O-Level Principles of Accounts Quiz - Inventory Costing (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. C — LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) is not permitted under SFRS(I) 1-2 / IAS 2. Only FIFO, AVCO (Weighted Average Cost), and Specific Identification are allowed.

Mark: [1]

2. A — Cost of Sales = Opening Inventory + Purchases – Purchase Returns + Carriage Inwards – Closing Inventory

= $8,000 +$ 50,000 – $2,000 +$ 1,500 – $10,000 = **$ 47,500** Mark: [1]

3. D — Under FIFO in rising prices, the oldest (cheapest) costs are issued first to cost of sales, leaving the most recent (highest) costs in closing inventory. This results in lower cost of sales and higher gross profit compared to AVCO.

Mark: [1]

4. B — Days Sales in Inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover Ratio = 365 ÷ 8 = 45.625 ≈ 46 days (nearest day)

Mark: [1]

5. A — Lower of Cost and NRV: Cost = $150, NRV =$ 120 → $120 (the lower value). This applies the prudence concept.

Mark: [1]

6. C — Import duties and non-refundable taxes are included in inventory cost (SFRS(I) 1-2). Selling/distribution costs, abnormal waste, and general admin overheads are excluded.

Mark: [1]

7. A — AVCO (Periodic): Weighted Average Cost = (Opening Inventory Value + Purchases Value) ÷ (Opening Inventory Units + Purchases Units) = Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale ÷ Total Units Available for Sale

Mark: [1]

8. C — FIFO (Periodic):

Total units available = 200 + 300 + 150 = 650 units
Units sold = 250 units → Closing inventory = 400 units
Under FIFO, closing inventory = most recent purchases:
150 units × $6.00 =$ 900
250 units × $5.50 =$ 1,375
Total = $2,275** → Wait, recheck: Units sold = 250. FIFO assumes first 200 from opening @$ 5.00, next 50 from 10 June purchase @ $5.50. Remaining: 250 units from 10 June @$ 5.50 = $1,375; 150 units from 20 June @$ 6.00 = $900. Total closing inventory = **$ 2,275.
Correction: None of the options match. Let me recalculate the question setup.
Actually, the question asks for closing inventory value. Total units = 650. Sold = 250. Closing = 400 units.
FIFO: Closing = 150 units (20 June) @ $6.00 =$ 900 + 250 units (10 June) @ $5.50 =$ 1,375. Total = $2,275. But options are$ 1,650, $1,700,$ 1,750, $1,800. There's an error in the question design. Let me adjust the answer key to reflect the correct calculation based on the given data, noting the discrepancy. **Correct Answer based on data:$ 2,275 (not listed).** However, if we assume the question intended different numbers, the closest logic would be...
For the answer key, I'll show the correct working and note the issue. Mark: [1] — Note: The calculated answer ($2,275) does not match any option. The question may have a typo in the options.

9. A — Prudence concept: Profits must not be overstated and losses recognised immediately. Valuing inventory at lower of cost/NRV prevents overstatement of assets and profit.

Mark: [1]

10. B — Overstated closing inventory → Understated cost of sales → Overstated gross profit (current year). Next year, this overstated inventory becomes opening inventory → Overstated cost of sales → Understated gross profit (next year).

Mark: [1]

Section B: Short Answer and Calculation Questions (18 marks)

11. Net Realisable Value (NRV) is the estimated selling price of inventory in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale (e.g., selling and distribution costs).

Marking: 1 mark for "estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell", 1 mark for mentioning "ordinary course of business" or equivalent.
Total: [2]

12. Perpetual Inventory System: Inventory records are updated continuously after each purchase and sale. Cost of sales is calculated at the time of each sale. Provides real-time inventory balances.

Periodic Inventory System: Inventory records are updated only at the end of the period (e.g., year-end) via a physical count. Cost of sales is calculated using the formula: Opening Inventory + Purchases – Closing Inventory. No real-time tracking.
Marking: 1 mark for each system correctly described with key difference (continuous vs period-end update).
Total: [2]

13. FIFO (Periodic) Calculation:

Step 1: Total Units Available
Opening: 500 units
Purchases: 800 + 600 = 1,400 units
Total: 1,900 units

Step 2: Units Sold = 1,400 units
Closing Inventory Units = 1,900 – 1,400 = 500 units

Step 3: FIFO — Closing Inventory = Most Recent Purchases

600 units from 20 Aug @ $10.00 → but only 500 units needed
500 units × $10.00 =$ 5,000

Step 4: Cost of Sales
Cost of Goods Available for Sale = (500 × $8) + (800 ×$ 9) + (600 × $10) =$ 4,000 + $7,200 +$ 6,000 = $17,200** Cost of Sales =$ 17,200 – $5,000 = **$ 12,200
Alternatively: Issue oldest first: 500 @ $8 =$ 4,000; 800 @ $9 =$ 7,200; 100 @ $10 =$ 1,000. Total = $12,200.

Closing Inventory Value: $5,000** **Cost of Sales:** **$ 12,200
Marking: 1 mark for total units/closing units, 1 mark for correct FIFO layer identification, 1 mark for closing inventory value, 1 mark for cost of sales.
Total: [4]

14. AVCO (Periodic) Calculation:

Step 1: Weighted Average Cost per Unit
Total Cost = (500 × $8) + (800 ×$ 9) + (600 × $10) =$ 4,000 + $7,200 +$ 6,000 = ** $17,200** Total Units = 500 + 800 + 600 = **1,900 units** Average Cost =$ 17,200 ÷ 1,900 = $9.0526... ≈$ 9.05 (2 d.p.)

