This session covers advanced inventory accounting concepts, specifically focusing on the Dollar Value LIFO method and the Retail Inventory Method. Learn how Dollar Value LIFO simplifies inventory valuation, minimizes liquidation risk, and helps maintain overall value. The Retail Inventory Method offers a more accurate estimation of inventory costs using retail information, including strategies for markdowns and averages. Gain insight into how these methodologies align with GAAP, and explore exceptions and applications in financial reporting and valuation strategies.
