During 2019, the company has the following purchases and sales:
Required:
- 1. Compute the dollar-value LIFO cost of the ending inventory. Round the cost index to 4 decimal places and all other amounts to the nearest dollar.
- 2. Next Level By how much would the company’s gross profit differ if it had used four pools instead of a single pool?
1.
Calculate the dollar value LIFO cost of the ending inventory.
Explanation of Solution
Dollar-value LIFO method: In this method, the valuation of inventory is calculated on the monetary value of units instead of quantity of units held. The dollar value LIFO method uses the cost indexes to convert the current cost of inventory to the base year cost.
Calculate the dollar value of LIFO ending inventory:
Therefore, the dollar value LIFO cost of ending inventory is $3,699,209.
Working note 1: Determine the ending inventory costs for previous year (2018) and current year (2019):
Particulars | Product R | Product T | Product B | Product S |
Beginning inventory (in units) | 80,000 | 30,000 | 60,000 | 40,000 |
Add: Purchases (in units) | 150,000 | 130,000 | 100,000 | 120,000 |
230,000 | 160,000 | 160,000 | 160,000 | |
Less: Quantity sold (in units) | (140,000) | (100,000) | (90,000) | (140,000) |
Ending inventory (in units) (a) | 90,000 | 60,000 | 70,000 | 20,000 |
Cost per unit for Year 2018 (b) | $16 | $15 | $14 | $17 |
Ending inventory for previous year costs | $1,440,000 | $900,000 | $980,000 | $340,000 |
Cost per unit for Year 2019 (d) | $19 | $16 | $14 | $18 |
Ending inventory for current year costs | $1,710,000 | $960,000 | $980,000 | $360,000 |
Table (1)
Working note 2: Determine the cost index:
Working note 3: Calculate the costs of inventory at base year:
Given: The current cost of inventory of 2019 is $4,010,000 and the cost index for 2018 is 100. The cost index for 2019 is 109.5628.
Working note 4: Calculate the increase in relevant current costs:
The total cost at the beginning of year is $3,250,000. The change in base costs is determined by deducting ending inventory at base year cost from total cost at the beginning of year.
2.
Compute the difference in amount of company’s gross profit if it had used four pools rather than single pool.
Explanation of Solution
If the company had used four cost pools rather than one, there would have been a LIFO liquidation profit on the Product S of $20,000

On January 1, 2019, Ortman had 5,000,000 gallons on hand, for which it had paid $0.50 per gallon. During 2019, Ortman made the following purchases: During 2019, Ortman sold 65 000,000 gallons at $0.75 per gallon (35,000,000 gallons were sold on June 29 and 30,000,000 gallons were sold on Nov. 22), leaving an ending inventory of 7,000,000 gallons. Assume that Ortman uses a perpetual inventory system. Ortman uses the lower of cost or market for its inventories, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Required: 1. Assume that the market value of the chemical is $0.76 per gallon on December 31, 2019. Compute the cost of ending inventory using the FIFO and average cost methods, and then apply LCM. ( Note: Use four decimal places for per-unit calculations and round all other numbers to the nearest dollar.) 2. Assume that the market value of the chemical is $0.58 per gallon on December 31, 2019. Compute the cost of ending inventory using the FIFO and average cost methods, and then apply LCM.
