Real World Case 8–2
Physical quantities and costs included in inventory; Sport Chalet
• LO8–2
Real World Financials
Determining the physical quantity that should be included in inventory normally is a simple matter because that amount consists of items in the possession of the company. The cost of inventory includes all necessary expenditures to acquire the inventory and bring it to its desired condition and location for sale or for use in the manufacturing process.
Required:
1. Identify and describe the situations in which physical quantity included in inventory is more difficult than simply determining items in the possession of the company.
2. In addition to the direct acquisition costs such as the price paid and transportation costs to obtain inventory, what other expenditures might be necessary to bring the inventory to its desired condition and location?
3. Access EDGAR on the Internet. The web address is www.sec.gov. Search for Sport Chalet Inc., a leading operator of full-service, specialty sporting goods stores in California and Nevada. Access the 10-K filing for the most recent fiscal year. Search or scroll to find the disclosure notes (footnotes). What costs does Sport Chalet include in its inventory?

Note that the raw materials and finished goods inventory processes are outside the context of the system shown (i.e., the DFD covers work-in-process inventory only). a. Draw a context diagram for the system as it currently exists. b. Assume that both the raw materials and finished goods inventories are within the system context. Prepare a context diagram for the revised system, and redraw Figure 15.8 to reflect the revised system. Ignore the ordering of raw materials from vendors; start the raw materials process with the receipt of goods. Also ignore the issue of finished goods. Keep the assumption that the company uses standard costing for all inventories.arrow_forward

The longer its customers normally hold inventory, the longer the credit period supplier firms normally offer. Still, suppliers have some flexibility in the credit terms they offer. If a supplier lengthens the credit period offered, this will shorten the customer's cash conversion cycle but lengthen the supplier firm's own CCC. II. The cash conversion cycle (CCC) combines three factors: The inventory conversion period, the receivables collection period, and the payables deferral period, and its purpose is to show how long a firm must finance its working capital. Other things held constant, the shorter the CCC, the more effective the firm's working capital management. III. The target cash balance is typically (and logically) set so that it does not need to be adjusted for either seasonal patterns or unanticipated random fluctuations. IV.
