Judgment Case 8–3
The specific identification inventory method; inventoriable costs
• LO8–3, LO8–4
Happlia Co. imports household appliances. Each model has many variations and each unit has an identification number. Happlia pays all costs for getting the goods from the port to its central warehouse in Des Moines. After repackaging, the goods are consigned to retailers. A retailer makes a sale, simultaneously buys the appliance from Happlia, and pays the balance due within one week.
To alleviate the overstocking of refrigerators at a Minneapolis retailer, some were reshipped to a Kansas City retailer where they were still held in inventory at December 31, 2018. Happlia paid the costs of this reshipment. Happlia uses the specific identification inventory costing method.
Required:
- 1. In regard to the specific identification inventory costing method:
- a. Describe its key elements.
- b. Discuss why it is appropriate for Happlia to use this method.
- 2. a. What general criteria should Happlia use to determine inventory carrying amounts at December 31, 2018?
b. Give four examples of costs included in these inventory carrying amounts.
- 3. What costs should be reported in Happlia’s 2018 income statement? Ignore lower of cost or market considerations.

Exercise 6-15 (Algo) Approaches for estimating stand-alone selling prices [LO6-6]
Video Planet (VP) sells a big screen TV package consisting of a 60-inch plasma TV, a universal remote, and on-site installation by VP
staff. The installation includes programming the remote to have the TV interface with other parts of the customer's home entertainment
system. VP concludes that the TV, remote, and installation service are separate performance obligations. VP sells the 60-inch TV
separately for $1,790, sells the remote separately for $120, and offers the entire package for $1,980. VP does not sell the installation
service separately. VP is aware that other similar vendors charge $170 for the installation service. VP also estimates that it incurs
approximately $120 of compensation and other costs for VP staff to provide the installation service. VP typically charges 50% above
cost on similar sales.

Solomon's strategy is to obtain the best price by letting the suppliers know that it buys from the lowest bidder. Approximately four years ago, unexpected increases in demand resulted in materials shortages. Solomon was unable to find the materials it needed even though it was willing to pay premium prices. Because of the lack of raw materials, Solomon was forced to close its manufacturing facility for two weeks. Its president vowed that her company would never again be at the mercy of its suppliers. She immediately ordered her purchasing agent to perpetually maintain a one-month supply of raw materials. Compliance with the president's orders resulted in a raw materials inventory amounting to approximately $1,690,000. Warehouse rental and personnel costs to maintain the inventory amounted to $7,500 per month. Solomon has a line of…arrow_forward
