  • This video shows how to use the retail inventory method in Financial Accounting. The retail inventory method is a quick and cheap way to estimate the ending inventory. Instead of doing a physical count of the inventory, you calculate the cost-to-retail percentage and use it to determine how much inventory was in Cost of Goods Sold, which then allows you to calculate the ending inventory. The video provides an example that shows how to compute the ending inventory using the cost-to-retail percentage.
    There are a couple of drawbacks to using the retail inventory method. It is not very accurate if the cost-of-retail percentage is different for each of the products that the company sells or if the cost-of-retail percentage varies over time.-

    Thank you! My class is online with no lectures and I was not understanding this from the reading.

      This video is a lot more like a gross profit method and not the retail inventory method

    Hi, could you make a more detailed discussion of the retail method? Please make use of a manufacturing company with normal and abnormal losses in production as example. I would really appreciate it.

    Why was this not done in a table? Thanks

    so why this method even exist if we know there is no way we can use it as the price of material definetely will increased over time, and also it's quite rare the company sell only 1 product?

    I see very useless this exercise, it seems like a way to complicate life and not even useful since the two "hypotheses" (1 and 2) are clearly impossible. it would be like finding a company that is an astral alignment.
    Why did they come up with this hahah?
