Summary
Given divergences in both practice and guidance, inventory valuation can seem challenging. In this webinar, Anthony Pumphrey will illustrate simple, straightforward modifications to the valuation of inventory that you can incorporate into your valuation process. Review what comprises the book value of inventory and valuation guidance from the FASB, the IRS, and the AICPA. Next, walk through an example valuation of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods in accordance with this guidance. The example provided will reconcile the top-down (comparative sales) and bottom-up (cost of reproduction) methods. Finally, see an illustrated how-to account for product- and process-specific profit and expenses, reconcile to market participant data, and adjust supporting assets so as to not double count profit.
