E8.18 (LO 4) (LIFO Effect) The following example was provided to encourage the use of the LIFO method. In a nutshell, LIFO subtracts inflation from inventory costs, deducts it from taxable income, and records it in a LIFO reserve account on the books. The LIFO benefit grows as inflation widens the gap between current-year and past-year (minus inflation) inventory costs. This gap is: With LIFO Revenues $3,200,000 Without LIFO $3,200,000 2,800,000 150,000 250,000 0 $ 250,000 $ 90,000 $ 160,000 0 0% Cost of goods sold Operating expenses Operating income LIFO adjustment Taxable income Income taxes (36%) Cash flowExtra cash Increased cash flow 2,800,000 150,000 250,000 40,000 $ 210,000 $ 75,600 $ 174,400 $ 14,400 9% Instructions a.
