    Why We Want to Hold Inventories

    Finished Goods Essential in produce-to-stock positioning strategies

    Necessary in level aggregate capacity plans

    Products can be displayed to customers

    Work-in-Process

    Necessary in process-focused production

    May reduce material-handling & production costs

    Raw Material Suppliers may produce/ship materials in batches

    Quantity discounts and freight/handling $$ savings

    Why We Do Not Want to Hold Inventories

    Certain costs increase such as carrying costs

    cost of customer responsiveness

    cost of coordinating production

    cost of diluted return on investment

    reduced-capacity costs

    Independent Demand Inventory Systems

    Demand for an item carried in inventory isindependent of the demand for any other item in

    inventory

    Finished goods inventory is an example

    Demands are estimated from forecasts and/or

    customer orders

    Dependent Demand Inventory Systems

    Items whose demand depends on the demands forother items

    For example, the demand for raw materials and

    components can be calculated from the demand for

    finished goods

    The systems used to manage these inventories are

    different from those used to manage independent

    demand items

    Inventory Costs

    Costs associated with ordering too much (representedby carrying costs)

    Costs associated with ordering too little (represented

    by ordering costs)

    These costs are opposing costs, i.e., as one increases

    the other decreases

    Inventory Costs (continued)

    The sum of the two costs is the total stocking cost(TSC)

    When plotted against order quantity, the TSC

    decreases to a minimum cost and then increases

    This cost behavior is the basis for answering the first

    fundamental question: how much to order

    It is known as the economic order quantity (EOQ)

    Behavior of EOQ Systems

    As demand for the inventoried item occurs, theinventory level drops

    When the inventory level drops to a critical point, the

    order point, the ordering process is triggered

    The amount ordered each time an order is placed is

    fixed or constant

    When the ordered quantity is received, the inventory

    level increases . . . more

    Model I: Basic EOQ

    Typical assumptions made annual demand (D), carrying cost (C) and ordering

    cost (S) can be estimated

    average inventory level is the fixed order quantity

    (Q) divided by 2 which implies

    no safety stock

    orders are received all at once

    demand occurs at a uniform rate

    no inventory when an order arrives

    Model I: Basic EOQ

    Assumptions (continued) Stockout, customer responsiveness, and other costs

    are inconsequential

    acquisition cost is fixed, i.e., no quantity discounts

    Annual carrying cost = (average inventory level) x

    (carrying cost) = (Q/2)C

    Annual ordering cost = (average number of orders per

    year) x (ordering cost) = (D/Q)S . . . more

    Model II: EOQ for Production Lots

    Used to determine the order size, production lot, if anitem is produced at one stage of production, stored in

    inventory, and then sent to the next stage or the

    customer

    Differs from Model I because orders are assumed tobe supplied or produced at a uniform rate (p) rate

    rather than the order being received all at once

    29

    Model II: EOQ for Production Lots

    It is also assumed that the supply rate, p, is greaterthan the demand rate, d

    The change in maximum inventory level requires

    modification of the TSC equation

    TSC = (Q/2)[(p-d)/p]C + (D/Q)S

    $10.50 per ton. HEC uses the coal at a rate of 800

    tons per day and operates 365 days per year.HECs annual carrying cost for coal is 20% of the

    acquisition cost, and the ordering cost is $5,000.

    Model III: EOQ with Quantity Discounts

    Under quantity discounts, a supplier offers a lowerunit price if larger quantities are ordered at one time

    This is presented as a price or discount schedule, i.e.,

    a certain unit price over a certain order quantity range

    This means this model differs from Model I because

    the acquisition cost (ac) may vary with the quantity

    ordered, i.e., it is not necessarily constant

    36/109

    36

    Model III: EOQ with Quantity Discounts

    Under this condition, acquisition cost becomes anincremental cost and must be considered in the

    determination of the EOQ

    The total annual material costs (TMC) = Total annual

    stocking costs (TSC) + annual acquisition cost

    TSC = (Q/2)C + (D/Q)S + (D)ac

    Model III: EOQ with Quantity Discounts

    To find the EOQ, the following procedure is used:1. Compute the EOQ using the lowest acquisition cost.

    If the resulting EOQ is feasible (the quantity canbe purchased at the acquisition cost used), thisquantity is optimal and you are finished.

    If the resulting EOQ is not feasible, go to Step 2

    2. Identify the next higher acquisition cost.

    Otherwise, go to Step 2.

