where in the income statement do losses from inventory theft, shrinkage and breakage appear when the periodic inventory system is used? how does your answer differ under a perpetual inventory system?
我也看不懂...不过还是谢谢啦 :)作者: hope1908 时间: 5-5-2011 21:34
楼上达人。
under periodic system, you record your changes in inventory when you actually do the physical stock checking. In other words, inventory account balance is updated only at the end of the accounting period. Therefore, you cannot recognise an inventory shortage in this case.
However under a perpetual system, you update your invemtory account after every purchase or sale. At the end of the accounting period, you can compare the balance in your inventory account with the amount of your physically stock. Therefore you can recognise an inventory shortage.
For inventory theft, shrinkage and breakage, you should record:
Dr Inventory Shortage XXX
Cr Inventory XXX
The inventor shortage is an expense account, so it should appear in your income statement. Inventory is your assets account, so you should put it in your balance sheet.
