SHINY is also required to submit, within 90 days of its year-end, audited financial statements to TD. Information on Inventory Cycle Most of the inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods. SHINY uses a periodic inventory system to track the physical quantity of goods on hand. The count is performed annually on January 31 of each year. Below are some details on the inventory and accounts payable cycle: Raw Materials Inventory SHINY uses the average costing method to price its raw materials (metals, stones, supplies, and packaging). The semiprecious stones and metals are purchased from suppliers in India and Mexico. Goods are shipped FOB shipping point (free on board shipping point means that ownership passes to the purchaser when goods leave the premises in India or Mexico). Goods take on average three weeks to arrive once the supplier has shipped them. The supplier notifies SHINY that the goods were shipped by emailing the freight and shipping documents. The party responsible (SHINY or the vendor) for insuring the goods during shipment is agreed to before shipment. All purchase orders are sent to the accounting department once issued. Shipping documents and freight/carrier invoices are emailed directly to the warehouse, after being reviewed (daily) by the purchasing manager and operations manager. All documents and freight/carrier invoices are sent to the accounting department. The accounting department matches the purchase orders and freight documents and then accrues the purchase. Work-in-Process and Finished Goods Inventory SHINY uses a job order costing system. Costs are applied to the finished goods as they pass through casting, polishing, stone setting, and packaging. A manual job ticket is attached to each production batch with quantity of metals, stones, packaging, and number of labour hours (the value is applied at standard labour hour rates).
