Inventory Accounting And Costing Course in San Pedro Sula FAQs

Inventory accounting and costing is the process of tracking and valuing the inventory of a business. It includes methods for assigning costs to inventory and recognising changes in the value of inventory over time.
The four primary inventory costing methods are: FIFO (First In, First Out), LIFO (Last In, First Out), Weighted Average Cost and Specific Identification. Each method impacts the valuation and profit reporting differently, depending on the inventory turnover and market conditions.
Inventory is accounted for by assigning a value to it on the balance sheet. Changes in inventory value are recorded using methods like FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average, and these affect the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and profit calculations.
The cost method of inventory accounting involves determining the cost of goods sold and the value of remaining inventory. Common methods include FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average, with each affecting the profit and financial statements differently.
The journal entry for inventory is typically: Debit Inventory (for purchases), Credit Accounts Payable or Cash (for payment). When inventory is sold, the entry involves: Debit Cost of Goods Sold and finally Credit Inventory.
Inventory is expensed through the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account when it is sold. This matches the cost of the inventory with the revenue it generates. The expense is recorded as part of the profit and loss statement.
