How does different inventory valuation method affect the profit of the manufacturing industries?
Revenue-Cost of Goods Sold(CGS)=Gross Margin. The valuation of inventory drives the cost of goods sold (CGS). The higher the value of your inventory, the higher your CGS, thus lower gross margin. The lower the valuation of your inventory, the lower your CGS, thus higher gross margins.
Are temporary investments are reported on the balance sheet at cost?
NO,Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market value.
In applying the lower of cost or market method to inventory valuation market is defined as?
In the lower of cost or market method for inventory valuation, "market" is defined as the replacement cost of the inventory, but it cannot exceed the net realizable value (NRV) or be lower than the NRV less a normal profit margin. This approach ensures that inventory is valued conservatively, reflecting current market conditions. Essentially, market serves as a ceiling and a floor for valuing inventory, allowing for a more accurate representation of potential losses in value.
If your company uses the lower-of-cost-or-market rule to value its inventory and original cost is 420 and replacement cost is 365 should the 365 be used on the balance sheet?
Yes, because this is the current value of the inventory.
The two most widely used methods for determining the cost of inventory are?
Cost or Net Realisable Value, which ever is lower. Net realisable value can also include the cost of repairing damaged inventory to get it to a sellable condition.
What method gives highest or lowest ending inventory when prices are low?
When prices are low, the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method typically results in a higher ending inventory value. This is because FIFO assumes that the oldest, lower-cost inventory is sold first, leaving the newer, higher-cost inventory in ending inventory. Conversely, the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method would yield a lower ending inventory value in this scenario, as it assumes that the most recently purchased, potentially higher-cost items are sold first.

lower of cost or market
Inventory carrying cost and cost of not having it?

What does GAAP require for inventory of a company to be reported at?
GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) requires that inventory be reported at the lower of cost or market value. The cost includes all expenditures directly attributable to bringing the inventory to its present location and condition, such as purchase price, freight, and handling costs. Market value is defined as the current replacement cost of the inventory, but it cannot exceed the net realizable value or be lower than the net realizable value reduced by a normal profit margin. This approach ensures that inventory is not overstated on the financial statements.
