DO IT! 4 LCNRV and Inventory Turnover
Poon Heaters sells three different types of home heating stoves
(gas, wood, and pellet). The cost and net realizable value of its
inventory of stoves are as follows.
Cost Net Realizable Value
Gas NT$ 84,000 NT$ 79,000
Wood 250,000 280,000
Pellet 112,000 101,000
Determine the value of the company’s inventory under the lower-
of-cost-or-net realizable value approach.
Solution: The lowest value for each inventory type is gas
NT$79,000, wood NT$250,000, and pellet NT$101,000. The total
inventory value is the sum of these amounts, NT$430,000.

DO IT! 4 Inventory Turnover
Early in 2020, Westmoreland Company switched to a just-in-time
inventory system. Its sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and
inventory amounts for 2019 and 2020 are shown below.
2019 2020
Sales revenue NT$2,000,000 NT$1,800,000
Cost of goods sold 1,000,000 910,000
Beginning inventory 290,000 210,000
Ending inventory 210,000 50,000
Determine the inventory turnover and days in inventory for 2019
and 2020.
2019 2020
Inventory NT$1,000,000 NT$910,000
turnover =4 =7
(NT$290,000 + NT$210,000)/2 (NT$210,000 + NT$50,000)/2
Days in 365 ÷ 4 = 91.3 Days 365 ÷ 7 = 52.1 Days

Retail Inventory Method
Illustration: It is not necessary to take a physical inventory to
determine the estimated cost of goods on hand.
At Cost At Retail
Beginning inventory $14,000 $ 21,500
Goods purchased 61,000 78,500
Goods available for sale $75,000 100,000
Less: Net sales 70,000
Step (1) Ending inventory at retail = $ 30,000
Step (2) Cost-to-retail ratio = $75,000 ÷ $100,000 = 75%
Step (3) Estimated cost of ending inventory = $30,000 x 75% = $22,500
