12.
JOINT PRODUCT
Two ormore outputs generated simultaneously, by a single manufacturing
process using common input, and being substantially equal in value.
Joint products are separately unidentifiable, and incur undifferentiated
joint costs, until they reach the split-off point.
So how to allocate Joint cost ?
JOINT PRODUCT
- When products become separable, they will be allocated
between rational and consistent basis such as relative
sales value of products
- If small in value, do not allocate: Measure by-product at
NRV and deduct this amount from main product costs.
13.
OTHER INVENTORIABLE COSTS
-Include those costs that are used in
bringing inventories to their present
location and condition
- Example: non production overheads or
cost of designing products for specific
customers.
- Borrowing cost(IAS-23): in some
specific conditions (interest) can be
included in inventory costs.
14.
Agricultural Produce
- Accordingto IAS 41 – Agriculture, when
biological assets (such as tea, rice, wheat,
mangoes, milk, etc.) are harvested or collected,
the produce is initially measured at fair value
less costs to sell. This measured amount
becomes the cost of inventories.

Standard Cost
Method
used foraccounts of
normal level of materials,
supplies, labours,
efficiency and capacity
Retail inventory
Method
used in retail industry for
measuring large number of
rapidly changing items.
cost is determined by reducing
the sales value of inventory by
percentage gross margin.
For convenience to approximate cost of inventories
18.
Specific
Identification
- Not interchangeable
inventory
-For specific projects
- Inappropriate when
there are large
number of items that
are changeable
FIFO
Cost of latest purchases
ends up in cost of ending
inventory,
cost of earliest purchases
are in cost of goods sold.
Weighted Average
Weighted average cost of
all goods available for
sale ends up in
both ending goods
available for sale and
cost of goods sold
- Assign recent cost to ending inventories
- 3 types of cost fomulas used depending upon the nature of inv
Same nature of inventories => same cost formulas

The December 31, 2015 inventory of Fteam Company
consists of two product: 10 units of 101 and 20 units of
102. Before adjustment, the cost and carrying amount of
the total inventory is 1,600/-
Determine the amount of inventory to report on the Dec
31, 2016 Balance sheet and Prepare any necessary
adjusting entry

To write inventory down to the lower cost and net reliable
value: 1,600 - 1,400 = 200/-
Solution
24.
Example
Assume that 10units of inventory product 102
from the example above remain in inventory at 31
April 2015. The cost to sell each unit is still 20/-,
but the market has recovered for these items and
their expected selling price is now 90/-. What
adjusting entry, If any, is needed at 31 April, 2015

- Inventory isa current asset
- Inventory is expensed (COGS)…….
when the related revenue is recognized……
- Inventory adjustments (losses, write-down to LC and
NRV, write-down reversals, etc.) are recognized as an
adjustments to the expense which recognized in the
period.

Accounting policies applied
•Identify cost formula used (FIFO or Weighted
average)
• Cost components
• Valuation (LC or NRV)
Balance sheet
• Carrying amount in each category of inventory
• Carrying amount of any inventory measured at fair
value less costs to sell
• Carrying amount of inventory pledged as collateral for
liabilities
Income statement
• Cost of inventories expensed in period
• Amount of writedowns to NRV or other losses
• Amount of any writedown reversals
• Circumstances that resulted in reversals
30.
Inventory should bemeasured at the lower of cost
or net realizable value.
Cost should be assigned using the FIFO or
weighted average cost methods.
LIFO is an alternative treatment.
When the cost of inventories is determined using
the LIFO method, the financial statements should
disclose the difference between the amount of
inventories as shown in the balance sheet and the
amount which would have been shown if prepared
in accordance with FIFO or weighted average cost
methods.
In Bangladesh, under Bangladesh Accounting
Standard 2 (BAS 2), which is the adaptation of
International Accounting Standard 2 (IAS 2),
inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net
realizable value (NRV).
Goods issued can be valued under any of following
methods:
1. Weighted average method
2. FIFO
Inventory is defined as assets:
1. held for sale in the ordinary course of business
2. in the process of the production for such sale;
or
3. in the form of materials or supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the
rendering of service
Iventories are defined as assets held for sale in the
ordinary course of business, assets in the process of
production for sale, or materials and supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the
rendering of services. These include things like
finished goods, work-in-progress, and raw materials.
