Perpetual System
Maintain detailed records of the cost of each inventory purchase and sale.
Records continuously show inventory that should be on hand for every item.
Company determines cost of goods sold each time a sale occurs.
FLOW OF COSTS
LO 1

Do not keep detailed records of the goods on hand.
Cost of goods sold determined by count at the end of the accounting period.
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold:
Beginning inventory $ 100,000
Add: Purchases, net 800,000
Goods available for sale 900,000
Less: Ending inventory 125,000
Cost of goods sold $ 775,000
Periodic System
FLOW OF COSTS
LO 1

Traditionally used for merchandise with high unit values.
Shows the quantity and cost of the inventory that should be on hand at any time.

INVESTOR INSIGHT
Improve Stock Appeal
Investors are often eager to invest in a company that has a hot new product. However, when snowboard maker Morrow Snowboards, Inc. issued shares of stock to the public for the first time, some investors expressed reluctance to invest in Morrow because of a number of accounting control problems. To reduce investor concerns, Morrow implemented a perpetual inventory system to improve its control over inventory. In addition, it stated that it would perform a physical inventory count every quarter until it felt that its perpetual inventory system was reliable.

The primary source of revenue for a merchandising company results from performing services for customers.
The operating cycle of a service company is usually shorter than that of a merchandising company.
Sales revenue less cost of goods sold equals gross profit.

ACCOUNTING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
The Point of No Returns?
In most industries, sales returns are relatively minor. But returns of consumer electronics can really take a bite out of profits. Recently, the marketing executives at Costco Wholesale Corp. faced a difficult decision. Costco has always prided itself on its generous return policy. Most goods have had an unlimited grace period for returns. A new policy will require that certain electronics must be returned within 90 days of their purchase. The reason? The cost of returned products such as high-definition TVs, computers, and iPods cut an estimated 8¢ per share off Costco’s earnings per share, which was $2.30.

ETHICS INSIGHT
Disclosing More Details
After Enron, increased investor criticism and regulator scrutiny forced many companies to improve the clarity of their financial disclosures. For example, IBM began providing more detail regarding its “Other gains and losses.” It had previously included these items in its selling, general, and administrative expenses, with little disclosure. For example, previously if IBM sold off one of its buildings at a gain, it included this gain in the selling, general, and administrative expense line item, thus reducing that expense. This made it appear that the company had done a better job of controlling operating expenses than it actually had. As another example, when eBay recently sold the remainder of its investment in Skype to Microsoft, it reported a gain in “Other revenues and gains” of $1.7 billion. Since eBay’s total income from operations was $2.4 billion, it was very important that the gain from the Skype sale not be buried in operating income.

Here is a question an executive of PepsiCo Inc. was asked: Should PepsiCo market green? The executive indicated that the company should, as he believes it’s the No. 1 thing consumers all over the world care about. Here are some of his thoughts on this issue:
“Sun Chips are part of the food business I run. It’s a ’healthy snack.’ We decided that Sun Chips, if it’s a healthy snack, should be made in facilities that have a net-zero footprint. In other words, I want off the electric grid everywhere we make Sun Chips. We did that. Sun Chips should be made in a facility that puts back more water than it uses. It does that. And we partnered with our suppliers and came out with the world’s first compostable chip package.

If your people are passionate, they’re going to fix it for you as long as you stay committed. Six months later, the compostable bag has half the noise of our current package.
So the view today is: we should market green, we should be proud to do it . . . it has to be a 360 process, both internal and external. And if you do that, you can monetize environmental sustainability for the shareholders.”

KEY POINTS
A Look at IFRS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Compare the accounting for merchandising under GAAP and IFRS.

Similarities
Under both GAAP and IFRS, a company can choose to use either a perpetual or a periodic inventory system.
The definition of inventories is basically the same under GAAP and IFRS.
LO 8

A Look at IFRS
KEY POINTS
Similarities
As indicated above, the basic accounting entries for merchandising are the same under both GAAP and IFRS.
Both GAAP and IFRS require that income statement information be presented for multiple years. For example, IFRS requires that 2 years of income statement information be presented, whereas GAAP requires 3 years.
LO 8
5-‹#›
A Look at IFRS
KEY POINTS
Differences
Under GAAP, companies generally classify income statement items by function. Classification by function leads to descriptions like administration, distribution, and manufacturing. Under IFRS, companies must classify expenses either by nature or by function. Classification by nature leads to descriptions such as the following: salaries, depreciation expense, and utilities expense. If a company uses the functional-expense method on the income statement, disclosure by nature is required in the notes to the financial statements.
LO 8
5-‹#›
A Look at IFRS
KEY POINTS
Differences
Presentation of the income statement under GAAP follows either a single-step or multiple-step format. IFRS does not mention a single-step or multiple-step approach.
Under IFRS, revaluation of land, buildings, and intangible assets is permitted. The initial gains and losses resulting from this revaluation are reported as adjustments to equity, often referred to as other comprehensive income. The effect of this difference is that the use of IFRS result in more transactions affecting equity (other comprehensive income) but not net income.
LO 8
5-‹#›
A Look at IFRS
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The IASB and FASB are working on a project that would rework the structure of financial statements. A main goal of this new approach is to provide information that better represents how businesses are run. This approach draws attention away from just one number—net income. It will adopt major groupings similar to those currently used by the statement of cash flows (operating, investing, and financing), so that numbers can be more readily traced across statements. For example, the amount of income that is generated by operations would be traceable to the assets and liabilities used to generate the income. Finally, this approach would also provide detail, beyond that currently seen in most statements (either GAAP or IFRS), by requiring that line items be presented both by function and by nature.
LO 8

IFRS Practice
Which of the following would not be included in the definition of inventory under IFRS?
Photocopy paper held for sale by an office-supply store.
Stereo equipment held for sale by an electronics store.
Used office equipment held for sale by the human relations department of a plastics company.
All of the above would meet the definition.
