答案和详解如下： Q6. An analyst gathers the following information about a firm: - Last in, first out (LIFO) inventory = $10,000
- Beginning LIFO reserve = $2,500
- Ending LIFO reserve = $4,000
- LIFO cost of goods sold = $15,000
- LIFO net income = $1,500
- Tax rate is 40%
To convert the financial statements to a FIFO basis, the amount the analyst should add to the stockholders' equity is closest to: A) $2,400. B) $2,800. C) $4,000. Correct answer is A)
If the firm had used FIFO inventory cost, tax liability would be higher by (LIFO reserve × tax rate) and retained earnings would be higher by [LIFO reserve × (1 − tax rate)]. (LIFO reserve)(1 − t) = $4,000(1 − 0.4) = $2,400 Q7. If a company using last in, first out (LIFO) reports an inventory balance of $22,000 and a LIFO reserve of $4,000, the estimated value for the inventory on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis would be:
A) $13,000. B) $26,000. C) $18,000. Correct answer is B) FIFO INV = LIFO INV + LIFO Reserve
X = 22,000 + 4,000
X = 26,000 Q8. The formula to convert cost of goods sold (COGS) from last in, first out (LIFO) to first in, first out (FIFO) is: A) COGS FIFO = COGS LIFO – decrease in the LIFO reserve. B) COGS FIFO = COGS LIFO + beginning LIFO reserve. C) COGS FIFO = COGS LIFO – increase in the LIFO reserve. Correct answer is C) The formula for converting COGS from LIFO to FIFO is COGSF = COGSL − (LIFO reserveE − LIFO reserveB) Q9. The year-end financial statements for a firm using last in first out (LIFO) acounting show an inventory level of $5,000, cost of goods sold (COGS) of $16,000, and inventory purchases of $14,500. If the LIFO reserve is $4,000 at year-end and was $1,500 at the beginning of the year, what would the COGS have been using FIFO accounting?
A) $12,000. B) $13,500. C) $18,500. Correct answer is B) COGS from LIFO to FIFO: COGSF = COGSL − change in LIFO reserve
= COGSL - (LIFO reserveE − LIFO reserveB)
= $16,000 − ($4,000 − $1,500)
= $16,000 − $2,500
= $13,500 Q10. First in, first out (FIFO) inventory equals: A) LIFO cost of goods sold − changes in LIFO reserve. B) the change in LIFO reserve − LIFO ending reserve. C) LIFO inventory + LIFO reserve. Correct answer is C) To convert LIFO inventory balances to a FIFO basis, simply add the LIFO reserve to the LIFO inventory: INVF = INVL + LIFO Reserve |
