book value is computed under the
a.  weighted-average method.

rounded to the nearest dollar?
(D) 12,432. Avg. on      1/6            $49,910 ÷ 5,000 = $9.982/unit
                                                  1/26  $53,872 ÷ 5,200 = $10.36/unit

Kiner Co. has the following data related to an item of inventory:

Inventory, March 31                                                  130 units

The value assigned to ending inventory if Kiner uses LIFO is


b          (100 × $4.20) + (30 × $4.40) = $552.
Kiner Co. has the following data related to an item of inventory:

Inventory, March 31                                                  130 units

The value assigned to cost of goods sold if Kiner uses FIFO is


(D) 1,696. 100 + 350 + 70 – 130 = 390 units
                                    (100 × $4.20) + (290 × $4.40) = $1,696.
Baker Company has been using the LIFO method of inventory valuation for 10
years, since it began operations. Its 2007 ending inventory was $40,000, but it
would have been $60,000 if FIFO had been used. Thus, if FIFO had been
used, Baker's income before income taxes would have been
(A) $20,000 greater over the 10-year period. ($60,000 – $40,000) =
$20,000.

Assuming that perpetual inventory records are kept in units only, the ending
inventory on an average-cost basis, rounded to the nearest dollar, is
(B) 4,238. $21,210 ÷ 6,500 units = $3.26
$3.26 × 1,300 = $4,238.
Johnson Company had 500 units of “Tank” in its inventory at a cost of $4
each. It purchased, for $2,800, 300 more units of “Tank”. Johnson then sold
400 units at a selling price of $10 each, resulting in a gross profit of $1,600.
The cost flow assumption used by Johnson
(C) (400 × $10) – $1,600 = $2,400 COGS
  [(500 × $4) + $2,800] – $2,400 = $2,400 E.I. ($4,800 ÷ 800) × 400 units =
$2,400 E.I. under weighted avg.
Kingman Company had 500 units of “Dink” in its inventory at a cost of $5
each. It purchased, for $2,400, 300 more units of “Dink”. Kingman then sold
600 units at a selling price of $10 each, resulting in a gross profit of $2,100.
The cost flow assumption used by Kingman
(B) (600  $10) – $2,100 = $3,900 COGS
[(500  $5) + $2,400] – $3,900 = $1,000 E.I.  200 × $5 = $1,000 E.I. under
LIFO.
Brown Corporation uses the FIFO method for internal reporting purposes and
LIFO for external reporting purposes. The balance in the LIFO Reserve
account at the end of 2007 was $60,000. The balance in the same account at
the end of 2008 is $90,000. Brown’s Cost of Goods Sold account has a
balance of $450,000 from sales transactions recorded during the year. What
amount should Brown report as Cost of Goods Sold in the 2008 income
statement?
(C) 480,000. $450,000 + ($90,000 – $60,000) = $480,000.

Johnson Company had 400 units of “Tank” in its inventory at a cost of $4
each. It purchased 600 more units of “Tank” at a cost of $6 each. Johnson

then sold 700 units at a selling price of $15 each. The LIFO liquidation
overstated normal gross profit by
(B) 300. [(700 – 600) × ($9 – $6)] = $300.

                                            28                  300                    48
            A physical count on January 31, 2007 shows 600 units of product A on
hand. The cost of the inventory at January 31, 2007 under the LIFO method is
(C) 25,500. (450 × $42) + (150 × $44) = $25,500.
When the double extension approach to the dollar-value LIFO inventory cost
flow method is used, the inventory layer added in the current year is multiplied
by an index number. How would the following be used in the calculation of this
index number?
(A) Ending inventory                            Ending inventory
                at current year cost                  at base year cost

Carr Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method on December 31,
2007. Carr's entire inventory constitutes a single pool. On December 31,
2007, the inventory was $320,000 under the dollar-value LIFO method.
Inventory data for 2008 are as follows:
                        12/31/08 inventory at year-end prices                               
$440,000
                        Relevant price index at year end (base year 2007)                   
110

Using dollar value LIFO, Carr's inventory at December 31, 2008 is


(B) 408,000. $440,000 ÷ 1.1 = $400,000
$320,000 + ($80,000 × 1.1) = $408,000.
