56. Explain the circumstances where borrowing costs are permitted to be included in the cost of inventories?
Costs associated with borrowing can sometimes be included in the cost of inventory. Such treatment is
governed by IAS 23 Borrowing Costs. IAS 23 does allow interest costs to be included in the cost of inventory,
but only when the inventory is considered to be a ‘qualifying asset'. Specifically, paragraph 11 of IAS 23 states:
‘Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
shall be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset'.
Paragraph 11 of IAS 23 requires that interest be included in the cost of inventory to the extent that the
inventories are qualifying assets.

57. What are the benefits of using LIFO method in jurisdictions where this inventory cost-flow assumption is
permitted?
LIFO may be used in the US for external reporting purposes. If it is used for these purposes—an option
available to the reporting entity in the US—it may also be used for the purposes of calculating the entity's
taxation liability. In a period of rising prices, adopting LIFO effectively results in higher cost of goods sold,
lower profits and, consequently, lower taxes. This is particularly attractive to US firms. Further, the choice of an
inventory cost-flow assumption does not have to reflect the underlying physical flow of inventory. LIFO is
prohibited in countries that adopt the standards produced by the IASB.

58. What are production overheads? Explain the criteria to be used when selecting a method to allocate
production overheads.
Paragraph 13 of IAS 2 requires that: The allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion is
based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Normal capacity is the production expected to be
achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances, taking into account the
loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. The actual level of production may be used if it
approximates normal capacity. The amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is not
increased as a consequence of low production or idle plant. Unallocated overheads are recognised as an
expense in the period in which they are incurred. In periods of abnormally high production, the amount of fixed
overhead allocated to each unit is decreased so that inventories are not measured above cost. Variable
production overheads are allocated to each unit of production on the basis of the actual use of production
facilities.

59. What is the implication on valuation of work-in-progress inventories when the net realisable value is lower
than the carrying amount of the asset?
Lower of cost and net realisable value can provide a very conservative reflection of the value of inventory, with
the result that the amount reported in the entity's financial statements may be a great deal less than its market
value. This treatment, as espoused in IAS 2, is generally consistent with the accountant's somewhat dated
‘Doctrine of Conservatism'. This doctrine holds that gains should not generally be recognised until they are
realised, while losses should be recognised in the period in which they first become foreseeable— that is, losses
do not have to be realised to be recognised for accounting purposes.

60. Discuss the relative merits of using FIFO and LIFO as basis of cost of inventories during periods of rising
prices.
In a period of rising prices, LIFO adopters would show lower profits and lower closing inventory than FIFO
adopters. Allowing the adoption of LIFO would potentially open the door to profit manipulation, as acquiring
inventory at year end might alter the period's profit, even if those items acquired are still on hand at year end.

61. Generally, IAS 2 requires inventories to be measured at cost or net realisable value. Discuss circumstances
when other measurement bases (such as current replacement cost) are permitted.
IAS 2 provides that not-for-profit entities may also adopt a different treatment for measuring inventory. In
respect of not-for-profit entities, inventories held for distribution are to be measured at the lower of cost and
current replacement cost.
