Concept explainers
(a)
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS):
IFRS are a set of international accounting standards which are framed, approved, and published by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for the preparation and disclosure of international financial reports.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP):
These are the guidelines necessary to create accounting principles for the implementation of financial information reporting in the Country U.
First-in-First-Out (FIFO):
In this method, items purchased initially are sold first. So, the value of the ending inventory consists the recent cost for the remaining unsold items.
Last-in-First-Out (LIFO):
In this method, items purchased recently are sold first. So, the value of the ending inventory consists the initial cost for the remaining unsold items.

(c)
Explanation of Solution
If the inventory valuation method is changed to reflect the use of IFRS, Company E would have greatest impact on total current assets.
Description:
Refer to Table (5) for value and computation of impact of change in inventory valuation method on total current assets.
(d)
To indicate: the Company which would have the highest impact on net income due to change in inventory valuation method, if the company uses IFRS instead of GAAP
(d)
Explanation of Solution
If the inventory valuation method is changed to reflect the use of IFRS, Company K would have greatest impact on net income.
Description:
Refer to Table (6) for value and computation of impact of change in inventory valuation method on net income.
(e)
To discuss: The reasons for negative impact on net income if LIFO is used rather than FIFO
(e)
Explanation of Solution
During inflation, the inventory purchased last will have higher price than the inventory purchased first. Thus, under LIFO method, the inventory purchased last with higher price will be sold first, thereby increasing the cost of goods sold. Increase in cost of goods sold decreases the net income
