LCNRV

Inventories shall be measured at

• cost

• net realizable value

• lower of cost of net realizable value

• higher of cost and net realizable value

LCNRV of inventory

• is always either the net realizable value or its cost.

• should always be equal to net realizable value.

• may sometimes be less than net realizable value.

• should always be equal to net realizable value less costs to complete.

net realizable value is

• current replacement cost

• estimated selling price

• expected selling price less expected cost to complete and expected cost of disposal

• estimated selling price less estimated cost to complete and estimated cost of disposal

inventories are usually written down to net realizable value

• item by item

• by classification

• by total

• by segment

Under this method Inventory is recorded at lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV)

• Direct Method

• Allowance Method

When the cost-of-goods-sold method is used to record inventory at net realizable value

• a loss is recorded directly in the inventory account by crediting inventory and debiting loss on inventory decline.

• there is a direct reduction in the selling price of the product that results in a loss being recorded on the income statement prior to the sale.

• only the portion of the loss attributable to inventory sold during the period is recorded in the financial statements.

• the net realizable value figure for ending inventory is substituted for cost and the loss is buried in cost of goods sold.

The credit balance that arises when a net loss on a purchase commitment is recognized should be

• presented as a current liability.

• subtracted from ending inventory.

• presented as an appropriation of retained earnings.

• presented in the income statement.

Whether direct method or allowance method is used, the cost of goods sold must be the same

• TRUE

• FALSE

Based on a physical inventory at year-end, Cherry Company determined the chocolate inventory on a FIFO basis at; P2,600,000 with a replacement cost of P2,500,000.

Cherry Company estimated that, after further processing costs of P1,200,000, the chocolate could be sold as finished candy bars for P4,000,000. The normal profit margin is 10% of sales.

• 2,800,000

• 2,600,000

• 2,400,000

• 2,500,000

• 3,000,000

Answer explanation

2,600,000<2,800,000
