In 2020, each unit had been sold for 19, and each unit purchased had cost 10. The income tax rate is 21%. Required: 1. Next Level If Hammond makes no additional purchases in 2020, how much LIFO liquidation profit will it report? 2. Prepare the appropriate annual report disclosures for 2020. 3. Next Level if Hammond purchases an additional 7,000 units in December 2020, how much income tax will the company save? 4.

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.

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.
