Totals 365 $5,234

A physical inventory on December 31, 2017, reveals that 100 footballs were in stock. The bookkeeper informs you that all thediscounts were taken. Assume that Johnny Football Shop uses the invoice price less discount for recording purchases.

Instructions

(a) Compute the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method.

(b) Compute the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.

(c) What method would you recommend to the owner to minimize income taxes in 2017, using the inventory informationfor footballs as a guide?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of ending inventory under FIFO and LIFO are $1,112.76 and $1,792, respectively. The LIFO method would fetch less net income and consequently fewer taxes.

03

Inventory valuation method to minimize taxes

Under the FIFO method, the cost of goods sold is valued at the historic cost. Whereas in the LIFO method, the COGS is valued at the current prices. So the COGs would be highest under the LIFO method, and the net profit would be lower.

Thus, the owner should use the LIFO method to minimize the taxes.

The management of Tritt Company has asked its accounting department to describe the effect upon the company鈥檚 financial position and its income statements of accounting for inventorieson the LIFO rather than the FIFO basis during 2017 and 2018. The accounting department is to assume that the change to LIFO wouldhave been effective on January 1, 2017, and that the initial LIFO base would have been the inventory value on December 31, 2016. Thefollowing are the company鈥檚 financial statements and other data for the years 2017 and 2018 when the FIFO method was employed.

Case 1: T J International

T J International was founded in 1969 as Trus Joist International. The firm, a manufacturer of specialty building products, has its headquarters in Boise, Idaho. The company, through its partnership in the Trus Joist MacMillan joint venture, develops and manufactures engineered lumber. This product is a high-quality substitute for structural lumber and uses lower-grade wood and materials formerly considered waste. The company also is majority owner of the Outlook Window Partnership, which is a consortium of three wood and vinyl window manufacturers.

Following is T J International鈥檚 adapted income statement and information concerning inventories from its annual report.

\(56,612,000 \)53,081,000

The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used for determining the cost of lumber, veneer, Microllamlumber, TJI joists, and open web joists. Approximately 35 percent of total inventories at the end of the current year were valued using the LIFO method. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used to determine the cost of all other inventories.

Instructions

(a) How much would income before taxes have been if FIFO costing had been used to value all inventories?

(b) If the income tax rate is 46.6%, what would income tax have been if FIFO costing had been used to value all inventories ? In your opinion, is this difference in net income between the two methods material? Explain.

(c) Does the use of a different costing system for different types of inventory mean that there is a different physical flow of goods among the different types of inventory? Explain.
