Chapter 7, Problem 7.6P

Evaluating the Income Statement and Cash Flow Effects of Lower of Cost or Market

Jaffa Company prepared its annual financial statements dated December 31 of the current year. The company applies the FIFO inventory costing method: however, the company neglected to apply LCM to the ending inventory. The preliminary current year income statement follows:

Sales revenue $300,000
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory $ 33,000
Purchases 184,000
Goods available for sale 217,000
Ending inventory (FIFO cost) 50,450
Cost of goods sold 166,550
Gross profit 133,450
Operating expenses 62,000
Pretax income 71,450
Income tax expense (30%) 21,435
Net income $ 50,015

Assume that you have been asked to restate the current year financial statements to incorporate LCM. You have developed the following data relating to the current year ending inventory:

Acquisition Cost Net Realizable Value
Item Quantity Unit Total (Market)
A 3,050 $3 $ 9,150 $4
B 1,500 5.5 8,250 3.5
C 7,100 1.5 10,650 3.5
D 3,200 7 22,400 4
550,450

Required:

  1. 1. Restate this income statement to reflect LCM valuation of the current year ending inventory. Apply LCM on an item-by-item basis and show computations.
  2. 2. Compare and explain the LCM effect on each amount that was changed on the income statement in requirement (1).
  3. 3. What is the conceptual basis for applying LCM to merchandise inventories?
  4. 4. Thought question: What effect did LCM have on the current year cash flow? What will be the long-term effect on cash flow?
