Robots, Inc. 2017 2016 Current assets Cash \( 153,010 \) 538,489 Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of \(46,000 in 2017 and \)160,000 in 2016 1,627,980 2,596,291 Inventories (Note 2) 1,340,494 1,734,873 Other current assets 123,388 90,592 Assets of discontinued operations — 32,815 Total current assets 3,244,872 4,993,060 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 (in part): Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market.

Note 2: Inventories consist of the following. 2017 2016 Raw materials \(1,264,646 \)2,321,178 Work in process 240,988 171,222 Finished goods and display units 129,406 711,252 Total inventories 1,635,040 3,203,652 Less: Amount classified as long-term 294,546 1,468,779 Current portion \(1,340,494 \)1,734,873 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the LIFO method or market for Robots, Inc. If the FIFO method had been used for the entire consolidated group, inventories after an adjustment to the lower-of-cost-ormarket would have been approximately \(2,000,000 and \)3,800,000 at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventory has been written down to estimated net realizable value, and results of operations for 2017, 2016, and 2015 include a corresponding charge of approximately \(868,000, \)960,000, and \(273,000, respectively, which represents the excess of LIFO cost over market. Inventory of \)294,546 and \(1,468,779 at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, shown on the balance sheet as a noncurrent asset represents that portion of the inventory that is not expected to be sold currently. Reduction in inventory quantities during the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 resulted in liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at a lower cost prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of fiscal 2014 purchases. The effect of these reductions was to decrease the net loss by approximately \)24,000, \(157,000, and \)90,000 at October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Instructions (a) Comment on why Robots, Inc., might disclose how its LIFO inventories would be valued under FIFO. (b) Why does the LIFO liquidation reduce operating costs? (c) Comment on whether Robots, Inc. would report more or less income if it had been on a FIFO basis for all its inventory
