All Questions Included
TRUE-FALSE—Conceptual
1. A company should abandon the
historical cost principle when the future utility of the inventory item falls
below its original cost.
2. The lower-of-cost-or-market method is
used for inventory despite being less conservative than valuing inventory at
market value.
3. The purpose of the “floor” in
lower-of-cost-or-market considerations is to avoid overstating inventory.
4. Application of the
lower-of-cost-or-market rule results in inconsistency because a company may
value inventory at cost in one year and at market in the next year.
5. GAAP requires reporting inventory at
net realizable value, even if above cost, whenever there is a controlled market
with a quoted price applicable to all quantities.
6. A reason for valuing inventory at net
realizable value is that sometimes it is too difficult to obtain the cost
figures.
7. In a basket purchase, the cost of the
individual assets acquired is determined on the basis of their relative sales
value.
8. A basket purchase occurs when a
company agrees to buy inventory weeks or months in advance.
9. Most purchase commitments must be
recorded as a liability.
10. If the contract price on a
noncancelable purchase commitment exceeds the market price, the buyer should
record any expected losses on the commitment in the period in which the market
decline takes place.
11. When a buyer enters into a formal,
noncancelable purchase contract, an asset and a liability are recorded at the
inception of the contract.
12. The gross profit method can be used
to approximate the dollar amount of inventory on hand.
13. In most situations, the gross profit
percentage is stated as a percentage of cost.
14. A disadvantage of the gross profit
method is that it uses past percentages in determining the markup.
15. When the conventional retail method
includes both net markups and net markdowns in the cost-to-retail ratio, it
approximates a lower-of-cost-or-market valuation.
16. In the retail inventory method, the
term markup means a markup on the original cost of an inventory item.
17. In the retail inventory method,
abnormal shortages are deducted from both the cost and retail amounts and
reported as a loss.
18. The inventory turnover ratio is
computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by the ending inventory on hand.
19. The average days to sell inventory
represents the average number of days’ sales for which a company has inventory
on hand.
*20. The LIFO retail method assumes that
markups and markdowns apply only to the goods purchased during the period.
