I think the follow is wrong from 2009 becker's chapter 4 supplement hw readings pg 69, shouldn't mark downs be excluded from the calculation of the cost to retail ratio like on page 66? Any thoughts ?

 

Cost Retail Inventory Method

Under the cost retail inventory method, the markdowns go above the "total available for

sale" line. Therefore, the result must be adjusted to "lower of cost or market."

At Cost At Retail

Beginning inventory $ 25,000 $ 39,000

Purchases 35,000 60,000

Markups -- 1,000

Markdowns -- (2,000)

Total available for sale $ 60,000 ÷ $ 98,000 = 61.22% cost complement

Sales -- (88,000)

Ending inventory at retail $ 10,000

Ending inventory at cost

($10,000 x 61.22%) $ 6,122

It's a conventional or lower of cost or market method. Under this method markdowns are included in calculation of the ratio. If the problem says that it's not adjusted to lower of cost or market, then, don't include the markdowns.
