A merchandiser makes a profit by selling goods at a price higher than the cost of the goods sold. While the underlying business transaction is straightforward, determining of the cost of the merchandise sold often requires an inventory cost flow assumption when similar units are purchased at different units costs during the period. Identify cost flow assumptions to their description: Cost Flow Assumption (choose between FIFO,LIFO, weighted average, or specific identication) Description Cost flow is the reverse order in which the costs were incurred. Cost flow is the order in which the costs were incurred. Cost flow is an average of the purchase costs. Unit cost is identified with a specific purchase Often, specification identification may not be practical, so one of the other three cost flow assumptions is assumed. The cost flow assumption can be applied under either the perpetual or periodic inventory system.arrow_forward

- Companies that sell products and goods will have inventory and cost of goods sold accounts. The basic cost of goods sold equation is: Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold The ending inventory of one period is the beginning inventory of the next period.

What additional accounts would you expect to find in a manufacturing firm and how do they relate to the cost of goods sold?arrow_forwardYou may recall from Principles I that “Cost of goods sold” for a retailer is figured as shown below: Beginning inventory+ Purchases= Cost of goods available for sale– Ending inventory= Cost of goods sold (A) How does the “Cost of Goods Sold” section of the income statement differ between merchandising and manufacturing companies and how is it calculated for manufacturing companies?
