Teamwork in Action (Concluded)
(c) Cost Flow versus Actual Physical Flow
Typical comments experts may express in response to (c):
Physical flow of goods can be affected by the type of products in
inventory and/or the way inventory is stored and/or displayed.
LIFO--Few actually sell their most recently acquired inventory first. This
could follow actual physical flow if inventory is stocked in a manner that
requires accessing most recent cost first.
Weighted Average--This cost is rarely the actual cost flow. This would
require the mixing or combining of units on hand. This is possible for
consequences somewhere in between LIFO and FIFO.
Specific Identification will result in a cost of goods sold, net income and tax
expense dependent on whether the actual cost of units sold were the higher
or lower priced items.
(e) Valuation
Entrepreneurial Decision — BTN 5-7
Part 1
(a) Current inventory turnover = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4 times
Part 2
The owners’ proposal for their company would yield a much improved
inventory turnover of 8 vis-à-vis the current turnover of 4. On the
downside, its days’ sales in inventory would dramatically decline from
