Preliminary Discussions: Inventories
The recording of Ending Inventory in the Balance Sheet using Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) concept
This is an application of Conservatism of Accounting.
Market
IFRS: The Market is the Net Realizable Value. US GAAP: the market is?
5
Preliminary Discussions: Inventories
Inventory Adjustments: Inventory is measured and carried on the BS at the lower of cost of market.
• IFRS:
Lower of cost or net realizable value
Subsequent reversals allowed
• U.S. GAAP:
Lower of cost or market, defined as current replacement cost subject to upper and lower limits
– Upper limit of market: net realizable value
– Lower limit of market: net realizable value less a normal profit margin
Subsequent reversals prohibited

Analytical Issues: Inventories
Examine changes in inventory components relative to other components and relative to sales growth.
• Significant increase in finished goods inventories while raw materials and work-in-progress
inventories are declining could signify a possible decline in demand
• Growth of finished goods inventory higher than sales growth could also signify a possible decline in
demand

Summary: Inventories
Total cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The choice of inventory valuation method determines how the cost of goods available for sale during
the period is allocated between inventory and cost of sales. It affects the financial statements and any
financial ratios that are based on them.
IFRS allow three inventory valuation methods (cost formulas): first-in, first-out (FIFO); weighted
average cost; and specific identification.
U.S. GAAP allow the three methods above plus the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Companies that use the LIFO method must disclose in their financial notes the amount of the LIFO
reserve. This information can be used to adjust reported LIFO inventory and cost of goods sold
balances to the FIFO method for comparison purposes.

Preliminary Discussions: Intangible Assets
At acquisition, capitalize
• purchase price and
• expenditures necessary to prepare asset for intended use.
10
Preliminary Discussions: Intangible Assets
Intangible assets:
• Assets lacking physical substance.
• Include items that involve exclusive rights, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and franchises.
Accounting for an intangible asset depends on how it is acquired.
We will consider three ways:
• Purchased in situations other than business combinations,
• Developed internally, and
• Acquired in business combinations.

Preliminary Discussions: Capitalized vs Expense

Preliminary Discussions: Depreciation
Accelerated
Straight-Line
Depreciation
Expense ($)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Straight-line method: When the cost of the asset is allocated to expense evenly over its useful life.
Accelerated method: When the allocation of cost is greater in earlier years.
Units-of-production method: When the allocation of cost corresponds to the actual use of an asset in a
particular period.
15
Analytical Issues: Depreciation
Method: The accelerated method, compared with the straight-line method, will result in
• Higher depreciation expense in earlier periods, so lower operating profit margin and operating return
on assets (ROA) in the early periods and higher operating profit margin and operating ROA in the
later periods.
• Lower average total assets in earlier periods and thus higher asset turnover ratio.
Assumptions:
• Longer useful life compared with shorter useful life: lower annual depreciation expense.
• Higher salvage value compared with lower salvage value: lower annual depreciation expense.

Preliminary Discussions: Intangible Assets
Revaluation model:
Alternative to historical cost model permitted under IFRS.
Long-lived assets measured at fair value.
May be used only if the fair values of the assets can be measured reliably.
Unlike historical cost, may result in increases or decreases in value of long-lived assets.
May be used for some classes of assets while historical cost is used for other classes, but the same
model must be applied to assets within a particular class.
Permitted for intangible assets, but only if an active market for the asset exists.
In practice, use of revaluation model is relatively rare for either tangible or intangible and is especially
rare for intangibles.
