1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (in part)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market as determined primarily by the retail method of accounting, using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for substantially all of the Walmart U.S. segment’s merchandise inventories. Inventories for the Walmart International operations are primarily valued by the retail method of accounting, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. At January 31, 2016 and 2015, our inventories valued at LIFO approximate those inventories as if they were valued at FIFO.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenue net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns at the time it sells merchandise to the customer. Customer purchases of shopping cards are not recognized as revenue until the card is redeemed and the customer purchases merchandise by using the shopping card. The Company also recognizes revenue from service transactions at the time the service is performed. Generally, revenue from services is classified as a component of net sales on our consolidated statements of income.
