Del Rio began Rio Enterprises on January 1 with 200 units of inventory. During the year, 500 additional units were purchased, 500 units were sold, and Del ended the year with 200 units. Del is very satisfied with his first year of business although the cost of replacing his inventory rose continually throughout the year. The 500 units sold for a total of $320,000 and the 500 units purchased to replace them cost $256,000, so his cash account has increased by $64,000. Del is concerned however because he has three obligations yet to meet: taxes, dividends, and his wife. Federal and state income taxes will take 40% of his income. His investors are to receive dividends equal to half of any income after taxes are paid. And finally, Del promised his wife a big trip to Hawaii if she let him quit his job as a professor and start his own business. He promised her heʼd “make at least $50,000 after taxes. That will give us $25,000 after paying off the investors.” Del kept fairly good records during the year and knows the specific cost of each inventory unit sold. He has prepared the following table to summarize his purchases and sales. Using a pencil, fill in columns F and G in the Data Section of the worksheet printout at the end of this problem.

He has prepared the following table to summarize his purchases and sales. Examine your completed worksheet and answer the following questions: a. Which inventory cost flow assumption produces the most net income? b. Which inventory cost flow assumption produces the least net income? c. What caused the difference between your answers to a and b? d. Which inventory cost flow assumption produces the highest ending cash balance? e. Which inventory cost flow assumption produces the lowest ending cash balance? f. Does the assumption that produces the highest net income also produce the highest cash balance? Explain. g. As you recall, Del originally used the specific identification method in his initial calculations when he projected 51,600 net income. According to Dels reckoning, that should have left him cash of 25,800 (50% of 51,600) after paying his investors. Why would he only have 3,800 left? Explain. h. Which inventory cost flow assumption would you suggest Del use? Explain.

Suppose Del had purchased 250 units on November 20 rather than 150. Enter 250 in cell C14 and alter column G in the Data Section. Explain what happens to net income under each inventory cost flow assumption and why. Also, what management implications might this have for Del?

GRB Ltd has several product lines with a manager in charge of each product line. The managers are paid a bonus based on the net income generated by their product line. Rubica (the CEO of GRB Ltd) was going through the financial reports of the 2nd quarter of 2021 to analyse the performance of the product lines. For 'Sweets' one of the largest product lines of GRB Ltd, Rubica noted that while the sales declined from $800,000 in quarter 1 to $600,000 in quarter 2, the product line manager of Sweets received a bonus larger than the 1st quarter.
