INVENTORY VALUATION Retailers, such as college bookstores, use the retail method instead of the more familiar FIFO/LIFO methods of inventory valuation because it is easier to comply with GAAP reporting under the retail method. FIFO or LIFO would not be very effective in this scenario because it would be tough to account for which books were purchased in what order. Not only would it be difficult to decipher the order in which the books came, but it would also be tough to keep track of individual textbook prices. As a result, certain retailers, such as The University Store, use the retail method, which estimates the value of ending inventory through the cost to price ratio. Under the retail method, retailers only have to keep track of retail value of goods available for sale, retail value of goods purchased and total costs.

On the other hand de Botton in his article, “On Habit” says how living an ordinary life rather than a marvelous one is also interesting. It is not that we always have to travel marvelous (Famous) places which we even don’t know about because we can also travel in our own neighborhood an ordinary place and still have fun observing things which we never had looked before with an interest. The traveling mindset that we have does not depend on the places that we go but how we approach those places. Later on, it shows that Slater focuses on to achieve marvelous things but at the same time not forget your essential humanity and still think that we are ordinary people and not cross limits.

The introductory gives a little background on how the TYC came about. The location and make-up of the Giddings State School. The format of this book made it an easy read.
