Selling expense or a part of SG&A
selling expense
cost of goods sold... which is an expense.... when you see FOB freight in/out is and then is added to purchases later on to calculate COGS
Freight out is typically classified as a selling expense. It includes the cost of shipping goods to customers and is directly related to the sales process. Cost of goods sold, on the other hand, includes the direct production costs of goods sold, such as materials, labor, and overhead expenses.
the transportation charge that we pay for is freight inward when we are importing something from suppliers, and is freight outward when we are selling to customers.
ASC 330, Inventory, states shipping costs (read: freight out) do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present condition and location and as such should not be included in inventory costs. Because freight out is not considered a product cost, not only would you not capitalize freight out into inventory on the balance sheet, but you would also not record this cost as a COGS item, but rather a sales expense (SG&A). On the other hand, freight in is a purchase cost as it gets inventory to its current location (ie your warehouse), so that cost should be capitalized as inventory on your balance sheet which will later be recognized as a COGS item when you sell the related inventory.
You do..? Freight Inwards should be included in the costs of goods sold, as it is a direct cost in getting your goods ready for sale. After you have calculated all your COGS (opening + purchases - closing (-freight inwards (expenses))), it should be subtracted from your sales figure to get your gross profit....I think..?
CF means cargo and freight in shipping terms. The person who is selling goods pay for the cost of the goods and freight charges. CF has been replaced with CFR.
Which account is not classified as a selling expense?
M. Rounding has written: 'Selling freight services'
Freight-in is not considered an asset; rather, it is an expense that relates to the cost of transporting goods purchased by a company. This cost is typically included in the cost of inventory on the balance sheet until the inventory is sold. Once the inventory is sold, the freight-in cost contributes to the cost of goods sold (COGS) on the income statement. Therefore, while it affects the value of inventory, freight-in itself is classified as an expense in accounting terms.
