Definition of Inventories(IAS2)
Inventories are assets:
• Held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
• In the process of production for such sale; or
• In the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.
Slide 10.3
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Measurement of Inventories
Inventories are measured "at the lower of cost and net realizable value" (IAS2)
• Cost comprises "all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition".
• Net realizable value is "the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale".
Slide 10.4
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Conversion Costs
• Costs directly related to production (such as direct materials, direct labor) plus a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads.
• Fixed production overheads are indirect costs of production which remain fairly constant (e.g. depreciation of factory buildings, costs of factory management).
• Variable production overheads are indirect costs of production which vary with volume of production (e.g. indirect materials and labor).
Slide 10.5
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Fixed Production Overheads
• Allocation of fixed production overheads to units of production is based on normal activity.
• If actual activity is less than normal, unallocated fixed overheads are recognised as an expense, not as part of cost of goods produced.
• If actual activity is greater than normal, the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is decreased.
Slide 10.6
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Costs Excluded From the Cost of Inventories
• Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labor or other production costs.
• Storage costs, unless necessary in the production process before a further production stage.
• Administrative overheads not incurred to bring inventories to their present location or condition.
• Selling costs.
Slide 10.7
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Cost Formulas
• The cost of inventories that are not inter-changeable should be ascertained "by using specific identification of their individual costs".
• For interchangeable items, costs are ascertained using either of the following cost formulas:– First-In, First-Out (FIFO);– Weighted average cost.
• Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) is not allowed.
Slide 10.8
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Cost Flow AssumptionsIFRS
► The same cost flow assumptions must be used for inventory with a similar nature and use even if inventory is held in different geographic locations and/or by different entities.
► LIFO method is not allowed:
► This is significant to some companies because of taxation implications. If IFRS is adopted with no changes made in the current standards and the current tax laws, then companies will have to pull the LIFO reserve back into their taxable income over a four-year period.
US GAAP
► Different cost flow assumptions may be used for inventory with a
similar nature and use.
► LIFO method is allowed:
► The IRS has a conformity rule that requires LIFO to be used for book purposes if it is used for tax purposes.
Slide 10.9
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Cost Flow AssumptionsAnalysis of companies as of 2010:
Variable Mean Median
Reserve balance (in millions) $294
$38
Net income (in millions) $686$99
LIFO reserve/operating income 65% 17%
LIFO reserve/net income129%
24%
LIFO reserve/assets4%
2%
LIFO reserve/inventory*8%
14%
*Inventory is the LIFO inventory with the reserve added back.
Analysis of companies as of 2010 using Compustat: 6,423 companies in the sample of which 4,459 companies had inventory of which 302 companies had a LIFO reserve.
► Exxon had a reserve of $21.3 billion in 2010 and $17.1 billion in 2009. In 2010, this was 53% of Exxon’s operating income, 70% of its net income and 7% of its assets.
► Carpenter Technology Corp. had a reserve balance that was 28 times its operating income and 158 times its net income in 2010.
Slide 10.10
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Lower of Cost or Market
US GAAP
• Reports at the LCM:
– Market is defined as replacement cost with a floor (NRV less normal profit margin) and a ceiling (NRV).
– NRV is defined as the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and sale.
• Reversals of prior write-downs are not allowed.
IFRS
► Reports at the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV):► NRV is defined as the
estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and sale.
► Since replacement cost would typically be less than NRV, IFRS will generally result in lower write-downs than US GAAP.
► Reversals of prior write-downs can be made and recognized in income.
Slide 10.11
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Net Realizable Value (NRV)
• The costs and NRV of inventories should normally be compared "item by item" (IAS2).
• However, similar or related items may be grouped if this is appropriate.
Slide 10.12
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Example 1 – inventory write-down
Part 1:On December 31, 2010, Jets International had an inventory of five different types of airplane parts. Given the current fuel costs, airplane parts are not as valuable as they once were. The chart on the next slide provides the cost basis, net realizable value, replacement cost and net realizable value less normal profit margin as of December 31, 2010. Jets International prepares its inventory valuation comparisons on an item-by-item basis.

Original cost 58,000 Original cost $58,000LCM 50,000 LCNRV 52,000Write-down $8,000 Write-down $6,000
US GAAP journal entry: IFRS journal entry:
COGS $8,000 Inventory write-down expense $6,000 Inventory $8,000 Inventory valuation allowance $6,000
The amount of inventory write down in this example is $8,000 using US GAAP because the LCM is less than the original cost. The amount is to be recorded in the income statement to COGS and directly to inventory because a future reversal of write-downs is not permitted. Using IFRS, the write-down is $6,000 because the LCNRV is less than the original cost. The write-down is not required to be recorded in a specific income statement account. A valuation allowance is used because future reversals of write-downs are permitted.

Inventory Write-down Reversal Example
Example 1 – write-down reversal
Part 2:The airline industry’s business was so terrible during 2011 that Jets International still had the same five parts in its inventory as of December 31, 2011. However, fuel prices have decreased, so the outlook is more optimistic. As of the end of the year, Jets International’s original cost basis, net realizable value, replacement cost and net realizable value less the normal profit are as shown on the next slide.

