(1)
Absorption costing is a process that the company uses to allocate all types of costs on all products, and then calculates the final price of the products.
Variable costing considers only the variable costs and it is not used for external purpose. However, the company uses this method for their own internal management.
To compare: Income under variable costing and absorption costing for Company A.

Just-in-time Inventory System: It means increasing the efficiency of the inventory system by aligning the raw material required from suppliers directly to the material required in the production. This reduces the inventory costs.
To compare: Income under absorption and variable costing if ‘Just-in-time’ (JIT) inventory system is used.

- 1. The Sta. Lucia Company organized in 2017, used the average costing method for its inventory. It is considering to change its inventory costing policy and to adopt the FIFO basis. Profit under the average costing method and Inventory costs, based on both average and FIFO method are shown below: Profit 2017 - 3,600,00 2018 - 5,000,000 2019 - 7,000,000 Inventory, end: Average basis 1,200,000 - 2017 1,300,000 - 2018 2,000,000 - 2019 FIFO basis 1,240,000 - 2017 1,420,000 - 218 2,650,000- 2019 REQUIRED: Determine the profit of Sta.

- In some instances, accounting principles require a departure from valuing inventories at cost alone. Determine the proper unit inventory price in the following cases using LCNRV. Cases 00100 00200 00300 00400 00500 Cost $15.90 $16.10 $15.90 $15.90 $15.90 Sales value 14.80 19.20 15.20 10.40 17.80 Estimated cost to complete 1.50 1.90 1.65 .80 1.00 Estimated cost to sell .50 .70 .55 .40 .60arrow_forwardIf the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $56,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.) Operating income byarrow_forwardSamsung Electronics reports the following regarding its accounting for inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method, except for materials-in-transit. Inventories are reduced for the estimated losses arising from excess, obsolescence, and decline in value. This reduction is determined by estimating market value based on future customer demand. The losses on inventory obsolescence are recorded as a part of cost of sales. 1. What cost flow assumption(s) does Samsung apply in assigning costs to its inventories? 2. If at the current year-end there was an increase in the value of its inventories such that there was a reversal of W550 (W is Korean won) million for the write-down recorded in the prior year, how would Samsung account for this under IFRS? Would Samsung’s accounting be different for this reversal if it reported under U.S. GAAP? Explain.arrow_forward

- Identify the inventory costing method (SI, FIFO, LIFO, or WA) best described by each of the following separate statements. Assume a period of increasing costs. 1. Results in the highest cost of goods sold. 2. Yields the highest net income. 3. Has the lowest tax expense because of reporting the lowest net income. 4. Better matches current costs with revenues. 5. Precisely matches the costs of items with the revenues they generate.arrow_forwardI need help calculating not only the net realizable value for all four products but also calculating the ending inventory using the LOWER OF COST OR MARKET METHOD for- individual items, category, and total inventory (Please Show Calculations).arrow_forwardSmmons.
