Prof Gear uses FIFO method to cost inventories, and Watsco uses the LIFO method. During periods of rising prices which of the following is true: A) Prof Gear's Inventory is closer to replacement costs and it's COGS is lower than current costs compared to Watsco. B) During periods of rising prices a firm that uses LIFO will have a more accurate (i.e. closer to replacement costs) for the Inventory on their balance sheet. C) During periods of rising prices a firm that uses FIFO will have a more accurate (closer to current costs) for their COGS on their income statement. D) Prof Gear's Inventory is much lower than replacement costs and it's COGS is closer to current costs compared to Watsco.

In rimes of rising prices, the inventory cost method that will yield the highest cost of goods sold is (a) LIFO. (b) weighted-average. (c) FIFO. (d) none of the above.
Zimt AG uses the FIFO method, and Nutmeg Inc. uses the LIFO method. Compared tothe cost of replacing the inventory, during periods of rising prices the ending inventorybalance reported by:A. Zimt is too high.B. Nutmeg is too low.C. Nutmeg is too high.
Which of the following statement is not valid as it applies to inventory costing method? A) If inventory quanities are to be maintained, part of the earning must be invested (plowed back) in inventories when FIFO is used during a period of rising prices. B) LIFO tends to smooth ou the net income patterns by matching currents cost of goods sold with current revenue, when inventories remain at costant quantities. C) When a firm using the LIFO method fails to maintain its usual inventory position (reduces stock on hand below customary levels), there may be a matching of old cost with current revenue. D) The use of FIFO permits some control by managment over the amount of net income for a period through controlled purchase, which is not true with LIFO.
Which of the following statements is NOT true of Economic Order Quantity? O A. The economic order quantity mathematically determines the minimum total inventory cost B. The EOQ is directly proportional to the sales per period O C. The optimal order size is determined by the EOQ model D. The EOQ ignores inventory reorder costs and inventory carrying costs
Which of the following statements regarding the lower of cost and net realizable value (LCNRV) rule is true? a.The LCNRV rule is an application of the cost principle. b.When the net realizable value of inventory drops below the cost of inventory, an adjustment is made to decrease inventory to its net realizable value and decrease income. c.If a company uses the LCNRV rule, there is no need to use a cost flow assumption such as FIFO, or weighted average cost. d.When the net realizable value of inventory is above the cost of inventory, an adjustment is made to increase inventory to its net realizable value and increase income.
If costs are rising, which of the following will be true?a. The cost of goods sold will be greater if LIFO is usedrather than weighted average.b. The cost of ending inventory will be greater if FIFO isused rather than LIFO.c. The gross profit will be greater if FIFO is used ratherthan LIFO.d. All of the above are true
Which of the following is true regarding LIFO and FIFO? A) In a period of decreasing costs, LIFO results in lower total assets than FIFO. B) In a period of decreasing costs, LIFO results in lower net income than FIFO. C) In a period of rising costs, LIFO results in lower net income than FIFO. D) The amount reported for COGS is based on net realizable value of inventory if LIFO is used. E) None of the Above

TAD, Inc. uses the LIFO-lower of cost or market method to value inventory. If the inventory value is replacement cost, which one of the following statements is true? Multiple Choice Historical cost is less than replacement cost. Replacement cost is greater than net realizable value less a normal profit margin. Replacement cost is greater than historical cost. Net realizable value is greater than historical cost.
