Raider Industries must follow the Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value (LCNRV) Rule for its inventory. The following information was taken from Raider’s inventory records as of December 31, 2018: Selling Product ID Quantity Cost Price Number on Hand per Unit per Unit Item #101 8,000 $120.00 $110.00 Item #102 6,500 $24.00 $30.00 Item #103 12,000 $14.00 $16.00 Item #104 5,400 $8.00 $12.00 Item #105 1,000 $160.00 N/A Item #201 1,000 $180.00 N/A Item #202 3,000 $10.00 $11.00 Item #203 8,000 $32.00 $34.00 Raider has the following costs to sell associated with all of its products: 1. Sales commission of 10% of the selling price for each product 2. Packaging and delivery costs of 5% of the cost of each product
Requirements: Complete each of the following independent requirements:
a) Determine the carrying value of inventory at 12/31/18 assuming that Raider applies the LCNRV Rule to each specific product in its inventory. Also, assuming that Raider would record any loss recognized as a separate line item in its income statement, determine the amount of the loss (if any) that Raider would record for 2018.
b) Determine the carrying value of inventory at 12/31/18 assuming that Raider applies the LCNRV Rule to its total inventory. Also, assuming that Raider would record any loss recognized as a separate line item in its income statement, determine the amount of the loss (if any) that Raider would record for 2018.
Paper For Above instruction
This paper aims to evaluate Raider Industries' inventory valuation at December 31, 2018, under the Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value (LCNRV) rule, considering both specific and total inventory methods. The analysis involves detailed calculations based on the provided inventory data, cost and selling prices, as well as costs to sell, including sales commissions and packaging/delivery expenses. The ultimate goal is to determine the accurate carrying value of inventory and potential losses recognized for financial reporting in 2018.
Introduction
Inventory valuation is crucial in financial accounting because it directly impacts the reported gross profit, net income, and asset values. Most companies, including Raider Industries, follow the inventory valuation rule LCNRV, which prevents overstatement of assets by writing down the inventory to the lesser of the original cost or net realizable value (NRV). NRV is calculated as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business minus any estimated costs to complete and sell the inventory. This paper illustrates the application of the LCNRV rule using Raider Industries’ specific inventory data, with detailed calculations supporting the conclusions.
Part A: Specific Inventory LCNRV Calculation
Step 1: Determine Net Realizable Value (NRV) per Unit
NRV per unit is calculated as the estimated selling price minus costs to sell, which include sales commissions and packaging/delivery costs. The formula is:
NRV = Selling Price - (Sales Commission + Packaging & Delivery)
Where:
- Sales Commission = 10% of selling price
- Packaging & Delivery = 5% of the cost per unit
Step 2: Calculate NRV for Each Product
| Product ID | Selling Price | Cost per Unit | Sales Commission | Packaging & Delivery | NRV per Unit | Quantity on Hand | Total Cost | Total NRV | Lower of Cost or NRV? | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #101 | $110.00 | $120.00 | $11.00 | $6.00 | $110.00 - ($11 + $6) = $93.00 | 8,000 | $960,000 | $744,000 | Cost = $960,000; NRV = $744,000; Use NRV | $744,000 |
| #102 | $30.00 | $24.00 | $3.00 | $1.20 | $30.00 - ($3 + $1.20) = $25.80 | 6,500 | $156,000 | $167,700 | Cost = $156,000; NRV= $167,700; Use Cost | $156,000 |
| #103 | $16.00 | $14.00 | $1.60 | $0.70 | $16.00 - ($1.60 + $0.70) = $13.70 | 12,000 | $168,000 | $164,400 | Cost = $168,000; NRV = $164,400; Use NRV | $164,400 |
| #104 | $12.00 | $8.00 | $1.20 | $0.40 | $12.00 - ($1.20 + $0.40) = $10.40 | 5,400 | $43,200 | $56,160 | Cost = $43,200; NRV = $56,160; Use Cost | $43,200 |
| #105 | N/A | $160.00 | N/A | N/A | N/A | 1,000 | $160,000 | Cannot determine NRV; assume no sale | Use Cost | $160,000 |
| #201 | N/A | $180.00 | N/A | N/A | N/A | 1,000 | $180,000 | Cannot determine NRV; assume no sale | Use Cost | $180,000 |
| #202 | $11.00 | $10.00 | $1.10 | $0.50 | $11 - (1.10 + 0.50)= $9.40 | 3,000 | $30,000 | $28,200 | Cost = $30,000; NRV= $28,200; Use NRV | $28,200 |
| #203 | $34.00 | $32.00 | $3.40 | $1.60 | $34 - (3.40 + 1.60)= $29.00 | 8,000 | $256,000 | $232,000 | Cost = $256,000; NRV= $232,000; Use NRV | $232,000 |
Total Valuation Using Specific LCNRV
Adding up the lower value for each product, the total inventory valuation is:
- Item #101: $744,000
- Item #102: $156,000
- Item #103: $164,400
- Item #104: $43,200
- Item #105: $160,000
- Item #201: $180,000
- Item #202: $28,200
- Item #203: $232,000
Total Inventory Value (Specific LCNRV) = $744,000 + $156,000 + $164,400 + $43,200 + $160,000 + $180,000 + $28,200 + $232,000 = $1,747,000
Step 3: Calculate Loss (if any)
Loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the lower of cost or net realizable value. For each item, compare the original cost with the lower value and sum any differences where cost exceeds the NRV.
- #101: Cost $960,000 vs. NRV $744,000 → Loss $216,000
- #102: Cost $156,000 vs. NRV $156,000 → No loss
- #103: Cost $168,000 vs. NRV $164,400 → Loss $3,600
- #104: Cost $43,200 vs. NRV $43,200 → No loss
- #105: Cost $160,000 vs. NRV unknown, assume no loss (cost > NRV unknown)
- #201: Cost $180,000 vs. NRV unknown, assume no loss
- #202: Cost $30,000 vs. NRV $28,200 → Loss $1,800
- #203: Cost $256,000 vs. NRV $232,000 → Loss $24,000
Total Loss for 2018 = $216,000 + $3,600 + $1,800 + $24,000 = $245,400
Part B: Total Inventory LCNRV Calculation
Step 1: Aggregate Cost and NRV
Sum total cost of all inventory and total NRV.
- Total Cost = Sum of individual costs
- Total NRV = Sum of individual NRV where applicable, using original cost where NRV is unavailable
Calculate Total Cost
Total Cost = $960,000 + $156,000 + $168,000 + $43,200 + $160,000 + $180,000 + $30,000 + $256,000 = $1,953,200
Calculate Total NRV
Total NRV = $744,000 + $156,000 + $164,400 + $43,200 + $160,000 + $180,000 + $28,200 + $232,000 = $1,747,000
Determine Carrying Value and Loss
Since total cost ($1,953,200) exceeds total NRV ($1,747,000), inventory must be written down to the lower total NRV. The total loss is:
Loss = $1,953,200 - $1,747,000 = $206,200
Conclusion
The application of the LCNRV rule indicates that for specific inventory items, Raider Industries should report a total inventory value of $1,747,000 with a total loss of $245,400 for 2018. When applying the LCNRV rule to the total inventory, the value is $1,747,000, and the loss recognized is $206,200. These valuations align with accounting standards that seek to prevent overstating inventory assets and ensure appropriate loss recognition.
