Analysis of Inventory
High level of difficulty
Accounting Policy on Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Recoverability of inventories is assessed based on review of future customer demand that considers multiple factors, including committed purchase orders from customers as well as purchase commitment projections provided by customers and Qualcomm’s own forecast of customer demand, among other things.
