Close the Launch and Look Ahead
What Students Should Leave With Today
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold
- Sarah's month became complicated because buying, selling, and pricing happened at different moments.
- Ending inventory is still a real asset on the shelf, not just a guess at month-end.
- The unit will teach the rules Sarah needs so she can defend that number with confidence.
Preview of Lesson 2
Lesson 2 starts building the first accounting rule Sarah needs: how businesses track the flow of inventory costs when the same kind of product is bought at different prices during the month.
FIFO, LIFO, specific identification, and weighted average all matter because Sarah cannot keep saying, "I know what is on the shelf, but I am not sure which costs belong there."
