CHAPTER 6 ACCOUNTING FOR MATERIALS
True – False Questions
1. When price are rising, higher income will be reported using FIFO as compared with using LIFO.
Answer: TRUE
2. Inventory Methods can be changed at will to control reported net income. (cost of goods sold)
Answer: FALSE
3. An overstated ending inventory leads to understated net income. (understated);

(overstated)
Answer: FALSE
*When an ending inventory overstatement occurs, the cost of goods sold is stated too low,
which means that net income before taxes is overstated by the amount of the inventory
overstatement; vice versa.
4. An error in determining the cost of the ending inventory of a period generally results in misstated
net income for two periods.
Answer: TRUE
5. The net realizable value of an inventory item can never be greater than its expected selling price
Answer: TRUE
6. An advantage of using lifo yields the greatest Cost of Goods Sold.
Answer: TRUE
7. Spoiled goods may be sold at an amount higher than the regular sales price. (lower)
Answer: FALSE
*Spoiled goods are goods that do not meet production standards and are either sold for their
salvage value or discarded. When spoiled units are discovered, they are taken out of production and
no further work is performed on them.
8. If spoilage in a job results is due to the exacting specifications of the job, the loss resulting from
the spoiled goods should be shared by all units manufactured during the period. (the specific job)
Answer: FALSE
*If the reason for the spoilage is the job itself, because it requires exacting specifications, or a
difficult, intricate or complicated manufacturing process.
9. The closing entries necessary under the perpetual and periodic inventory systems do not differ
because all expenses and revenues must be close. (differ)
Answer: FALSE
*Perpetual inventory systems record cost of goods sold and keep inventory at its current
balance throughout the year. Therefore, there is no need to do a year-end inventory adjustment
unless the perpetual records disagree with the inventory count. In addition, a separate cost of goods
sold calculation is unnecessary since cost of goods sold is recorded whenever inventory is sold.
*The inventory account in a periodic inventory system keeps its beginning balance until the
end of period adjustment to the physical inventory count. Therefore, a separate cost of goods sold
calculation is necessary.
10. When a company changes from one inventory costing method to another, the change must be
fully disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements explaining the reasons for the change.
Answer: TRUE
11. Graphically, the economic order quality (EOQ) is the point where the carrying cost line intersect
the ordering cost line.
Answer: TRUE
12. The primary goal of inventory management activity is to minimize the risks of a stockout while
maximizing the return on inventory. (inventory related costs)
Answer: FALSE
13. When computing the economic production run size, the costs to set up a production run are
analogous to carrying costs in the basic economic order quantity model. (order costs)
Answer: FALSE
14. The purchase price per unit of inventory is irrelevant in lathe economic order quantity (EOQ)
model.
Answer: TRUE
15. The accounting for spoiled units and defective units is the same. (different)
Answer: FALSE
*When spoiled units are discovered, they are taken out of production and no further work is
performed on them. While defective units do not meet production standards and must be processed
further in order to be salable as good units or as irregulars.
Multiple Choice - Problems
1. According to the net method, which of the following items should be included in the cost of
inventory?
Freight-cost Purchase discounts not taken

a. Yes No
b. Yes Yes
c. No Yes
d. No No
Answer: A
Explanation:
The cost of inventory should include all expenditures (direct and indirect) incurred to
bring an item to its existing condition and location. Freight charges are thus appropriately
included in inventory costs. Under the net purchase method, purchase discounts not taken are
recorded in a Purchase Discount Lost Account. When this method is used, purchase discounts
lost are considered a financial expense and are thus excluded from the cost of inventory.
2. The weighted average for the year inventory cost flow method is applicable to which of the
following inventory system?
Periodic Perpetual
a. Yes Yes
b. Yes No
c. No Yes
d. No No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Weighted average for the year inventory cost flow method is applicable only to
periodic inventory system because in perpetual inventory system, moving average
method is the one being used.
3. During June, Delta Co. experienced scrap, normal spoilage, and abnormal spoilage in its
manufacturing process. The cost of units produced includes
a. Scrap, but not spoilage

b. Normal spoilage, but neither scrap nor abnormal spoilage
c. Scrap and normal spoilage, but not abnormal spoilage
d. None of the items mentioned
Answer: C
Explanation:
The cost of units produced includes scrap and normal spoilage but does not include
abnormal spoilage. Abnormal spoilage is recognized as a loss when it is discovered, therefore
it is not included in the cost of units produced.
4. Marsh Company had 150 units of product on hand at January 1, costing P21.00 each. Purchases

January 31, under the FIFO method is:
a. P 5, 850
b. P 5, 550
c. P 5, 350
d. P 5, 250
Answer: A
Solution:
150 units x 23 (Unit Cost) = 3,450
100 units x 24 (Unit Cost) = 2,400
250 units 5,850
Explanation:
Under the Fifo method, remaining units are those purchased at the later date. Thus the
units on hand on January 31 are those remaining from January 18 and 28.
5. Harper Company’s Job 301 for the manufacture of 2,200 coats was completed during August 2009
at the following unit costs:
Direct Materials P 20.00

Direct Labor 18.00
Factory Overhead (includes an allowance of P1.00 spoiled work) 18.00
56.00
Final inspection of Job 301 discloses 200 spoiled costs which were sold to a jobber for P 6000.
Assume that spoilage loss is charged to all production during August. What would be the unit cost
of the good units produced on Job 301?
a. P 53.00
b. P 55.00
c. P 56.00
d. P 58.00
Answer: C
Explanation:
Under the method, loss charged to all production, the unit cost of the completed units
remains unchanged.
Solution/Entries:
Work in Process (56 x 2200) 123,200

Materials 44,000
Payroll 39,600
Spoiled Goods 6,000

Work in Process 11,200
Work in Process, Ending = 123,200-11,200 = 112,000

Unit Cost = 112,000/2,000 = P 56.00
6. Assume instead, that the spoilage loss is attributable to exacting specification of Job 301 and is
charged to this specific job. What would be the unit cost of the good coats produced on Job 301?
a. P 55.00
b. P 57.50
c. P 58.60
d. P 61.60

Solution/Entries:
Work in Process (55 x 2,200) 121,000

Materials 44,000
Payroll 39,600
Spoiled Goods 6,000

Work in Process= 121,000-6,000= 115,000

Unit Cost = 115,000/2,000 = P 57.50
