Returns of inventory are credited to the inventory account.

Periodic Inventory System

Beginning Inventory+ Net Purchases

Cost of Goods Available for Sale

- Ending Inventory= Cost of Goods Sold

The periodic inventory system is not designed to track either the quantity or cost of merchandise inventory. Cost of goods sold is calculated, using the schedule below, after

the physical inventory count at the end of the period.

U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS

• LIFO is permitted and used by U.S. Companies.

• If used for income tax reporting, the company must use LIFO for financial reporting.

• Conformity with IAS No. 2 would cause many U.S. companies to lose a valuable tax shelter.

• IAS No. 2, Inventories, does not permit the use of LIFO.

• Because of this restriction, many U.S. companies use LIFO only for domestic inventories.

LIFO is an important issue for U.S. multinational companies. Unless the U.S. Congress repeals the LIFO conformity rule, in inability to use LIFO under IFRS will

impose a serious impediment to convergence.

Decision Makers’ Perspective

Factors Influencing Method Choice

How are income taxes affected by inventory method

choice?

How closely do reported

costs reflect actualflow of inventory?

How well are costs matched against

related revenues?
