Chapter 8: Q7BE (page 422)

Trout Company uses the LIFO method for financial reporting purposes but FIFO for internal reporting purposes. At January 1, 2017, the LIFO reserve has a credit balance of \(1,300,000. At December 31, 2017, Trout鈥檚 internal reports indicatedthat the FIFO inventory balance was \)2,900,000 and for external reporting purposes the LIFO inventory balance was $1,500,000.What is the amount of the LIFO reserve and the LIFO effect related to 2017? What is the journal entry needed to record the LIFOeffect at December 31, 2017?

Short Answer

Expert verified

LIFO reserve is $1,400,000. LIFO effect for 2017 amounts to $100,000.

Step by step solution

01

Computation of ending LIFO reverse

LIFOReverse(Dec31,2017)=Endinginventory(FIFO)-Endinginventory(LIFO)=$2,900,000-$1,500,000=$1,400,000

02

Computation of LIFO effect

LIFOEffect(Dec2017)=LIFOEffectattheend-LIFOEffectinthebeginning=$1,400,000-$1,300,000=$100,000

Accounting, Analysis, and Principles

Englehart Company sells two types of pumps. One is large and is for commercial use. The other is smaller and is used in residentialswimming pools. The following inventory data is available for the month of March.

Inventory at Feb. 28: 200 \( 400 \) 80,000

Inventory at March 31: 500

Accounting

(a) Assuming Englehart uses a periodic inventory system, determine the cost of inventory on hand at March 31 and thecost of goods sold for March under first-in, first-out (FIFO).

(b) Assume Englehart uses dollar-value LIFO and one pool, consisting of the combination of residential and commercialpumps. Determine the cost of inventory on hand at March 31 and the cost of goods sold for March. Assume Englehart鈥檚initial adoption of LIFO is on March 1. Use the double-extension method to determine the appropriate price indices.

(Hint:The price index for February 28/March 1 should be 1.00.) (Round the index to three decimal places.)

Analysis

(a) Assume you need to compute a current ratio for Englehart. Which inventory method (FIFO or dollar-value LIFO) doyou think would give you a more meaningful current ratio?

(b) Some of Englehart鈥檚 competitors use LIFO inventory costing and some use FIFO. How can an analyst compare theresults of companies in an industry, when some use LIFO and others use FIFO?

Principles

Can companies change from one inventory accounting method to another? If a company changes to an inventory accounting methodused by most of its competitors, what are the trade-offs in terms of the conceptual framework discussed in Chapter 2 of the textbook?

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鈥檚 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.

Ehlo Company is a multiproduct firm. Presented below is information concerning one of its products, the Hawkeye.

Date Transaction Quantity Price/Cost

1/1 Beginning inventory 1,000 $12

2/4 Purchase 2,000 18

2/20 Sale 2,500 30

4/2 Purchase 3,000 23

11/4 Sale 2,200 33

Instructions

Compute cost of goods sold, assuming Ehlo uses:

(a) Periodic system, FIFO cost flow. (d) Perpetual system, LIFO cost flow.

(b) Perpetual system, FIFO cost flow. (e) Periodic system, weighted-average

cost flow.

(c) Periodic system, LIFO cost flow. (f) Perpetual system, moving-average

cost flow.

Case 3: The Kroger Company

The Kroger Company reported the following data in its annual report (in millions).

January 31, February 1, February 2,

2015 2014 2013

Net sales \(108,465 \)98,375 $96,619

Cost of sales (using LIFO) 85,512 78,138 76,726

Year-end inventories using FIFO 6,933 6,801 6,244

Year-end inventories using LIFO 5,688 5,651 5,146

Instructions

(a) Compute Kroger鈥檚 inventory turnovers for fiscal years ending January 31, 2015, and February 1, 2014, using:

(1) Cost of sales and LIFO inventory.

(2) Cost of sales and FIFO inventory.

(b) Some firms calculate inventory turnover using sales rather than cost of goods sold in the numerator. Calculate Kroger鈥檚 fiscal years ending January 31, 2015, and February 1, 2014, turnover, using:

(1) Sales and LIFO inventory.

(2) Sales and FIFO inventory.

(c) State which method you would choose to evaluate Kroger鈥檚 performance. Justify your choice.

Question:In your audit of Jose Oliva Company, you find that a physical inventory on December 31, 2017, showed merchandise with a cost of \(441,000 was on hand at that date. You also discover the followingitems were all excluded from the \)441,000.

3. Merchandise costing \(46,000 which was shipped by Oliva f.o.b. shipping point to a customer on December 29, 2017. Thecustomer was scheduled to receive the merchandise on January 2, 2018.

4. Merchandise costing \)83,000 shipped by a vendor f.o.b. destination on December 30, 2017, and received by Oliva on January4, 2018.

5. Merchandise costing $51,000 shipped by a vendor f.o.b. shipping point on December 31, 2017, and received by Oliva onJanuary 5, 2018.

Instructions

Based on the above information, calculate the amount that should appear on Oliva鈥檚 balance sheet at December 31, 2017, for inventory.
