Chapter 8, Problem 8.7BYP
Ethics Case 8–7
Profit manipulation
• LO8–4
In 2017 the Moncrief Company purchased from Jim Lester the right to be the sole distributor in the western states of a product called Zelenex. In payment, Moncrief agreed to pay Lester 20% of the gross profit recognized from the sale of Zelenex in 2018.
Moncrief uses a periodic inventory system and the LIFO inventory method. Late in 2018, the following information is available concerning the inventory of Zelenex:
| Beginning inventory, 1/1/2018 (10,000 units @ $30) | $ 300,000 |
| Purchases (40,000 units @ $30) | 1,200,000 |
| Sales (35,000 units @ $60) | 2,100,000 |
By the end of the year, the purchase price of Zelenex had risen to $40 per unit. On December 28, 2018, three days before year-end, Moncrief is in a position to purchase 20,000 additional units of Zelenex at the $40 per unit price. Due to the increase in purchase price, Moncrief will increase the selling price in 2019 to $80 per unit. Inventory on hand before the purchase, 15,000 units, is sufficient to meet the next six months’ sales and the company does not anticipate any significant changes in purchase price during 2019.
Required:
1. Determine the effect of the purchase of the additional 20,000 units on the 2018 gross profit from the sale of Zelenex and the payment due to Jim Lester.
2. Discuss the ethical dilemma Moncrief faces in determining whether or not the additional units should be purchased.

Chapter 8 Perform (ASAC LO 5 and BSAC LO 2)
Kingbird Company began operations late in 2024 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method.
Because there was no beginning inventory for 2024 and no markdowns during 2024, the ending inventory
for 2024 was $13,708 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of
2025, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods.
There was no change in the price level during 2025. The following data are available for computations.