    4. Compute the TMC for the feasible EOQ (just foundin Step 3) and its corresponding acquisition cost.

    5. Compute the TMC for each of the lower acquisitioncosts using the minimum allowed order quantity for

    each cost.6. The quantity with the lowest TMC is optimal.

    Basis for Setting the Order Point

    In the fixed order quantity system, the orderingprocess is triggered when the inventory level drops to

    a critical point, the order point

    This starts the lead time for the item.

    Basis for Setting the Order Point

    During the lead time, customers continue to drawdown the inventory

    It is during this period that the inventory is vulnerable

    to stockout (run out of inventory)

    Customer service level is the probability that a

    stockout will not occur during the lead time

    47/109

    47

    Basis for Setting the Order Point

    The order point is set based on the demand during lead time (DDLT) and

    the desired customer service level

    Order point (OP) = Expected demand during lead

    time (EDDLT) + Safety stock (SS)

    The amount of safety stock needed is based on the

    degree of uncertainty in the DDLT and the customer

    service level desired

    As demand for the inventoried item occurs, theinventory level drops

    When a prescribed period of time (EOP) has elapsed,

    the ordering process is triggered, i.e., the time

    between orders is fixed or constant At that time the order quantity is determined using

    Inventories

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    76/109

    76

    Inventories

    The cost of inventories is reported on the balance sheet and

    reflects the price of goods purchased from other companiesor the costs to manufacture those goods if internallyproduced.

    Costs will vary over time and for changes in market

    conditions. Consequently, the goods available for sale will likely vary

    in cost from one period to the nexteven if the quantity ofgoods available remains the same.

    Inventories

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    77/109

    77

    Inventories

    Inventory costs either are reported on the balancesheet or they are transferred to the income

    statement as an expense (cost of goods sold) to

    match against sales revenues.

    The process for which costs are removed from thebalance sheet is important.

    Capitalization Costs

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    78/109

    78

    Capitalization Costs

    Capitalization means that a cost is recorded on the

    balance sheet and is not immediately expensed on theincome statement.

    Once costs are capitalized, they remain on the balancesheet as assets until they are used up, at which time they

    are transferred from the balance sheet to the incomestatement as expense.

    If costs are capitalized rather than expensed, then assets,current income, and current equity are all greater.

    Cost Capitalization

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    79/109

    79

    Cost Capitalization

    For purchased inventories (such as with merchandisers),

    the amount of cost capitalized is the purchase price.

    For manufacturers, the capitalization issue is moredifficult.

    Manufacturing costs consist of three components:

    1. Raw materials2. Direct labor

    3. Manufacturing overhead (all manufacturing costsexcept raw materials and direct labor)

    Manufacturing Costs

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    80/109

    80

    Manufacturing Costs

    Raw materials cost is relatively easy to compute. Design

    specifications list the components of each product, andtheir purchase costs are readily determined.

    Labor cost in a unit of inventory is based on how long eachunit takes to build and the rates for each labor class

    working on that product. Overhead costs include the manufacturing plant

    depreciation, utilities, plant supervisory personnel, and soforth.

    Cost of Goods Sold

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    81/109

    81

    Cost of Goods Sold

    When inventories are used up in production or aresold, their cost is transferred from the balancesheet to the income statement as cost of goods sold(COGS). COGS is then matched against salesrevenue to yield gross profit:

    Sales revenue

    - COGS

    Balance Sheet

    In periods of rising prices, and assuming that thecompany has not previously liquidated olderlayers of inventories, using LIFO would yieldending inventories at costs that can be markedlylower than replacement cost.

    As a result, balance sheets using LIFO do notaccurately represent the current investment ininventories.

    Inventory Costing Effects on Cash Flows

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    88/109

    88

    y g

    In periods of rising prices, companies can get caught in a

    cash flow squeeze as they pay higher taxes and mustreplenish inventories at higher replacement costs thanoriginally purchased. This can lead to liquidity problems.

    One reason frequently cited for using LIFO is the reducedtax liability in periods of rising prices.

    Companies using LIFO may also be required to disclosethe amount at which inventories would have been reportedhad it used FIFO. The difference between these twoamounts is called the LIFO reserve.

    Companies are required to write down the carrying amount ofinventories on the balance sheet if, at the statement date, thereported cost exceeds their market value (determined as thecurrent replacement cost).

    This is called reporting inventories at the lower of cost or

    market. Inventory book value is written down to market value.

    Inventory write-down is reflected as an expense (part ofcost of goods sold) on the income statement.

