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?
You obtain the following information regarding fixed production costs from a manufacturing firm for fiscal year 2021:Fixed costs in the beginning inventory - P16,000Fixed costs incurred this period - P100,000Which of the following statements is not true: Using variable costing, this firm will deduct no more than P16,000 for fixed production costs. The maximum difference between this firm’s 2021 income based on absorption costing and its income based on variable costing is P16,000. The maximum amount of fixed production costs that this firm could deduct using absorption costs in 2021 is P116,000.

ABC Corporation manufactures a product that gives rise to a by-product called Z. The only costs associated with Z are selling costs of P1 for each unit sold. ABC accounts for Z sales first b deducting its separable costs from such sales and then by deducting this net amount from cost of sales of the major product. This year, 1,000 units of Z were sold at P4 each. If ABC changes its method of accounting for Z sales by showing the net amount as additional sales revenue, ABC's gross margin would*a. decrease by P3,000b. increase by P4,000c. increase by P3,000d. be unaffected
