Question:Tori Amos Corporation began operations on December 1, 2016. The only inventory transaction in 2016 was the purchase of inventory on December 10, 2016, at a cost of \(20 per unit. None of this inventory was sold in 2016. Relevant information is as follows.

Ending inventory units

December 31, 2016 100

December 31, 2017, by purchase date

December 2, 2017 100

July 20, 2017 50 150

During the year, the following purchases and sales were made.

Purchases Sales

March 15 300 units at \)24 April 10 200

July 20 300 units at 25 August 20 300

September 4 200 units at 28 November 18 150

December 2 100 units at 30 December 12 200

The company uses the periodic inventory method.

Instructions

(a) Determine ending inventory under (1) specific identification, (2) FIFO, (3) LIFO, and (4) average cost.

(b) Determine ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO. Assume that the December 2, 2017, purchase cost is the current cost of inventory. (Hint:The beginning inventory is the base layer priced at $20 per unit.)

You are the vice president of finance of Sandy Alomar Corporation, a retail company that prepared two different schedules of gross margin for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. These schedulesappear below.

Sales Cost of Gross

(\(5 per unit) Goods Sold Margin

Schedule 1 \)150,000 \(124,900 \)25,100

Schedule 2 150,000 129,400 20,600

The computation of cost of goods sold in each schedule is based on the following data.

Cost Total

Units per Unit Cost

Beginning inventory, January 1 10,000 \(4.00 \)40,000

Purchase, January 10 8,000 4.20 33,600

Purchase, January 30 6,000 4.25 25,500

Purchase, February 11 9,000 4.30 38,700

Purchase, March 17 11,000 4.40 48,400

Jane Torville, the president of the corporation, cannot understand how two different gross margins can be computed from thesame set of data. As the vice president of finance, you have explained to Ms. Torville that the two schedules are based on differentassumptions concerning the flow of inventory costs, i.e., FIFO and LIFO. Schedules 1 and 2 were not necessarily prepared inthis sequence of cost flow assumptions.

Instructions

Prepare two separate schedules computing cost of goods sold and supporting schedules showing the composition of the endinginventory under both cost flow assumptions.

Clay Mattews, an inventory control specialist, is interested in better understanding the accounting for inventories. Although Clay understands the more sophisticated computer inventory control systems, he has littleknowledge of how inventory cost is determined. In studying the records of Strider Enterprises, which sells normal brand-namegoods from its own store and on consignment through Chavez Inc., he asks you to answer the following questions.

Instructions

(a) Should Strider Enterprises include in its inventory normal brand-name goods purchased from its suppliers but not yetreceived if the terms of purchase are f.o.b. shipping point (manufacturer’s plant)? Why?

(b) Should Strider Enterprises include freight-in expenditures as an inventory cost? Why?

(c) If Strider Enterprises purchases its goods on terms 2/10, net 30, should the purchases be recorded gross or net? Why?

(d) What are products on consignment? How should they be reported in the financial statements?

Question:Matlock Company uses a perpetual inventory system. Its beginning inventory consists of 50 units that cost \(34 each. During June, the company purchased 150 units at \)34 each, returned 6 units for credit, and sold 125 units at $50 each.

Journalize the June transactions.

Accounting, Analysis, and Principles

Englehart Company sells two types of pumps. One is large and is for commercial use. The other is smaller and is used in residentialswimming pools. The following inventory data is available for the month of March.

March 18 900 \(1,080 \)972,000

March 29 600 \(1,140 \)684,000

Inventory at March 31: 500

Accounting

(a) Assuming Englehart uses a periodic inventory system, determine the cost of inventory on hand at March 31 and thecost of goods sold for March under first-in, first-out (FIFO).

(b) Assume Englehart uses dollar-value LIFO and one pool, consisting of the combination of residential and commercialpumps. Determine the cost of inventory on hand at March 31 and the cost of goods sold for March. Assume Englehart’sinitial adoption of LIFO is on March 1. Use the double-extension method to determine the appropriate price indices.

(Hint:The price index for February 28/March 1 should be 1.00.) (Round the index to three decimal places.)

Analysis

(a) Assume you need to compute a current ratio for Englehart. Which inventory method (FIFO or dollar-value LIFO) doyou think would give you a more meaningful current ratio?

(b) Some of Englehart’s competitors use LIFO inventory costing and some use FIFO. How can an analyst compare theresults of companies in an industry, when some use LIFO and others use FIFO?

Principles

Can companies change from one inventory accounting method to another? If a company changes to an inventory accounting methodused by most of its competitors, what are the trade-offs in terms of the conceptual framework discussed in Chapter 2 of the textbook?
