Ogala Corporation purchased a significant amount of raw materials inventory for a new product that it is manufacturing. Ogala uses the LCNRV rule for these raw materials. The net realizable value of the raw materials is below the original cost. Ogala uses the FIFO inventory method for these raw materials. In the last 2 years, each purchase has been at a lower price than the previous purchase, and the ending inventory quantity for each period has been higher than the beginning inventory quantity for that period. Instructions (a) At which amount should Ogala’s raw materials inventory be reported on the balance sheet? Why? (b) In general, why is the LCNRV rule used to report inventory? (c) What would have been the effect on ending inventory and cost of goods sold had Ogala used the average-cost inventory method instead of the FIFO inventory method for the raw materials? Why?
Assume that Darcy Industries had the following inventory values. Inventory cost (on December 31, 2017) \(1,500 Inventory market (on December 31, 2017) \)1,350 Inventory net realizable value (on December 31, 2017) \(1,320 Under IFRS, what is the inventory carrying value on December 31, 2017? (a) \)1,500. (b) \(1,570. (c) \)1,560. (d) $1,320
Malone Company determined its ending inventory at cost and at LCNRV at December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, as shown below. Cost NRV 12/31/17 \(650,000 \)650,000 12/31/18 780,000 712,000 12/31/19 905,000 830,000 Instructions (a) Prepare the journal entries required at December 31, 2018, and at December 31, 2019, assuming that a perpetual inventory system and the cost-of-goods-sold method of adjusting to LCNRV is used. (b) Prepare the journal entries required at December 31, 2018, and at December 31, 2019, assuming that a perpetual inventory is recorded at cost and reduced to LCNRV using the loss method.
Question:In some instances, accounting principles require a departure from valuing inventories at cost alone. Determine the proper unit inventory price in the following cases using LCNRV. Cases 1 2 3 4 5 Cost \(15.90 \)16.10 \(15.90 \)15.90 $15.90 Sales value 14.80 19.20 15.20 10.40 17.80 Estimated cost to complete 1.50 1.90 1.65 .80 1.00 Estimated cost to sell .50 .70 .55 .40 .60
