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.
