In a period of rising prices,a. cost of goods sold under LIFO will be less than under FIFO.b. gross profit under FIFO will be higher than under LIFO.c. LIFO inventory will be greater than FIFO inventory.d. net income under LIFO will be higher than under FIFO.
Gross profit will be the:
A.
highest if LIFO is used and inventory costs are decreasing.
B.
highest if FIFO is used and inventory costs are increasing.
C.
lowest if LIFO is used and inventory costs are increasing.
D.
all of the above
For each of the following situations, indicate whether FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average applies:
a. In a period of falling prices, net income would be highest.
b. In a period of falling prices, the unit cost of goods would be the same for ending inventory and cost of goods sold.
c. In a period of rising prices, net income would be highest.
d. In a period of rising
prices, cost of goods sold would be highest.

The gross profit will be greater if FIFO is used ratherthan LIFO.d. All of the above are truearrow_forward
- During periods of rising prices, which method (FIFO-LIFO-AVCO) results in the highest gross profit? Why?arrow_forwardCan you explain why the answer is B and not C. If inventory prices are decreasing wouldnt LIFO result in a lower COGS and which would lead to a higher Net income thus higher income tax expense?arrow_forwardFor each item below, indicate whether FIFO or LIFO will generally result in a higher reported amount when inventory costs are rising versus falling. The first answer is provided as an example.arrow_forward
- During a period of rising inventory prices the LIFO cost flow method will result in higher total assets than FIFO. True or False True Falsearrow_forwardWhich 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 Abovearrow_forwardThe original cost of an item of inventory is above its replacement cost. The item s replacement cost is below its net realizable value but is higher than its net realizable value minus a normal profit. Under the lower of cost or market method, the inventory item should be valued at: a. Net realizable value. b. Original cost. c. Replacement cost. d. Net realizable value less normal profit margin.arrow_forward
- During periods when costs are rising and inventory quantities are stable, cost of goods sold will be: Multiple Choice Lower under average cost than LIFO. Higher under FIFO than average cost. Lower under LIFO than FIFO. Higher under FIFO than LIFO.arrow_forwardUnder the lower of cost or market inventory valuation rule, market value of inventory is defined as: a.Net realizable value. b.Net realizable value minus a normal profit margin. c.The lower of net realizable value or current replacement cost. d.Current replacement cost.arrow_forwardContrast the income statement effect of LIFO versus FIFO(on Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit) when ( a ) costsare rising and ( b ) costs are falling.arrow_forward
