BFIN
- Consignor: an owner of inventory goods who ships them to another party who will
then nd a buyer and sell the goods for the owner.
- The consignor retains title to the goods while they are held o site by the consignee.
- Consignee: one who receives and holds goods owned by another party for the
purpose of acting as an agent and selling the goods for the owner.
- The consignee gets paid a fee from the consignor for nding a buyer.
- Consistency principle: the accounting requirement that a company use the
accounting policies period after period so that the nancial statements of
succeeding periods will be comparable.
- Day’s sales in inventory: a nancial analysis tool used to estimate how many days it
will take to convert the inventory on hand into accounts receivable or cash;
calculated by diving the ending inventory by cost of goods sold and mutiplying the
result by 365.

- Gross pro t ratio (Gross Margin Ratio): measures how much of net sales is gross
pro t (net sales - cost of goods sold); calculated as gross pro t divided by net sales.
- Net realizable value (NRV): the expected sales price of an item minus the cost of
making the sale.
- Retail price: the selling price of merchandise inventory.
- Inventory turnover: measures how e ciently a company turns over its inventory.
- Weighted average: a periodic inventory pricing system in which the total cost of
goods available for sale is divided by the Toal units available for sale. The resulting
weighted average unit cost is multiplied by the units in ending inventory and then by
the units that were sold.

total cost of goods available for sale / the total units for sale = weighted average

weighted average unit cost x the units in ending inventory x the units that were
sold = weight average.
