Hello everyone. Welcome to chapter five,
[4]
and in this video we're going to be
[6]
doing an example using specific
[7]
identification
[8]
to deal with inventory costing. I'm going
[11]
to show you how
[12]
I normally do it based on the
[14]
information that's given and the way
[16]
it's provided.
[17]
It just made sense to me I've always had
[20]
to find different ways to
[22]
figure things out to where it made sense
[23]
to me and kind of different
[25]
processes in order to figure them out
[27]
and so I'm going to show you mine this
[28]
may not work for you but it kind of gets
[30]
to the point across hopefully it will
[32]
help you a little bit in understanding
[33]
this.
[34]
So we're going to be dealing with delta
[36]
company and delta company has the
[37]
following beginning inventory and
[39]
purchases
[40]
and sales for the year, and it gives it
[42]
to us and then it says based on delta's
[44]
records we know that
[45]
of the 29 units sold six of them came
[48]
from the inventory that was already
[49]
there at the beginning,
[51]
12 of them came from the inventory that
[53]
was purchased on april 15th,
[55]
and 11 of them came from the inventory
[57]
purchased on october 10th.
[59]
Now it's important for you to understand
[61]
that that's what makes specific
[63]
identification what it is,
[64]
is we know exactly where they came from
[67]
what we sold we know exactly what batch
[69]
they came from and how much they cost us,
[71]
so that paragraph for this problem is
[75]
super important, and then it asks us to
[77]
compute the total cost of goods sold, the
[79]
gross profit, and the ending inventory
[81]
we're also going to do the journal
[82]
entries for this, so let's begin.
[85]
So 1-1 it says the beginning inventory
[86]
we had nine already in-house that
[89]
those nine cost us 25 apiece,
[92]
now we're not going to do a journal
[93]
entry for that because they're already
[95]
in our warehouse they're beginning
[96]
inventory and remember we do not do
[98]
journal entries for beginning amounts uh
[100]
we only do for the
[101]
the additions of so now we're going to
[104]
move to
[105]
april 15th where we had our first
[107]
purchase of the year,
[108]
and it was for 16 units at 27 apiece,
[112]
so if we multiply that out 16 times the
[114]
27
[115]
that's going to give us 432, and so now
[118]
we know how much it cost us in total
[119]
we can do our journal entry, so 415 we
[122]
increased our inventory
[124]
by 432 and we decreased cash because
[128]
that's how we paid for it
[129]
for 432 as well that takes care of that
[133]
date. Now we go to october 10th
[136]
where we had another purchase of 22
[139]
units
[140]
at 30 a piece, and so if we multiply that
[143]
again
[143]
that's going to give us 660, so it lets
[146]
us know how much our inventory is worth
[147]
so we can do our journal entry,
[149]
so 1010 our inventory goes up by
[152]
660, and then we're going to credit cash
[155]
because our cash goes down
[157]
by 660. All right, that takes care of
[159]
that one.
[160]
Now we get to december 20th now this is
[163]
our sale
[164]
we've sold the inventory so I'm going to
[166]
go ahead and begin
[168]
by getting my journal entry ready I know
[171]
what it's supposed to look like so I'm
[172]
going to put 2020
[173]
I'm going to put cash and sales revenue
[176]
and then I'm also going to go ahead and
[177]
put cost of goods sold
[179]
and inventory, that's my two part.
[182]
So now we can go and calculate our sales
[185]
revenue in order to do that we just need
[186]
to know how much we sold
[188]
uh and what we sold it for, so we have uh
[191]
sold 29 units and those 29 units we sold
[194]
at 50
[194]
a piece so if we multiply that out
[196]
that's going to give me a total sales
[198]
revenue of 1450,
[200]
so I go ahead and put that into my
[202]
journal entries so 1450, 1450
[205]
Next to cash and sales revenue next, I
[208]
have to calculate my cost of goods sold
[211]
in order to do that I need to know how
[213]
much each of the the units that I
[215]
sold cost me not what I what I uh
[218]
sold them at but what they cost me so in
[221]
order to do that
[223]
I need to know how many I actually have
[224]
to expense I used
[226]
29 so I have to expense 29. Now again
[229]
we're doing specific notifications so we
[231]
know exactly where those 29 units came
[233]
from
[234]
so starting with the first one it says
[235]
that we knew that six units came from
[237]
the inventory at the very beginning,
[239]
so that's where I'm going to start. Let's
[240]
say I want to expense six units
[242]
and those six units were at 25 dollars a
[244]
piece so if I multiply that out that's
[246]
going to give me a total of
[247]
150, now before I move on to the next
[250]
number I'm going to go ahead and clean
[252]
up some stuff because if you look at the
[254]
top problem
[255]
I don't have nine at 25 in my beginning
[258]
inventory anymore because I took six of
[259]
them out,
[260]
so I'm going to put a little slash and
[262]
tell myself, okay, I still have three of
[264]
those left,
[265]
okay, again I'm just setting myself up
[267]
for later on in the problem as well.
[269]
All right. So the next one is I know we
[271]
sold 12
[273]
out of the april batch so I'll take 12
[277]
and those 12 cost me 27 a piece multiply
[280]
that out that's going to be 324,
[283]
again I know I don't have 6 anymore at
[285]
the top of the 16
[286]
anymore at the top of the problem I'm
[289]
going to take
[290]
you know slash that out I have 4
[291]
remaining, if I had 16 I sold 12 of them
[294]
I have four remaining.
[296]
All right. And I also know that 11 of
[298]
them came from the october batch
[301]
so 11 those 11 cost me 30
[304]
a piece so multiply that out that's
[305]
going to give me 330,
[307]
again I'm going to put a little slash
[309]
mark across 22 because I don't have 22
[311]
anymore I now have 11 because I sold 11
[313]
of them,
[314]
so now I'm cleaned up at the top as well.
[316]
I can add up those three numbers at the
[319]
bottom
[319]
the 150, the 324, and the 330, and that is
[322]
going to give me a total of 804
[324]
and that is my total cogs for this sale,
[327]
that's what it cost me
[328]
to sell those 29. So I can put that into
[332]
the journal entry
[334]
uh cogs of 804, an inventory of 804,
[338]
and now I can finish up the problem it
[339]
asks us to compute the
[341]
cost of goods sold which we did cost of
[343]
goods sold was 804,
[344]
it also asked us to compute the gross
[346]
profit and we know gross profit
[349]
equals sales revenue minus cogs
[353]
and so we just put the numbers in there.
[354]
So our sales revenue was 14.50,
[357]
cogs was 804,
[360]
subtract the two that's going to give me
[362]
a gross profit of
[364]
646, that's my gross profit.
[368]
The last thing I want to do is find out
[369]
what my ending inventory is going to be,
[371]
my ending inventory is what I still have
[373]
left in the the warehouse
[375]
and that's why I cleaned up that top
[376]
piece I still have
[378]
an ending inventory three at 25
[383]
that gives me 75. I have four
[387]
at 27 multiply that out that's going to
[389]
give me one
[390]
108, and then 11 at 30
[394]
that's going to give me 330. If I add
[397]
all that up that's going to give me an
[399]
ending inventory balance of 513.
[402]
So that's how you do a problem dealing
[404]
with specific identification when you
[406]
have all your purchases at one time and
[408]
then the sale at the very end.
[410]
Hopefully that made sense to you,
[411]
hopefully you enjoyed it. You all take
[413]
care.
