Communication Case 8-8
I would explain to the intern that many businesses prefer to utilize LIFO to lower income
taxes during times of rising prices. In this situation, however, FIFO minimizes taxes in periods of
declining prices since the older inventory items would be more expensive than the most recently
purchased items (Silver et al., 2022). Therefore, this will show a comparatively lower amount of
net income by maximizing the cost of goods sold and lesser income taxes to be paid as a result.
FIFO and LIFO may fluctuate in calculating the firm's net income by calculating COGS
differently, although minimizing net income by utilizing FIFO or LIFO procedures is dependent
on the price trends of the goods. The inventory method chosen can significantly impact the
amount of income reported by the firm to third parties and the amount of income taxes paid to
the Internal Revenue Service and state and local taxing authorities if the unit cost of inventory
changes over the course of a period (Spiceland et al., 2023, p. 160). We must comprehend how
the price trends of goods, as well as the accounting method implemented, impact the amount of
income reported and taxes that must be paid.
We know that minimizing income tax liability is directly related to minimizing net
income as shown by the income statement, and minimizing net income using FIFO or LIFO
procedures is dependent on the price trends of the items. If the price of a certain product rises,
FIFO will generate a comparably larger amount of net income by minimizing the cost of goods
supplied. The FIFO approach computes the cost of goods sold by using the oldest unit cost and
quantity available for sale first, which decreases the cost of goods sold. If, in contrast, the price
level for a certain product rises, LIFO will provide a lower net income by maximizing the cost of
goods sold. The cost of goods sold is increased by the LIFO approach, which computes the cost
of goods sold using the most recent unit cost and quantity available for sale first.

Required information
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
The following narrative describes the purchase and payment process for The Tablet Store. Use the narrative to answer the
questions below. The Tablet Store recently opened to sell iPads and other tablet computing devices. It purchases its
tablets directly from the manufacturers (e.g., Apple, Samsung, and Dell). To order tablets, a Tablet Store employee submits
a purchase order to the manufacturer electronically. Each purchase order could stipulate several different models of
tablets from one manufacturer. The manufacturers typically deliver the tablets to the store within two weeks after they
receive the purchase order. The Tablet Store pays for each shipment within 30 days after receipt. If there are multiple
orders to the same manufacturer, the Tablet Store occasionally combines payments, issuing one check for multiple
receipts. All of the Tablet Store checks are drawn on one bank account.
