Max estimates that an additional

An adjusting entry to record this additional allowance is as follows.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable:
Debit- bad debt expense or uncollectible expense
Two methods:
i) Direct write-off method
ii) Allowance method
a) Percentage-of-receivables
b) Percentage-of-sales
i) Direct write-off method:
When a company determines a particular account to be uncollectible:
The loss is debited as bad debt expense.
Example:
Assume, for example, that on December 10 Cruz Ltd. writes o ff as uncollectible Yusado’s
NT$8,000,000 balance. The entry is:
Date Accounts title and explanation Re Debit ($) Credit ($)
f
Bad debt expense 80,00,000
Accounts Receivable-Yusado 80,00,000
[To record the write-off of amount due from
Yusado]
ii) Allowance method for uncollectible accounts:
- Estimate uncollectible accounts at the end of each period.
Recording Estimated Uncollectibles
Illustration: Assume that Brown Furniture in 2019, its first year of operations, has credit
sales of £1,800,000. Of this amount, £150,000 remains uncollected at December 31. The
credit manager estimates that £10,000 of these sales will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry
to record the estimated uncollectibles (assuming a zero balance in the allowance account) is:

COST FLOW METHODS:
1. Specific Identification
Or
2. Two/Three cost flow assumptions
-First-in, First-out (FIFO)
-Average Cost
-Last-in, First-out (LIFO)
To illustrate the cost flow methods, assume that Call-Mart SpA had the following
transactions in its first month of operations.
Date Purchases Sold or Issued Balance
March 1 2,000 @$4.00= $8,000
March 15 6,000 @ $4.40 8,000
March 19 4,000 4,000
March 30 2,000 @ $4.75 6,000

Cost of ending inventory=? [It is used to calculate COGS and it is also shown as current
assets in balance sheet]
Cost of goods sold (COGS)= ? [in Income statement, COGS is deducted from net sales to
arrive gross profit.
Gross profit= Sales revenue- COGS
Calculation of cost of goods available for sales:
Beginning inventory 2,000 $4.00 $8,000
Purchases:
March 15 6,000 4.40 $26,40
March 30 2,000 4.75 $ 9,500
Cost of goods available for sales 10,000 $ 43,900
First Method: Specific Identification
Illustration: Call-Mart Inc.’s 6,000 units of inventory consists of 1,000 units from the March
1 beginning inventory, 3,000 from the March 15 purchase, and 2,000 from the March 30
purchase. Compute the amount of ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
Available inventory= 10,000
Sold inventory= 4,000

CHAPTER-09: INVENTORIES: ADDITIONAL VALUATION ISSUES

Net realizable value= Estimated selling price – Estimated costs to complete – Estimated costs
to make a sale.
Illustration: Assume that Mander AG has unfinished inventory with a cost of €950, a sales
value of €1,000, estimated cost of completion of €50, and estimated selling costs of €200.
Mander’s net realizable value is computed as follows.
SOLUTION:
Inventory value-unfinished 1,000
Less: Estimated cost of completion 50
Less: Estimated selling cost 200
250
Net realizable value 750

Net realizable value= 750

Cost of unfinished inventory= 950
The company should report inventory on its balance sheet at 750.
In the income statement, the company should reports a loss on inventory write-down of 200
[950-750]
Cost or Net realizable value= C or NRV
Lower of C or NRV= LCNRV
Recording NRV Instead of Cost
Illustration: Data for Ricardo SpA
Cost of goods sold (before adj. to NRV) €108,000

P9.1: Remmers SE manufactures desks. The 2019 catalog was in e ffect through November
2019, and the 2020 catalog is effective as of December 1, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the
following finished desks appear in the company’s inventory.
Instructions: At what amount should the four desks appear in the company’s December 31,

Gross profit method of Estimating Inventory
Illustration: Cetus SE has a beginning inventory of €60,000 and purchases of €200,000, both
at cost. Sales at selling price amount to €280,000. The gross profit on selling price is 30
percent. Cetus applies the gross margin method as follows.
SOLUTION:
Beginning inventory (at cost) € 60,000
Add: Purchases (art cost) € 200,000
Cost of goods available for sales (at cost) 2,60,000
Sales (at selling price) 2,80,000
Less: Gross profit [2,80,000 x 30%] 84,000
Sales (at cost) 1,96,000
Approximate inventory (at cost) € 64,000
Selling price and gross profit on selling price.
If selling price is given, but the gross profit is given as a percentage of cost.
Gross profit is 25% on cost.
Cost + Gross profit= Sales
If cost= 100, then gross profit= 100 x 25%= 25
Sales= 100+25= 125
% of gross profit on selling price= 25/125= 1/5= 20% on selling price.
If the cost is given, the percentage is given on retail or selling price.
Gross profit= 20% on selling price.
Selling price= 100
Gross profit= 100 x 20%= 20
Cost= 100-20= 80
% of gross profit on cost= 20/80= ¼= 0.25= 25% on cost.
E9.14: Astaire ASA uses the gross profit method to estimate inventory for monthly reporting
purposes. Presented below is information for the month of May.