Step 2: Closing Inventory Value
Closing Units = 500 units
Value = 500 × $9.05 = **$ 4,525**

Step 3: Cost of Sales
= $17,200 –$ 4,525 = * $12,675** *Or: 1,400 units ×$ 9.05 = $12,670 (rounding difference of$ 5 acceptable)

Closing Inventory Value: ** $4,525** (accept$ 4,526.32 if unrounded average used)
Cost of Sales: ** $12,675** (accept$ 12,673.68 if unrounded average used)
Marking: 1 mark for total cost/units, 1 mark for average cost (2 d.p.), 1 mark for closing inventory, 1 mark for cost of sales.
Total: [4]

15. Lower of Cost and NRV (Item-by-Item Basis):

Item	Qty	Cost/unit	NRV/unit	Lower	Value
A	100	$25	$28	$25	$2,500
B	200	$15	$12	$12	$2,400
C	50	$80	$85	$80	$4,000
Total					$8,900

Total Inventory Value: $8,900
Marking: 1 mark for correct item-by-item comparison, 1 mark for correct lower values, 1 mark for correct total.
Total: [3]

16. Tan Retailers Ratios:

(a) Cost of Sales
= Opening Inventory + Purchases – Purchase Returns + Carriage Inwards – Closing Inventory
= $40,000 +$ 300,000 – $10,000 +$ 5,000 – $60,000 = **$ 275,000**
Mark: [2] (1 for formula, 1 for correct answer)

(b) Inventory Turnover Ratio
= Cost of Sales ÷ Average Inventory
Average Inventory = ( $40,000 +$ 60,000) ÷ 2 = ** $50,000** Inventory Turnover =$ 275,000 ÷ $50,000 = 5.50 times (2 d.p.)
Mark: [2] (1 for average inventory, 1 for ratio to 2 d.p.)

(c) Days Sales in Inventory
= 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover Ratio = 365 ÷ 5.50 = 66.36 days (2 d.p.)
Or: (Average Inventory ÷ Cost of Sales) × 365 = ( $50,000 ÷$ 275,000) × 365 = 66.36 days
Mark: [2] (1 for formula, 1 for answer to 2 d.p.)

(a) After 5 March Purchase:
Opening: 300 units @ $20.00 =$ 6,000
Purchase: 200 units @ $22.00 =$ 4,400
Total: 500 units, $10,400 Average Cost =$ 10,400 ÷ 500 = $20.80
Mark: [2] (1 for total cost/units, 1 for average to 2 d.p.)

(b) After 15 March Purchase:
First, account for 10 March sale of 250 units at $20.80:* Cost of sale = 250 ×$ 20.80 = $5,200 Balance before 15 Mar: 250 units @$ 20.80 = $5,200 Purchase 15 Mar: 100 units @$ 24.00 = $2,400 Total: 350 units,$ 7,600
Average Cost = $7,600 ÷ 350 = **$ 21.71* (2 d.p.)
Mark: [2] (1 for correct balance before purchase, 1 for new average to 2 d.p.)

19. Inventory Efficiency Comparison

(a) Inventory Turnover Ratio:

Business A:
Average Inventory = ( $60,000 +$ 100,000) ÷ 2 = $80,000 Turnover =$ 480,000 ÷ $80,000 = 6.00 times

Business B:
Average Inventory = ( $40,000 +$ 80,000) ÷ 2 = $60,000 Turnover =$ 520,000 ÷ $60,000 = 8.67 times (2 d.p.)

Mark: [2] (1 each correct to 2 d.p.)

(b) Days Sales in Inventory:

Business A: 365 ÷ 6.00 = 60.83 days
Business B: 365 ÷ 8.67 = 42.10 days (2 d.p.)

Mark: [2] (1 each correct to 2 d.p.)

(c) Comment:
Business B has a higher inventory turnover (8.67 vs 6.00 times) and lower days sales in inventory (42.10 vs 60.83 days), indicating more efficient inventory management — it converts inventory into sales faster, reducing holding costs and obsolescence risk. Business A holds inventory longer, which may indicate overstocking or slower-moving goods.
Mark: [2] (1 for identifying B is more efficient with evidence, 1 for explaining implication — faster conversion, lower holding risk)

20. Two Reasons for Choosing FIFO over AVCO:

Matches actual physical flow for many businesses (e.g., perishable goods, FIFO reflects reality of selling oldest stock first), making it more intuitive and justifiable to stakeholders.
Closing inventory valued at most recent costs → Statement of Financial Position shows inventory at current replacement cost approximation, providing more relevant information for decision-making.
(Alternative) In periods of rising prices, FIFO reports higher profit and higher inventory value, which may be preferred for loan covenants, investor confidence, or tax planning (though tax may prefer lower profit).
(Alternative) FIFO avoids the complexity of recalculating weighted averages after every purchase (under perpetual), making it simpler to operate manually.

Any two valid reasons.
Marking: 1 mark per distinct, valid reason (max 2).
