Have Homework from first handout.

Materials can be classified as direct or indirect materials

Direct Materials are materials that can be directly attributed to a unit of production.
Indirect Materials are any other materials used in the production process that cannot be
directly attributed to a unit of production.

Proper documentation of inventory movement is important because it will help the

organisation ensure that it has sufficient inventory, that the inventory of the required
quality and that there is no duplication of orders.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS RECORDS Bin Card

A bin card is used by stores detailing the description of the goods, bin number, re-order level,
reorder quantity, receipts and issues of the item, balance in hand, maximum and
minimum inventory levels and any relevant remarks.

Stores Ledger
Card
Perpetual inventory is recording the receipts, issues and the resulting balances of the
individual items in quantity or quantity and value as they occur. This is done by
updating the stores ledger card which shows the number and value of the items received,
issued and its current balance, as well as, the bin card.

Materials Returned Note

It may become necessary for a user department to return goods to Stores because they
no longer require the items. The user department will complete a materials returned
note which will specify the user department, the goods being retuned and the job it
was requested for.

Materials Transfer Note

The material transfer note is used to record inventory that is transferred from one
department to another. The note is completed by the department making the
transfer detailing the inventory being transferred and to whom. Once completed it is
sent to Stores for confirmation.

PURCHASE CONSIDERATIONS
When a company is considering purchasing inventory it must take into account the
following
1. Maintaining an adequate supply of materials to ensure that the company
does not
suffer from inventory shortages.
2. Minimising its investment in inventory thus minimising costs associated with
storage of
inventory.
3. Obtaining the most economic price which ensures that costs are kept to a
minimum.
4. Minimising losses arising from perishable and obsolete items.
5. Maintenance of adequate records.
6. Determining the quantity required. To determine how much should be purchased the
company can consider its projections of sales in the forthcoming period, the
level of inventory it presently has and how much it wishes to retain in the future.

PRICING ISSUES OF MATERIALS

If a company operates a Just in Time system it is easy to value the issues of raw
materials. This is so since a Just in Time system means that materials will be ordered so that the
delivery of the items will coincide with the time when they are required for production.
As such, no inventory is held by the company. The values of issues are the prices
paid for the raw materials. However, this is not normally the case since most companies
will retain some inventory.

Inventory is retained by companies because there may

be
> Fluctuations in the demand for the finished goods and therefore production may not
remain constant each period. Any increases in production will require increases
in raw material inputs which can be meet by the inventory held.
➤ Fluctuations in the supply of raw material. If supply is not constant it will be
necessary to hold inventory so that they are available during periods of shortages. ➤
Delays in delivery. If goods are not held and delivery is not as promised the
company may experience production delays and possibly lost sales if no finished
products are available.
The company may take advantage of bulk purchase discounts. These
discounts result from purchasing a specified amount or more of the item. This
amount may exceed the actual requirements for the period so there is
surplus that has to be stored.

Therefore, a business must determine how to value its inventory and its issues of materials to
production. The main methods of valuation include first in first out, last in first out,
continuous weighted average and periodic weighted average.

Production Department

JST Required
High Quality Since poor quality will reduce throughout ad
dependability of supplies
Speed to ensure customers order are met through production
(Not inventory)
Reliability of production no hold up
Flexibility no responds no customer orders (production in
small batches)
Lowe cost can result from high quality production. Faster
throughout and the elimination of errors.

FIFO Result in
Lower Valuation for Issues since older prices are the lower prices
Best Estimate for closing Inventory ( closest reflection of current
prices ) since they are valued at newest prices
Best estimated for closing inventory (Closet reflection of current
prices) Since They are valued at newest prices which are close to
current marilet price s
Overstatement of gross profit since cost of sales is under stated

Lifo Result in
Highest Valuation of issues since newest prices are the highest prices.
Low estimate of closing Inventory since they are valued at the oldest
princes which are the prices
Overstatement of cost of sales and therefore understatement of profit
