Absorption costing is a process that the company uses to allocate all types of costs on all products, and then calculates the final price of the products.
Variable costing considers only the variable costs and it is not used for external purpose. However, the company uses this method for their own internal management.
To compare: Income under variable costing and absorption costing for Company A.

Just-in-time Inventory System: It means increasing the efficiency of the inventory system by aligning the raw material required from suppliers directly to the material required in the production. This reduces the inventory costs.
To compare: Income under absorption and variable costing if ‘Just-in-time’ (JIT) inventory system is used.

- The table below lists financial statement items that may be affected by the use of either the FIFO or LIFO inventory costing methods. Required: Conceptual Connection: Assuming that prices are rising, identify whether the specified item is (a) higher or (b) lower under FIFO and LIFO. FIFO LIFO Ending inventory Cost of goods sold Gross margin Income before taxes Payments for income taxes Net incomearrow_forward1. The Sta. Lucia Company organized in 2017, used the average costing method for its inventory. It is considering to change its inventory costing policy and to adopt the FIFO basis. Profit under the average costing method and Inventory costs, based on both average and FIFO method are shown below: Profit 2017 - 3,600,00 2018 - 5,000,000 2019 - 7,000,000 Inventory, end: Average basis 1,200,000 - 2017 1,300,000 - 2018 2,000,000 - 2019 FIFO basis 1,240,000 - 2017 1,420,000 - 218 2,650,000- 2019 REQUIRED: Determine the profit of Sta. Lucia Company for each of the three years had the company used the FIFO costing method. with explanation plsarrow_forwardIf the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $56,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.)

- During periods of increasing costs, the use of the FIF0 method of costing inventory will result in a greater amount of net income than would result from the use of the LIFO cost method. True Falsearrow_forwardSamsung Electronics reports the following regarding its accounting for inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method, except for materials-in-transit. Inventories are reduced for the estimated losses arising from excess, obsolescence, and decline in value. This reduction is determined by estimating market value based on future customer demand. The losses on inventory obsolescence are recorded as a part of cost of sales. 1. What cost flow assumption(s) does Samsung apply in assigning costs to its inventories? 2. If at the current year-end there was an increase in the value of its inventories such that there was a reversal of W550 (W is Korean won) million for the write-down recorded in the prior year, how would Samsung account for this under IFRS? Would Samsung’s accounting be different for this reversal if it reported under U.S. GAAP?

(Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.) Ceiling $ 3.35 68.34 38.86 28.48 (b) The cost amount that should be used in the lower-of-cost-or-market comparison of boots. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.) (c) The market amount that should be used to value parkas on the basis of the lower-of-cost-or-market.

- If the company had used the FIFO inventory costing method, cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been $ 10,200.00. Management wants a report that shows how changing from FIFO to another method would change net income. Prepare a table showing (1) the amount by which cost of goods sold under LIFO and AVCO is different from the FIFO cost of goods sold and ( 2) the effect on net income when LIFO and AVCO are used instead of FIFO. When costs are rising, what is the effect of the FIFO inventory valuation approach on cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income? Why?arrow_forwardRoss Electronics has one product in its ending inventory. Per unit data consist of the following: cost, $20; selling price, $30; selling costs, $4.
