5.40 Measurement of assets Telstra’s financial report notes that property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Discuss the usefulness of measuring assets such as PPE at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Explain why an entity may elect to measure property at cost in the statement of financial position and disclose its fair value. What Telstra PPE has been written down due to impairment charges in the last two years? 5.51 Assigning a cost to inventory As a trainee accountant, you have been asked to determine the monetary value that should be assigned to the inventory of sporting equipment on hand as at the end of the financial year for Outdoor Adventures Ltd. You are currently looking at stocks of a training shoe that is very popular. The number of pairs of shoes on hand at the start of the accounting period was 200, and these had a monetary value of $10 000 assigned to them. During the year, a further 1500 pairs of the training shoe were purchased and, at the end of the year, a stocktake revealed that there were 60 pairs unsold. The purchases were made throughout the year. Five hundred pairs of shoes were purchased at a unit price of $60, a further 500 pairs of shoes at a unit price of $65 and a further 500 pairs at a price of $63. Required a. Differentiate the cost assigned to inventory of raining shoes using the (1) FIFO and (2) weighted-average cost assignment methods. b. LIFO is a permitted cost assignment method in the US but is not permitted under IFRSs. Compare the effect on assets and profits if LIFO was used rather than FIFO in times of rising cost prices. 2
