- Click the Chart sheet tab. On the screen is a column chart showing ending inventory costs. During a deflationary period, which bar (A, B, or C) represents FIFO costing, which represents LIFO costing, and which represents weighted average? Explain your reasoning. On January 4 following year-end, Rio Enterprises received a shipment of 60 units of product costing 580 each. These units had been ordered by Del in December and had been shipped to him on December 27. They were shipped FOB shipping point. Revise the FIFOLIFO3 worksheet to include this shipment. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as FIFOLIFOT. Using the FIFOLIFO3 file, prepare a 3-D bar (stacked) chart showing the cost of goods sold and ending inventory under each of the four inventory cost flow assumptions. No Chart Data Table is needed. Use the values in the Calculations Section of the worksheet for your chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as FIFOLIFO3.

- Inventory effects under absorption costing BendOR, Inc., manufactures control panels for the electronics industry and has just completed its first year of operations. The following discussion took place between the controller, Gordon Merrick, and the company president, Matt McCray: Matt: Ive been looking over our first years performance by quarters. Our earnings have been increasing each quarter, even though our sales have been flat and our prices and costs have not changed. Why is this? Gordon: Our actual sales have stayed even throughout the year, but weve been increasing the utilization of our factory every quarter. By keeping our factory utilization high, we will keep our costs down by allocating the fixed plant costs over a greater number of units. Naturally, this causes our cost per unit to be lower than it would be otherwise. Matt: Yes, but what good is this if we are unable to sell everything that we make? Our inventory is also increasing. Gordon: This is true. However, our unit costs are lower because of the additional production. When these lower costs are matched against sales, it has a positive impact on our earnings. Matt: Are you saying that we are able to create additional earnings merely by building inventory? Can this be true? Gordon: Well, Ive never thought about it quite that way. . . but I guess so. Matt: And another thing. What will happen if we begin to reduce our production in order to liquidate the inventory? Dont tell me our earnings will go down even though our production effort drops! Gordon: Well. . . Matt: There must be a better way. Id like our quarterly income statements to reflect whats really going on. I dont want our income reports to reward building inventory and penalize reducing inventory. Gordon: Im not sure what I can dowe have to follow generally accepted accounting principles. In teams: a. Discuss why reporting income under generally accepted accounting principles rewards building inventory and penalizes reducing inventory. b. Discuss what advice you would give to Gordon in responding to Matts concern about the present method of accounting. Be prepared to discuss your answers in class.arrow_forwardTotal Pops data show the following information: New machinery will be added in April. This machine will reduce the labor required per unit and increase the labor rate for those employees qualified to operate the machinery.
