EXERCISE 8.4
a.
Inventory per physical count.…………….……………... $441,000
Goods in transit to customer, f.o.b. destination …. + 33,000
Goods in transit from vendor, f.o.b. shipping point + 51,000
Inventory to be reported on SFP………………..………. $ 525,000
Item 1 – The consigned goods of $61,000 are not owned by Solaro
and were properly excluded.
Item 3 – The goods in transit to a customer of $46,000, shipped
f.o.b. shipping point, are properly excluded from the inventory
because the title to the goods passed when they left the seller and
therefore a sale and related cost of goods sold should be
recorded in 2020.
Item 4 – The goods in transit from a vendor of $73,000, shipped
f.o.b. destination, are properly excluded from the inventory
because the title to the goods does not pass to Solaro until the
buyer (Solaro) receives them.
Item 6 – Storage costs to store excess inventory cannot be
inventoried; i.e., these charges must be expensed as a period
cost. Storage costs can only be added to the cost of inventory if
they are necessary in the production process – i.e., wine-making
process).
Item 7 – Interest costs that are incurred from delayed purchase
plans for inventories that are ready for sale or use are not product
costs.
b. Private company:
Under ASPE, the only requirement is that the amount of interest
be disclosed if it is capitalized as part of the cost of inventory.
Therefore, Solaro can choose to add the interest costs to the
product costs. But, following basic principles, ordinary financing
costs would not qualify as an inventoriable product cost.
Therefore, it would have to be in similar circumstances to those
found under IFRS standards.
