Diaz Company's first year in operation was Year 1. For Year 1, its cost of goods sold using FIFO was $240,000, and its ending inventory was $58,400. If Diaz had used the LIFO cost flow method, its ending inventory would have been $56,000. Required:a)What would the cost of goods sold have been with LIFO?b)Based on this information, was Year 1 a period of rising inventory prices or falling inventory prices?

Chase Company uses the perpetual inventory method. The inventory records for Chase reflected the following information: Assuming Chase uses a FIFO cost flow method, what is the cost of goods sold for the sales transaction on January 31?

The following information relating to the current year was taken from the records of Poole Company: Required:a)Assuming that Poole uses the LIFO cost flow method, determine how much product cost would be allocated to cost of goods sold, and how much to inventory at the end of the year.b)Based on your results from part (a), calculate inventory turnover and average number of days to sell inventory.c)Assuming that Poole uses the FIFO cost flow method, determine how much product cost would be allocated to Cost of Goods sold, and how much to inventory at the end of the year.d)Based on your results from part (c), calculate inventory turnover and average number of days to sell inventory.e)Compare your results from parts (b)and (d). Do LIFO and FIFO give the same results for inventory turnover? Which is higher, and why?

Howard Company uses the perpetual inventory system. The company applies the lower-of-cost-or-market rule to the entire stock of inventory in the aggregate. At the end of the current year, the cost of the inventory was $19,456 and its current market value is $19,950. Indicate how the required adjustment affects the elements of the financial statements. Use the following letters to record your answer in the box shown below. If an event increases one account and decreases another account within the same element, record I/D. If an event has no impact on the element, record NA. You do not need to enter amounts.Increase = IDecrease = DNot Affected = NA
