Concept explainers
1.
LCM (Lower of Cost or Market) approach: It is an approach that values the inventory at historical cost or lesser than the market replacement cost. The replacement cost refers to the amount that could be realized from the sale of the inventory.
NRV (Net Realizable Value): It refers to an estimated selling price that a company expects to collect in the form of cash from the customers by the sale of inventory. The value is reduced by the expected cost of completion, disposal and transportation. Sales commission and shipping costs also included in the predictable cost.
To Calculate: The carrying value of inventory at year-end by using the rule of LCM and NRV applied to (a) individual products, (b) product categories, and (c) total inventory.
2.
The amount of the loss for (a) individual products, (b) product categories, and (c) total inventory and record the adjusting entry .

- ( Appendix 6B) Refer to the information for Morgan Inc. above. If Morgan uses a periodic inventory system, what is the cost of goods sold under FIFO at April 30? a. $32,800 b. $38,400 c. $63,600 d. $69,200arrow_forwardInventory Write-Down Stiles Corporation uses the FIFO cost flow assumption and is in the process of applying the LCNRV rule for each of two products in its ending inventory. A profit margin of 30% on the selling price is considered normal for each product. Specific data for each product are as follows: Inventory Write-Down Use the information in E8-1. Assume that Stiles uses the LIFO cost flow assumption and is applying the LCM rule. Required: 1. What is the correct inventory value for each product? 2. Next Level With regard to requirement 1, what effect does the imposition of the constraints on market value have on the inventory valuations?arrow_forward( Appendix 6B) Inventory Costing Methods: Periodic System Harrington Company had the following data for inventory during a recent year: Assume that Harrington uses a periodic inventory accounting system. Required: 1. Using the FIFO, LIFO, and average cost methods, compute the ending inventory and cost of goods sold. ( Note: Use four decimal places for per-unit calculations and round all other numbers to the nearest dollar.) 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Which method will produce the most realistic amount for income? For inventory? 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Which method will produce the lowest amount paid for taxes?arrow_forward
- Effects of Inventory Costing Methods Refer to the information for Tyler Company above. Required: 1. Which inventory costing method produces the highest amount for net income? 2. Which inventory costing method produces the lowest amount for taxes? 3. Which inventory costing method produces the highest amount for ending inventory? 4. How would your answers to Requirements 1-3 change if inventory prices declined during the period?arrow_forwardCalculate the cost of goods sold dollar value for A74 Company for the sale on March 11, considering the following transactions under three different cost allocation methods and using perpetual inventory updating. Provide calculations for (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) weighted average (AVG).arrow_forwardLower of Cost or Market Garcia Company uses FIFO, and its inventory at the end of the year was recorded in the accounting records at $17,800. Due to technological changes in the market, Garcia would be able to replace its inventory for $16,500. Required: 1. Using the lower of cost or market method, what amount should Garcia report for inventory on its balance sheet at the end of the year? 2. Prepare the journal entry required to value the inventory at the lower of cost or market.arrow_forward

Compute cost of goods sold, the cost of ending inventory, and gross margin for each year using FIFO. 2. Compute cost of goods sold, the cost of ending inventory, and gross margin for each year using LIFO. 3. Compute cost of goods sold, the cost of ending inventory, and gross margin for each year using the average cost method. ( Note: Use four decimal places for per unit calculations and round all other numbers to the nearest dollar.) 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Which method would result in the lowest amount paid for taxes? 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Which method produces the most realistic amount for income? For inventory? Explain your answer. 6. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION What is the effect of purchases made later in the year on the gross margin when LIFO is employed? When FIFO is employed?
