Lower of Cost or Market Moore Company uses the LIFO inventory method and carries Product A in inventory on December 31, 2016, at its unit cost of $9.50. Because of a sharp decline in demand for the product, the selling price was reduced to $10.00 per unit. Moore's normal profit margin on Product A is $2.00, disposal costs are $1.00 per unit and the replacement cost is $6.50. Under the lower of cost or market rule, Moore's December 31, 2016, inventory of Product A should be valued at a unit cost of: Oa. $9.00 Ob. $6.50 Oc. $9.50 Od. $7.00

Black Corporation uses the LIFO cost flow assumption. Each unit of its inventory has a net realizable value of 300, a normal profit margin of 35, and a current replacement cost of 250. Determine the amount per unit that should be used as the market value to apply the lower of cost or market rule to determine Blacks ending inventory.
Lower of Cost or Market Garcia Company uses FIFO, and its inventory at the end of the year was recorded in the accounting records at $17,800. Due to technological changes in the market, Garcia would be able to replace its inventory for $16,500. Required: 1. Using the lower of cost or market method, what amount should Garcia report for inventory on its balance sheet at the end of the year? 2. Prepare the journal entry required to value the inventory at the lower of cost or market.
Company Elmira reported the following cost of goods sold but later realized that an error had been made in ending inventory for year 2021. The correct inventory amount for 2021 was 32,000. Once the error is corrected, (a) how much is the restated cost of goods sold for 2021? and (b) how much is the restated cost of goods sold for 2022?
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.
Bhushan Company has been using LIFO for inventory purposes because it would prefer to keep gross profits low for tax purposes. In its second year of operation (20-2), the controller pointed out that this strategy did not appear to work and suggested that FIFO cost of goods sold would have been higher than LIFO cost of goods sold for 20-2. Is this possible? REQUIRED Using the information provided, compute the cost of goods sold for 20-1 and 20-2 comparing the LIFO and FIFO methods.
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.
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?
Denali Company manufactures household products such as windows, light fixtures, ladders, and work tables. During the year it produced 10,000 Model 10X windows but only sold 5,000 units at $40 each. The remaining units cannot be sold through normal channels. Cost for inventory purposes on December 31 included the following data on the unsold units: Denali can sell the 5,000 windows at a liquidation price of $20.00 per window, but it will incur a packaging and shipping charge of $7.50 per window. Required: Identify the relevant costs and revenues for the liquidation sale alternative. Is Denali better off accepting the liquidation price rather than doing nothing? Assume that Model 10X can be reprocessed to another size window, Model 20X, which will require the same amount of labor and overhead as was required to initially produce, but sells for only $33. Determine the most profitable course of action—liquidate or reprocess.
Inventory Write-Down Stiles Corporation uses the FIFO cost flow assumption and is in the process of applying the LCNRV rule for each of two products in its ending inventory. A profit margin of 30% on the selling price is considered normal for each product. Specific data for each product are as follows: Inventory Write-Down Use the information in E8-1. Assume that Stiles uses the LIFO cost flow assumption and is applying the LCM rule. Required: 1. What is the correct inventory value for each product? 2. Next Level With regard to requirement 1, what effect does the imposition of the constraints on market value have on the inventory valuations?

Compute the LIFO cost of the ending inventory assuming Webster uses three inventory pools. Round cost indexes to 4 decimal places.
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?
