The company uses the periodic inventory method.

Instructions

(a) Determine ending inventory under (1) specific identification, (2) FIFO, (3) LIFO, and (4) average cost.

Specific Identification $4,250

FIFO $4,400

LIFO $3,200

Average $3,795

Dollar value LIFO $3,500

Step by step solution

01

Determination of ending inventory

(1) Ending inventory by specific identification

·¡²Ô»å¾±²Ô²µ¾±²Ô±¹±ð²Ô³Ù´Ç°ù²â²¹³Ù20´³³Ü±ô²â2017=±·´Ç.´Ç´Ú³Ü²Ô¾±³Ù²õ×°ä´Ç²õ³Ù±è°ù¾±³¦±ð´Ç²Ô20´³³Ü±ô²â=50×$25=$1,250

·¡²Ô»å¾±²Ô²µ¾±²Ô±¹±ð²Ô³Ù´Ç°ù²â²¹³Ù¶Ù±ð³¦2=±·´Ç.´Ç´Ú³Ü²Ô¾±³Ù²õ×°ä´Ç²õ³Ù±è°ù¾±³¦±ð´Ç²Ô¶Ù±ð³¦2=100×$30=$3,000

Totalvalueunderspecificidentification=InventoryvalueonJuly20+InventoryvalueonDec2=$1,250+$3,000=$4,250

(2) Ending inventory at FIFO

localid="1649488587643" EndinginventoryunderFIFO=(100units×Dec2cost)+(50units×July20cost)=(100×$30)+(50×$28)=$4,400

(3) Ending inventory at LIFO

EndinginventoryunderLIFO=(100units×Jan1cost)+(50units×March15cost)=(100×$20)+(50×$24)=$3,200

(4) Ending inventory at Average cost

localid="1649489524402" Averagecost=(100units×Jan1cost)+(300units×March15cost)+(300units×July20cost)+(200units×Sept24cost)+(100units×Dec2cost)TotalNo.ofunits=(100×$20)+(300×$24)+(300×$25)+(200×$28)+(100×$30)100+300+300+200+100=$25.3·¡²Ô»å¾±²Ô²µ¾±²Ô±¹±ð²Ô³Ù´Ç°ù²â³Ü²Ô»å±ð°ù´¡±¹±ð°ù²¹²µ±ð³¦´Ç²õ³Ù=150³Ü²Ô¾±³Ù²õ×´¡±¹±ð°ù²¹²µ±ð³¦´Ç²õ³Ù=150×$25.3=$3,795

02

Ending inventory at dollar value LIFO

EndingInventoryatcurrentyearcost=150units×Currentyearcostprice=150×$30=$4,500EndingInventoryatbaseyearcost=150units×Baseyearcostprice=150×$20=$3,000

PriceIndex=EndingInventoryatCurrentcostEndingInventoryatBasecost=$4,500$3,000=1.5Layer=Endinginventoryatbasecost-Openinginventoryatbasecost=$3,000-$2,000=$1,000DollarvalueLIFOInventory=Openinginventoryatbasecost+layeratpriceindex=$2,000+($1,000×1.5)=$2,000+$1,500=$3,500

So the ending inventory at dollar value LIFO is $3,500.

In studying the records of Strider Enterprises, which sells normal brand-namegoods from its own store and on consignment through Chavez Inc., he asks you to answer the following questions.

Instructions

(a) Should Strider Enterprises include in its inventory normal brand-name goods purchased from its suppliers but not yetreceived if the terms of purchase are f.o.b. shipping point (manufacturer’s plant)? Why?

(b) Should Strider Enterprises include freight-in expenditures as an inventory cost? Why?

(c) If Strider Enterprises purchases its goods on terms 2/10, net 30, should the purchases be recorded gross or net? Why?

(d) What are products on consignment? How should they be reported in the financial statements?

Fong Sai-Yuk Company sells one product. Presented below is information for January for Fong Sai-Yuk Company.

Jan. 1 Inventory 100 units at \(5 each

4 Sale 80 units at \)8 each

11 Purchase 150 units at \(6 each

13 Sale 120 units at \)8.75 each

20 Purchase 160 units at \(7 each

27 Sale 100 units at \)9 each

Fong Sai-Yuk uses the FIFO cost flow assumption. All purchases and sales are on account.

Instructions

(a) Assume Fong Sai-Yuk uses a periodic system. Prepare all necessary journal entries, including the end-of-month closingentry to record cost of goods sold. A physical count indicates that the ending inventory for January is 110 units.

(b) Compute gross profit using the periodic system.

(c) Assume Fong Sai-Yuk uses a perpetual system. Prepare all necessary journal entries.

(d) Compute gross profit using the perpetual system.

Question: In January 2017, Susquehanna Inc. requested and secured permission from the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service to compute inventories under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and elected to determine inventory cost under the dollar-value LIFO method. Susquehanna Inc. satisfied the commissioner that cost could be accurately determined by use of an index number computed from a representative sample selected from the company’s single inventory pool.

Instructions

(a) Why should inventories be included in (1) a balance sheet and (2) the computation of net income?

(b) The Internal Revenue Code allows some accountable events to be considered differently for income tax reporting purposes and financial accounting purposes, while other accountable events must be reported the same for both purposes. Discuss why it might be desirable to report some accountable events differently for financial accounting purposes than for income tax reporting purposes.

(c) Discuss the ways and conditions under which the FIFO and LIFO inventory costing methods produce different inventory valuations. Do not discuss procedures for computing inventory cost.

Question:Matlock Company uses a perpetual inventory system. Its beginning inventory consists of 50 units that cost \(34 each. During June, the company purchased 150 units at \)34 each, returned 6 units for credit, and sold 125 units at $50 each.

Journalize the June transactions.

Midori Company had ending inventory at end-of-year prices of \(100,000 at December 31, 2016; \)119,900 at December 31, 2017; and $134,560 at December 31, 2018. The year-end price indexes were 100 at 12/31/16, 110 at 12/31/17,and 116 at 12/31/18. Compute the ending inventory for Midori Company for 2016 through 2018 using the dollar-valueLIFO method.
