Some companies report this as a reduction of inventory. The account is not reported in annual balance sheet because the LIFO inventory at the year-end is based on the actual units remaining in inventory at the year end.

- 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.

Show supporting computations in good form.arrow_forwardInventory Valuation You are engaged in an audit of Roche Mfg. Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. To reduce the workload at year-end, Roche took its annual physical inventory under your observation on November 30, 2019. Roches inventory account, which includes raw materials and work in process, is on a perpetual basis, and it uses the first-in, first-out method of pricing. It has no finished goods inventory. The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of 60,570 was understated by 3,000. To avoid distorting the interim financial statements, Roche decided not to adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items. Your audit revealed this information about the November 30 inventory: Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overpriced by 2,200. Footing and extension errors resulted in a 150 understatement of the physical inventory. Direct labor included in the physical inventory amounted to 10,000. Overhead was included at the rate of 200% of direct labor. You determined that the amount of direct labor was correct and the overhead rate was proper. The physical inventory included obsolete materials recorded at 250. During December, these materials were removed from the inventory account by a charge to cost of sales. Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31, 2019, inventory. Total debits to certain accounts during December are: The cost of sales of 68,600 included direct labor of 13,800. Normal scrap loss on established product lines is negligible. However, a special order started and completed during December had excessive scrap loss of 800 which was charged to Manufacturing Overhead Expense. Required: 1. Compute the correct amount of the physical inventory at November 30, 2019. 2. Without prejudice to your solution to Requirement 1, assume that the correct amount of the inventory at November 30, 2019, was 57,700. Compute the amount of the inventory at December 31,2019.arrow_forwardDollar-Value LIFO Kwestel Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method for inventory valuation at the beginning of 2015.
