Cost Retail Inventory on January 1, 2017 \(216,000 \)300,000 Purchases 364,800 480,000 Increase in price level for year 9% Instructions Compute the cost of the inventory on December 31, 2017, assuming that the inventory at retail is (a) \(294,300 and (b) \)365,150.
As of January 1, 2017, Aristotle Inc. adopted the retail method of accounting for its merchandise inventory.

(b) Without prejudice to your solution to part (a), assume that you computed the June 30, 2017, inventory to be $59,400 at retail and the ratio of cost to retail to be 70%. The general price level has increased from 100 at January 1, 2017, to 108 at June 30, 2017. Prepare a schedule to compute the June 30, 2017, inventory at the June 30 price level under the dollarvalue LIFO retail method. (AICPA adapted)

Davenport Department Store converted from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method on January 1, 2017, and is now considering converting to the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. During your examination of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, management requested that you furnish a summary showing certain computations of inventory cost for the past 3 years. Here is the available information. 1. The inventory at January 1, 2016, had a retail value of \(56,000 and cost of \)29,800 based on the conventional retail method. 2. Transactions during 2016 were as follows. Cost Retail Purchases \(311,000 \)554,000 Purchase returns 5,200 10,000 Purchase discounts 6,000 Gross sales revenue (after employee discounts) 551,000 Sales returns 9,000 Employee discounts 3,000 Freight-in 17,600 Net markups 20,000 Net markdowns 12,000 3. The retail value of the December 31, 2017, inventory was \(75,600, the cost ratio for 2017 under the LIFO retail method was 61%, and the regional price index was 105% of the January 1, 2017, price level. 4. The retail value of the December 31, 2018, inventory was \)62,640, the cost ratio for 2018 under the LIFO retail method was 60%, and the regional price index was 108% of the January 1, 2017, price level.

(b) Prepare a schedule showing the recomputation of the inventory to be reported on December 31, 2016, in accordance with procedures necessary to convert from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method beginning January 1, 2017. Assume that the retail value of the December 31, 2016, inventory was \(60,000. (c) Without prejudice to your solution to part (b), assume that you computed the December 31, 2016, inventory (retail value \)60,000) under the LIFO retail method at a cost of $33,300. Prepare a schedule showing the computations of the cost of the store鈥檚 2017 and 2018 year-end inventories under the dollar-value LIFO method.
