I wanted to talk a little bit about extra costs that must be included in inventory. Chapter 8 of the text discusses that all of the costs necessary to get the product in place must be considered inventory. This often results in freight and duty, or a portion of this to be capitalized. At my workplace, this presents a problem because items we bring from overseas are normally sent on a ocean vessel. However, sometimes we need a rush shipment and we use air freight and this is much more expensive. This has to be taken into consideration during our calculations.
