- Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.39 and lasts 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.10 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.115. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour.

The write-down is significant; Abercrombie's reported net income after this write-down was $35.6 million. Interestingly, Abercrombie excluded the inventory write-down from its non-GAAP income measures presented to investors; GAAP earnings were also included in the same report. Question: From an investor standpoint, do you think that the effect of the inventory write-down should be considered when…arrow_forwardFinancial accountingarrow_forward