Inventory Write-down Reversal Example
Part 2 solution (continued):No reversal of a write-down is permitted using US GAAP.
IFRS:December 31, 2011 LCNRV $56,000December 31, 2010 LCNRV 52,000Write-down $ 4,000
Journal entry:
Inventory valuation allowance $4,000Inventory write-down expense $4,000
Since the LCNRV at December 31, 2011 exceeds the LCNRV at December 31, 2010 by $4,000, this amount is recorded as a reversal to the previous write-down.
Slide 10.20
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Main Disclosures Relating to Inventories
• Accounting policies adopted, including any cost formula used
• Total carrying amount of inventories and analysis of carrying amount into appropriate classifications
• Amount of inventories recognised as an expense in the period
• Amount of any write-down to NRV or any reversal of previous write-down.
Slide 10.21

Construction Contracts
IAS11 defines a construction contract as "a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use".
Construction contracts include:
• Contracts for the rendering of services that are directly related to the construction of assets (e.g. contracts for the services of project managers and architects);
• Contracts for the destruction or restoration of assetsand for the restoration of the environment after the demolition of assets.
Slide 10.22
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Contract Revenue
• The initial amount of revenue agreed in the contract
• Plus or minus the revenue associated with agreed variations in the contract work
• Plus amounts claimed by the contractor as reimbursement for costs not included in the contract price (e.g. costs arising from delays caused by the customer)
• Plus incentive payments to which the contractor is entitled for meeting or exceeding performance targets
• Minus penalties arising from delays or other problems caused by the contractor.
Slide 10.23
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Contract Costs
• Costs that relate directly to the specific contract (e.g. materials, labor, plant hire, depreciation of equipment used in the construction work)
• Costs that relate to contract activity in general and can be allocated to the contract (e.g. insurance, construction overheads)
• Other costs that are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Excluded costs include general administration or research and development costs for which reimbursement is not specified in the terms of the contract and selling costs.
Slide 10.24
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Recognition of Contract Revenue and Expenses
IAS11 requires that contract revenue and expenses are recognized "by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period“ – Percentage of completion. The stage of completion may be determined by:
• Comparing the costs incurred for the work performed to date with the estimated total contract costs
• Carrying out a survey of the work performed to date
• Considering the physical proportion of the contract work completed.
Slide 10.25
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
IFRS
► The completed-contract method is not permitted. If the criteria for using the percentage-of-completion method are not met, then the entity recognizes revenue to the extent that costs are incurred (as long as the costs are likely to be recovered) and recognizes costs as incurred.
US GAAP
► If the percentage-of-completion criteria aren’t met, then the completed-contract method is used.
► The AICPA Accounting Trends and Techniques for 2010 reported that of 500 companies sampled for 2009, 124 had long-term construction contracts. Of these 124 companies, 20 used completed-contract accounting.
Completed-contract method

Example 2 – revenue on construction contract
ALNP Construction Company (ALNP) has entered into a contract with total expected revenue of $5.6 million. ALNP expects that total costs will be $4.9 million. Below are the costs, billings and cash collections for each of the three years of the contract (amounts in millions).
► Prepare all necessary journal entries for the three years under the scenarios on the next slide. Use construction in progress (CIP) as a clearing account for your journal entries.
► Also provide the balances of the various accounts that will be reported on the financial statements each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs this year $1.40 $1.65 $1.85
Billings this year $1.30 $2.40 $1.90
Cash collected this year
$1.00 $2.20 $2.40
Revenue on Construction Contract Example
Based on surveys of the stage of completion, it was determined the contract was 30% complete in year 1, 65% complete in year 2 and 100% complete in year 3.

Revenue on Construction Contract Example
Example 2 (continued):
Two scenarios:
1. The company reports using IFRS and meets the criteria necessary to use the percentage-of-completion method. ALNP uses the revenue-cost approach.
2. The company reports using IFRS and does not meet the criteria necessary to use the percentage-of-completion method. ALNP is not able to reliably estimate its revenue until the final year of the contract.
Slide 10.28
Alan Melville, International Financial Reporting, 3rd Edition, © Pearson Education Limited 2011
Revenue on Construction Contract Example
Example 2 solution:
The first scenario uses the percentage-of-completion, revenue-cost approach since that is the only approach allowed using IFRS.
The second scenario uses the method whereby the entity recognizes revenue to the extent that costs are incurred and recognizes costs as incurred.
Journal entries and account balances are shown on the next slides.

Recognition of Expected Losses
• If at any stage it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss must be recognized immediately.
• Although expected profits are spread over the period of the contract, expected losses are accounted for as soon as they become probable.

Disclosures Required by IAS11
• The amount of contract revenue recognized during
the accounting period
• The methods used to determine contract revenue
• The methods used to determine stage of completion
• For contracts in progress at the end of the reporting period:
– The total costs incurred to date and total recognized profits/losses to date
– The amount of any advances received
– The amount of any retentions.