    Gross profit analysis

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    91/109

    91

    p y

    Gross profit ratio equals gross profit divided by sales. This

    is an important ratio and is frequently monitored bycompany management and external equity analysts alike.

    The gross profit ratio is frequently used instead of thedollar amount of gross profit as it allows for comparisonsacross companies.

    A decline in this ratio is usually cause for concern since itindicates that the company has less ability to mark up thecost of its products into selling prices.

    Possible Causes for a Decline in Gross Profit Ratio

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    92/109

    92

    Possible Causes for a Decline in Gross Profit Ratio

    Some possible reasons for a decline in Gross Profit Ratio follow:

    Product line is stale. Perhaps it is out of fashion and thecompany has had to resort to markdowns to reduceoverstocked inventories. Or, perhaps the product lineshave lost their technological edge and are no longer indemand.

    New competitors enter the market. Since there are nowsubstitutes available from competitors, increased sellingprices is less likely.

    General decline in economic activity. This could reduce

    demand for its products. The recession of the early 2000sresulted in reduced gross profits for many companies.

    Inventory is overstocked. If a company produces too manygoods and finds itself in an overstock position, it canreduce selling prices to move inventory.

    Long-Term Assets

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    94/109

    94

    Long-term assets mainly consist of property,

    plant, and equipment (PPE).

    These assets often makeup the largest asset

    amounts.

    Future expenses arising from these long-termassets often makeup the larger expense amounts

    typically reflected in depreciation expense and

    asset write-downs.

    Capitalization of Costs

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    95/109

    95

    An expenditure is only reflected on the balance sheet as an asset if it

    possesses two characteristics:1. It is owned or controlled by the entity, and

    2. It provides future expected benefits.

    Owning the asset means the entity has title to the asset as provided ina purchase contract.

    Future expected benefits usually mean cash inflows. Companies can only capitalize costs for which the associated cash

    inflows are directly linked.

    The amount of costs that can be reported as an asset is limited to anamount no greater than the expected future cash inflows from theinvestment.

    Capitalizing vs. Expensing

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    96/109

    96

    The qualification that only those costs for which

    the associated cash inflows are directly linkedis an

    important one.

    The following costs are typically expensed:

    Research & Development (R&D)

    Advertising Costs

    Employee Wages

    Depreciation Factors and Process

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    97/109

    97

    Depreciation requires the following estimates:1. Useful lifeperiod of time over which the asset is

    expected to generate cash inflows

    2. Salvage valueExpected disposal amount for the assetat the end of its useful life

    3. Depreciation ratean estimate of how the asset will beused up over its useful life.

    Depreciation Rate Assumptions

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    98/109

    98

    1. The asset is used up by the same amount eachperiod

    2. The asset is used up more in the early years of its

    useful life3. The asset is used up in proportion to its actual

    usage

    Variance in Depreciation

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    99/109

    99

    A company can depreciate different assets using different depreciation

    rates (and different useful lives). Whatever depreciation rate is chosen, however, it must generally be

    used throughout the useful life of that asset.

    Changes to depreciation rates can be made, but they must be justifiedas providing better quality financial reports.

    The using up of an asset generally relates to physical or technologicalobsolescence.

    Physical obsolescencerelates to an assets diminished capacity toproduce output.

    Technological obsolescencerelates to an assets diminishedefficiency in producing output in a competitive manner.

    Depreciation Methods

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    All depreciation methods have the following

    general formula:

    Depreciation Methods:

    1. Straight-line method

    2. Accelerated Methods (Double-declining-

    balance method)

    Straight-line Method

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    101/109

    101

    Straight-line method: Under the straight-line (SL)

    method, depreciation expense is recognized evenly

    over the estimated useful life of the asset.

    Consider the following example

    An asset (machine) with the following details:(1) cost of $100,000

    (2) salvage value of $10,000

    (3) useful life of 5 years

    Straight-line Depreciation Example

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    102/109

    102

    For the straight-line method, we use our illustrative asset toassign the following amounts to the depreciation formula:

    SL Example

  • 7/30/2019 PM Inventory

    103/109

    103

    For the assets first year of usage, $18,000 ($90,000 * 20%) of

    depreciation expense is reported in the income statement. At the end ofthat first year the asset is reported on the balance sheet as follows:

    Net book value (NBV) is cost less accumulated depreciation.

    At the end of year 2, the net book value will be reduced by another$18,000 to $64,000.
