INVENTORY ESTIMATION

METHOD

Necessary when:

 Impossible to count due to catastrophes or theft

 Impractical due to interim reporting

 To validate inventory figures determined through physical count

Methods in Estimating Inventory Value

Gross Profit Method

Relationship between GP & Sales or GP & COGS

Assumption:

The GP rate remains approximately the same from period to period

The ration of cost of sales to net sales is relatively constant every

accounting period

Use Usually applied in estimating):

Inventory at reporting date

Missing inventory

Inventory loss due to catastrophe

Illustration:

INVENTORY ESTIMATION METHOD 1

 Sales allowance and sales discount are disregarded in computing "net sales"
because no physical inventory movement

Illustration:
Inventory, Beg P50,000
Purchases P100,000
GP rate 25% based on sales
Sales P80,000

Another scenario kapag may na-save na inventory:

Darna saved P25,000 worth of goods wherein:

15,000 – ok

10,000 – damaged
2,500 – NRV

How much is the burned goods?

INVENTORY ESTIMATION METHOD 2

 Illustration 2

Inventory, Beginning P200,000

Purchases P500,000

Purchase Returns & Allowances P2,000

Purchase Discount P3,000

GP rate based on sales 20%

Sales 500,000
Sales Returns 20,000

Sales Discounts 30,000

Sales Allowance 5,000

INVENTORY ESTIMATION METHOD 3

 Retail Inventory Method

Know the "retail" or "selling prices"

Assumption:

Large number of rapidly changing items have similar margin for which it
is impracticable to use other costing method

Use (applied in validating inventory figures through physical count as in the

case of:

Department stores

Supermarkets

Convenience stores

Other retail concerns where there is a wide variety of goods

INVENTORY ESTIMATION METHOD 4

 Find Cost to Retail Ratio:

Classifications:

 Average Method: everything is included

 FIFO Method: No beginning inventory

 Conservative/Conventional/Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value: No Net

markdown

 FIFO Conservative: No beginning and net markdown

Same ending inventory at retail, but sale at retail is not so compute COGS as
your difference between TGAS

Marks

Treatment of Items

 Purchase Discount

 Purchase Return

 Purchase Allowance

INVENTORY ESTIMATION METHOD 5

  Freight In

 Department transfer-in Debit)

 Departmental transfer-out Credit)

 Sales Discounts and Allowances

 Sales Returns

 Employee Discounts → after computing ratio (+) normally di nirerecord or ang

treatment sakanya is parang trade discount

 Normal losses → after computing ratio (+)

 Abnormal losses → before computing ratio (-)

 NO ENTRY Pag kuha lang ng COGAS/TGAS

Cost

Mark

Retail

PAFI PD Purchase Allowances, Freight-in, Purchase Discount)

NED SR Sales returns, Employee Discount, Normal losses)
