Concept Introduction:

Cost flow assumptions:

Cost flow assumptions refers to the methods available for assigning costs to the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory. The different methods that are available for assigning costs to inventories are FIFO, LIFO and weighted average cost of goods sold.

First-in, first-out (FIFO):

In FIFO method of inventory, the cost of goods sold and ending inventory are valued at the older prices. The cost of goods sold are valued at the older prices and the inventory which remains unsold are with the newest prices. This method says that, the inventory first purchased is first sold the ending inventory consists of the latest purchases.

Last-in, first-out (LIFO):

In LIFO method of inventory, the cost of goods sold and ending inventory are valued at the latest or the newest prices. The cost of goods sold are valued at the newest prices and the inventory which remains unsold are valued at the oldest prices. This method says that, the inventory last purchased is first sold and the ending inventory consists of the oldest purchases.

Weighted average cost method:

In weighted average cost method, the cost of goods sold and ending merchandise inventories are valued as price which is derived by dividing total cost of goods available for sale by total units available for sale

Accounting treatment of Increase of Decrease in value of inventory under US GAAP:

US GAAP requires companies to write down inventory when its value falls below the cost at which is it purchased or recorded. US GAAP requires companies to record their inventory at lower of cost or market value.

Any increase in the value of inventory is not permitted to be recorded under US GAAP even if the company had reduced the value of inventory in the previous year.

Accounting treatment of Increase of Decrease in value of inventory under IFRS:

IFRS requires companies to write down inventory when its value falls below the cost at which is it purchased or recorded. IFRS requires companies to record their inventory at lower of cost or market value.

IFRS allows companies to reverse the reduction in inventory carried in the previous periods, if the value of inventory increases in the current period. But the increase in inventory cannot exceed the original acquisition cost of inventory

Calculate the sample size based on the specifications in Buhi's contract. Make sure it is within budget, reasonable to obtain, and that you use appropriate inputs relative to market research best practices. Use the calculator to adjust the sample size statement. Use the agreed-upon sample size in Buhi's contract: 996. In your secondary research, find the target population size (an estimate of those in the United States looking to purchase luggage in the category in the next two years). You will use this target population size for each sample size estimate. Adjust the provided sample size calculator inputs to find the rest of the figures that get you to the agreed-upon sample size. The caveats from Buhi are that you must: Use the market research standard for your confidence level. Use a confidence interval that is better than the market research standard for your confidence interval.
