Inventory B cost the company $52 per unit and can now be sold for $63 per unit after incurring $15 in selling expenses per unit.

The inventory should be reported at the lower of cost or market, subject to a ceiling and floor. Replacement cost is used unless it is higher than the ceiling or lower than the floor. For Item A, the ceiling value is $45 ($60 selling price - $15 selling expenses). The floor value is $41 ($45 - $4 profit margin). The historical cost of Item A is lower and thus is used in inventory valuation. For Item B, the ceiling value is $48 (sales price of $63 - $15 selling expenses). The floor value is $44 ($48 - $4 profit margin). Replacement cost is used because it isn't above the ceiling for Item B.

A company counts its inventory and arrives at a total of $167,000. The company fears that some merchandise has been stolen and seeks to estimate the amount of the loss. Sales for the period were $600,000. Gross profit is set by the company at a standard 40% of the sales price. According to ledger balances, inventory on the first day of the year was $150,000 and purchases of $390,000 were made during the period. How much theft has occurred?

If gross profit is 40%, COGS is 60%, meaning that the sales of $600K had a cost of $360K ($600K x 60%). Ending inventory should be $150K beginning inventory plus purchases of $390K minus sales of $360K, for correct ending inventory of $180K. The inventory count only found $167K, for a difference of $13K.

A company buys 100 units of inventory for $20 each. Later, 90 of these units are sold on credit for $50 each. The company then buys an additional 40 units but the cost has risen to $22 each.

The moving average cost of inventory is calculated by recalculating the average cost each time a sale is made. When 90 units are sold, the average cost is $20 per unit. After the second purchase, the remaining units have a total cost of $1,080 (10 x $20 + 40 x $22) and the average cost is $21.6 ($1,080/50 units). The total cost of the sold units is $21.6 x 30 + $20 x 90.
