1. Inventory costs are increasing from $10 to $14 to $18 per unit.
2. FIFO results in the highest cost of ending inventory ($360)
because under FIFO the ending inventory is costed at the
last costs incurred during the period. When costs are
increasing, the last costs are the highest costs.
FIFO results in the lowest cost of goods sold. This occurs
because the oldest costs are assigned to cost of goods sold.
When costs are increasing, the oldest costs are the lowest.
FIFO results in the highest gross profit because cost of
goods sold, the expense, is the lowest. (Sales revenue is
unaffected by the inventory costing method.)
3. LIFO results in the lowest cost of ending inventory ($240)
because under LIFO, the ending inventory is costed at the
oldest costs. When costs are increasing, the oldest costs are
the lowest costs.
LIFO results in the highest cost of goods sold. This occurs
because the last costs of the period are assigned to cost of
goods sold. When costs are increasing, the last costs are the
highest.
LIFO results in the lowest gross profit because cost of goods
sold, the expense, is the highest. (Sales revenue is

Lands’ End managers can delay purchases of inventory until the next year. Under LIFO, high inventory costs that would have been paid for inventory do not become expense as cost of goods sold in the current year. As a result, the current year’s income statement reports a higher net income than Lands’ End would have reported if the company had replaced inventory before year end.

2. Gross profit under FIFO and LIFO differ because inventory
costs decreased during the period.
If you base your prediction on the decrease in inventory unit
cost, then, yes, you would predict that LIFO gross profit
would be higher.
But if you assume that FIFO produces higher gross profit,
then, no, the actual result does not follow your prediction.

DATE: _____________
TO: Rick Tabor
FROM: Student Name
SUBJECT: Proposal for Saving Income Tax
We can save income tax by buying above-normal quantities of inventory before the end of the year. Inventory costs are rising, and the company uses the LIFO inventory method. Under LIFO, the higher cost of year-end purchases of inventory goes straight into cost of goods sold. This increases cost of goods sold and decreases net income and income taxes. Because our inventory levels are lower than normal, we need the inventory anyway. In effect, we can use our cash to buy inventory or to pay income taxes. I think it would be wiser to buy inventory. 396 Financial Accounting 6/e Solutions Manual

These ratio values explain the merchandising philosophies of these companies. Wal-Mart has the lowest gross profit percentage (21.5%) and the fastest rate of inventory turnover (7.3 times per year). This makes sense for a volume discounter.
Estée Lauder has the highest gross profit percentage (77.7%) and the slowest inventory turnover (1.8 times per year). High markups and low turnover go hand-in-hand.
Coca-Cola’s and Intel’s ratios fall between these extremes.
These ratio data suggest that Intel is the most profitable company of this group.

Allergan actually performed poorly in 20X5, compared to 20X4, with net income down from $51,000 to $36,000. The understatement of inventory at the end of 20X4 caused 20X4 net income to be understated. Then this same error caused 20X5 net income to be overstated, giving the false impression that profits were higher in 20X5. In reality, net income was down in 20X5.

The LIFO liquidation
, Boosted gross profit by $9,000 ($160,000 – $151,000).
, Cost the company $3,600 ($9,000 , .40) in income tax.
, Boosted net income by $5,400 ($9,000 – $3,600).
, Was bad for the company because the additional income
tax drained off valuable cash. Paying the added tax was
not worth the boost in net income because the company
would have to replenish its inventory anyway, so it’s better
to go ahead and buy the goods before year end. That
action would save the cash that was wasted on taxes.

The gross profit percentage dropped significantly while the rate of inventory turnover improved. This suggests that Zmart was having to discount its merchandise more and more just to sell the goods. The end result was a net loss in 20X7.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased significantly, which suggests that Zmart was having to advertise heavily in order to sell its inventory.

LM Electronics should apply the lower-of-cost-or-market rule to
account for inventories. The current replacement cost of ending inventory is less than LM’s actual cost, so LM must write the inventory down to current replacement cost, with the following journal entry:
Cost of Goods Sold………… 1,500,000
Inventory………………….. 1,500,000
To write inventory down to market value.
LM should report the following amounts in its financial statements:
BALANCE SHEET
Inventory ($8,900,000 – $1,500,000)…………….. $ 7,400,000
INCOME STATEMENT
Cost of goods sold ($27,400,000 + $1,500,000). $28,900,000
Accounting conservatism is the reason to account for
inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Conservatism directs accountants to write inventory down if cost appears unrealistically high. In this case conservatism comes into play because the current replacement cost (market value) of LM’s
ending inventory is less than cost. Under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule, this requires a write-down of the inventory value to current replacement cost.

These statistics do not indicate which company should be
more profitable. Hershey has a higher gross profit percentage, but Target turns its inventory over more rapidly. On one measure Hershey looks better; on the other measure Target is better. Another factor that makes it difficult to tell which company should be more profitable is that the gross profit percentage and inventory turnover do not take into account operating expenses.

440 Financial Accounting 6/e Solutions Manual
(continued) Decision Case 1
Reqs. 1 and 2
The year-end purchase of inventory has no effect on net income under the FIFO method because the cost of the units purchased at year end go into ending inventory, not into cost of goods sold. Under LIFO, the year-end purchase of inventory directly affects net income because the cost of units purchased at year end go directly into cost of goods sold. If the company uses LIFO and purchases the inventory at year end, net income will decrease from $213,000 to $189,750.
Req. 3
Under LIFO, a year-end purchase can be made in order to manage net income.
Chapter 6 Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold 441
(15-25 min.) Decision Case 2
Req. 1
LIFO reports the most recent costs of inventory (as cost of goods sold) in the income statement. As a result, the inventory cost reported in the balance sheet is made up of the older unit costs of goods purchased. In terms of the relative currency of the unit costs, the balance sheet amount is ―inaccurate.‖
FIFO reports the most recent costs of inventory (as the inventory balance) in the balance sheet. The income statement therefore reports an amount of cost of goods sold that is made up of the older unit costs of goods purchased. In this sense, the cost of goods sold figure is ―inaccurate.‖
Req. 2
Yes, the authors would prefer managers to be conservative in accounting for inventory — for all the reasons accountants use
conservatism. We would prefer to be pleasantly surprised rather than negatively shocked.
Req. 3
In year 1, Outback’s conservatism decreases the inventory amount and the amount of income reported in the financial statements. In year 2, the conservative approach produces the opposite effect on income. As Outback sells its inventory at current (high) prices, it matches against revenue the lower carrying amounts of inventory that resulted from last year’s write-down. The result is higher reported income in year 2 than Outback would be reporting if the company had not written inventory down in year 1.

Ethical Issue
Req. 1
Changing accounting methods year after year hurts a company’s credibility, which makes it hard for the company to borrow or raise money from outside investors. The question that arises about such a company is: What does the business have to hide?
Req. 2
The consistency principle is violated.
Req. 3
Creditors and outside investors could be harmed by
accounting changes year after year. It becomes difficult to tell which changes in the business are real and which changes result from the shift in the accounting method. Outsiders find it difficult to track the company’s operating results and financial position over time. Ultimately the company suffers because lenders will not want to loan it money, and outsiders will be reluctant to invest money in the business. This may deprive the entity of needed funds and hurt its chances for success or survival.

Gross profit percent decreased from the prior year. Inventory turnover also decreased. Overall, Pier 1’s combination of gross
profit percent and rate of inventory turnover deteriorated during 2004. These data may explain why net income dropped in 2004.
