A large manufacturer of truck and car tires recently changed its cost-flow assumption method for inventories at the beginning of 2014. The manufacturer has been in operation for almost 40 years, and for the last decade it has reported moderate growth in revenues. The firm changed from the LIFO method to the FIFO method and reported the following information (amounts in millions): REQUIRED Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for 2014 using the LIFO and FIFO cost-flow assumption methods. Explain why the costs assigned to inventory under LIFO at the end of 2013 and 2014 are so much less than they are under FIFO.
LIFO and Inventory Pools On January 1, 2016, Grover Company changed its inventory cost flow method to the LIFO cost method from the FIFO cost method for its raw materials inventory. It made the change for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. Grover uses the multiple-pools approach under which it groups substantially identical raw materials into LIFO inventory pools. It uses weighted average costs in valuing annual incremental layers. The composition of the December 31, 2018, inventory for the Class F inventory pool is as follows: Inventory transactions for the Class F inventory pool during 2019 were as follows: On March 2, 2019, 4,800 units were purchased at a unit cost of 13.50 for 64,800. On September 1, 2019, 7,200 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.00 for 100,800. A total of 15,000 units were used for production during 2019. The following transactions for the Class F inventory pool took place during 2020: On January 11, 2020, 7,500 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.50 for 108,750. On May 14, 2020, 5,500 units were purchased at a unit cost of 15.50 for 85,250. On December 29, 2020, 7,000 units were purchased at a unit cost of 16.00 for 112,000. A total of 16,000 units were used for production during 2020. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule to compute the inventory (units and dollar amounts) of the Class F inventory pool at December 31, 2019. Show supporting computations in good form. 2. Prepare a schedule to compute the cost of Class F raw materials used in production for the year ended December 31, 2019. 3. Prepare a schedule to compute the inventory (units and dollar amounts) of the Class F inventory pool at December 31, 2020. Show supporting computations in good form.
Dollar-Value LIFO Kwestel Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method for inventory valuation at the beginning of 2015.

Round to the nearest dollar.
Shaquille Corporation began the current year with inventory of 50,000. During the year, its purchases totaled 110,000. Shaquille paid freight charges of 8,500 for those purchases.

Refer to the information provided in RE8-4. If Paul Corporations inventory at January 1, 2019, had a cost and net realizable value of 300,000, prepare the journal entry to record the reductions to NRV for Paul Corporation assuming that Paul uses a periodic inventory system and the direct method. Paul Corporation uses FIFO and reports the following inventory information: Assuming Paul uses a perpetual inventory system and the direct method, prepare the journal entry to record the write-down of inventory.
Habicht Company was formed in 2018 to produce a single product. The production and sales for the next 4 years were as follows: Required: 1. Determine the gross profit for each year under each of the following periodic inventory methods: a. FIFO b. LIFO c. Average cost (Round unit costs to 3 decimal places.) 2. Next Level Explain whether the companys return on assets (net income divided by average total assets) would be higher under FIFO or LIFO.
Assume your company uses the periodic inventory costing method, and the inventory count left out an entire warehouse of goods that were in stock at the end of the year, with a cost value of $222,000. How will this affect your net income in the current year? How will it affect next years net income?
If Barcelona Companys ending inventory was actually $122,000, but the cost of consigned goods, with a cost value of $20,000 were accidentally included with the company assets, when making the year-end inventory adjustment, what would be the impact on the presentation of the balance sheet and income statement for the year that the error occurred, if any?
Olson Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method for inventory valuation at the beginning of 2015. The following information about the inventory at the end of each year is available from Olsons records: Required: 1. Calculate the dollar-value LIFO inventory at the end of each year. 2.

Refer to the information provided in RE8-4. If Paul Corporations inventory at January 1, 2019, had a cost and net realizable value of 300,000, prepare the journal entry to record the reductions to NRV for Paul Corporation assuming that Paul uses a periodic inventory system and the allowance method.

Dani Corporation signed a binding commitment on December 2 to purchase inventory for 300,000 cash on January 2. By December 31, the market price (replacement cost) of the inventory had declined to 280,000. Prepare Danis journal entries at year-end and at the date of purchase.
Renfro, Inc. was franchised on January 1, 2016. At the end of its third year of operations, December 31, 2018, management requested a study to determine what effect different materials inventory costing methods would have had on its reported net income over the three-year period. The materials inventory account, using LIFO, FIFO, and weighted average, would have had the following ending balances: a. Assuming the same number of units in ending inventory at the end of each year, were material costs rising or falling from 2016 to 2018? b. Which costing method would show the highest net income for 2017? c. Which method would show the lowest net income for 2018? d. Which method would show the highest net income for the three years combined?
