Chapter 9: Question 4BE (page 475)

Presented below is information related to Rembrandt Inc.鈥檚 inventory, assuming Rembrandt uses lower-of-LIFO cost-or-market. (per unit) Skis Boots Parkas Historical cost \(190.00 \)106.00 $53.00 Selling price 212.00 145.00 73.75 Cost to distribute 19.00 8.00 2.50 Current replacement cost 203.00 105.00 51.00 Normal profit margin 32.00 29.00 21.25 Determine the following: (a) the two limits to market value (i.e., the ceiling and the floor) that should be used in the lower-of cost-or-market computation for skis, (b) the cost amount that should be used in the lower-of-cost-or-market comparison of boots, and (c) the market amount that should be used to value parkas on the basis of the lower-of-cost-or-market.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The ceiling equals $193, and the floor equals $161.

(b) The cost equals $106.

(c) The market amount equals $51.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of ceiling and floor

(a) Calculation of the ceiling (Net realizable value) is calculated as follows:

Ceiling(NetRealizableValue)=SellingPrice-CosttoDistribute=$212-$19=$193

Calculation of the floor (Net realizable value less normal profit margin) is calculated as follows:

Floor=Ceiling-NormalProfitMargin=$193-$32=$161

02

Calculation of cost

(b) The cost for the boots equals the historical cost of $106, which will be used in the lower-of-cost-or-market approach.

03

Calculation of market value

(c) Calculation of the ceiling (Net realizable value) is calculated as follows:

Ceilling(NetRealizablevalue)=SellingPrice-CosttoDistribute=$73.75-$2.50=$71.25

Calculation of the floor (Net realizable value less normal profit margin) is calculated as follows:

Floor=Ceilling-NormalProfitMargin=$71.25-$21.25=$50

The designated market value is the middle value of the current replacement cost, net realizable value less normal profit margin (floor), and net realizable value (ceiling). The middle value is $51, which will be considered a designated market value in the lower-of-cost-or-market approach.

Garcia Home Improvement Company installs replacement siding, windows, and louvered glass doors for single-family homes and condominium complexes. The company is in the process of preparing its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017. Jim Alcide, controller for Garcia, has gathered the following data concerning inventory. At May 31, 2017, the balance in Garcia鈥檚 Raw Materials Inventory account was \(408,000, and Allowance to Reduce Inventory to NRV had a credit balance of \)27,500. Alcide summarized the relevant inventory cost and market data at May 31, 2017, in the schedule below. Alcide assigned Patricia Devereaux, an intern from a local college, the task of calculating the amount that should appear on Garcia鈥檚 May 31, 2017, financial statements for inventory under the LCNRV rule as applied to each item in inventory. Devereaux expressed concern over departing from the historical cost principle.

(b) For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, determine the amount of the gain or loss that would be recorded (using the loss method) due to the change in Allowance to Reduce Inventory to NRV. (c) Explain the rationale for the use of the LCNRV rule as it applies to inventories

(LCNRV鈥擡rror Effect) LaGreca Company uses the LCNRV method, on an individual-item basis, in pricing its inventory items. The inventory at December 31, 2017, included product X. Relevant per-unit data for product X are as follows. Estimated selling price \(50 Cost 40 Estimated selling costs 14 Normal profi t 9 There were 1,000 units of product X on hand at December 31, 2017. Product X was incorrectly valued at \)38 per unit for reporting purposes. All 1,000 units were sold in 2018. Instructions Compute the effect of this error on net income for 2017 and the effect on net income for 2018, and indicate the direction of the misstatement for each year.
