Chapter 8 Perform (ASAC LO 5 and BSAC LO 2)
Kingbird Company began operations late in 2024 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method.
Because there was no beginning inventory for 2024 and no markdowns during 2024, the ending inventory
for 2024 was $13,708 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of
2025, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods.
There was no change in the price level during 2025. The following data are available for computations.

Robin Rotelle Corp. began operations late in 2020 and adopted the conventional
retail method. Because there was no beginning inventory for 2020 and no markdowns during
2020, the ending inventory as of Dec. 31, 2020 was $525,000 using either the conventional retail
or LIFO retail methods. At the end of 2021 Robin wants to compare the results of applying
the conventional and LIFO retail methods.

- Review Exercises 7-41 M7-8 Assuming no beginning inventory, what can be said about the trend of inventory prices if cost of goods sold computed when inventory is valucd using the FIFO method exceeds cost of goods sold when inventory is valued using the LIFO method? Under the dollar-value LIFO inventory method, Kern's inventory method, Kern's inventory on December 31, 2016, would be: LO 7.5 a. $650,000 b. $655,000 c. $660,000 d. $720,000 a. Prices decreased. When the double-extension approach to the dollar-value LIFO inventory cost flow method is used, the inventory layer added in the current year is multiplied by an index number.

- 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.
