  3. Count inventory
    Tags or count sheets can be used. One person verifies a count then a second person verifies a count. If the two counts match its good, if not then a recount.
  4. Summarize inventory
    Same type of inventory  in more than one place is combined.  So the company needs to count and organize in a way to fit their reporting needs.
  5. Determine correct unit cost of inventory 4
    • 1 costing method and type of inventory.
    • 2.LIFO, FIFO, or weighted average.
    • 3.Freight, handling, labor and overhead cost.
    • 4.Lower of cost or market
  6. Extend price times quantity and add totals
    • process is mechanical
    • raw material, work-in-process, finished goods totaled seperatly
  7. Record in general journal and post to general ledger
    Adjusting entries are made depending on the recording process of inventory
  8. Perpetual Inventory Method
    Ending Inventory calculation
    • Beginning Inventory  +
    • Purchases   -
    • Cost of goods sold   =

  11. Cons of perpetual inventory method
    Higher cost to maintain record keeping
  12. Benefits of perpetual method 2
    • 1. quantity and dollar value on hand at any time for any item can be determined
    • 2. provides check on accuracy of cost of good sold and  measure of losses by theft or spoilage
  13. Physical count when there are perpetual records
    used to compare to perpetual record. Can reveal errors and theft. Frequency of count depends on past differences.
  14. Detailed perpetual inventory records
    Record of unit and unit cost of each type of inventory, without dollar balance. Not the perpetual inventory method because cost of goods sold not calculated.
  15. Internal Controls
    Perpetual records
    helps control inventory stock levels and determine theft
  16. Internal Control
    Safekeeping of inventroy
    Prevents theft or misuse.
