Inventory Write-Offs
When the obsolete product is eventually thrown out or abandoned, the value of the inventory requires further adjustment to reflect the actual loss sustained on the items. Using the computer example, if the computers are sold for $50,000, you would record the sale by debiting cost of goods sold by $50,000 and crediting inventory by $50,000. Then you would “zero out” the reserve balance by debiting the reserve by $150,000 and crediting inventory by $150,000. This would allow the inventory to be accurately valued. The contingency is an estimate, so it is unlikely that the loss you will sustain on the disposal of the goods will equal the amount you planned. If you initially overestimated your reserve, you would credit the difference between the reserve and your loss to cost of goods sold. If you underestimated your reserve, you would debit--or increase--the cost of goods sold by the difference.
So it eventually goes in COGS.should not be expense. just wondering if you put in expenses, what account you are going to debit this into? |
