Dollar-value LIFO method
• LO8–8
Maxi Corporation uses the unit LIFO inventory method. The costs of the company’s products have been steadily rising since the company began operations in 2008 and cost increases are expected to continue. The chief financial officer of the company would like to continue using LIFO because of its tax advantages. However, the controller, Sally Hamel, would like to reduce the recordkeeping costs of LIFO that have steadily increased over the years as new products have been added to the company’s product line. Sally suggested the use of the dollar-value LIFO method. The chief financial officer has asked Sally to describe the dollar-value LIFO procedure.
Required:

Exercise 11-27 (Algo) Product-Line Profitability Analysis [LO 11-5]
Barbour Corporation, located in Buffalo, New York, is a retailer of high-tech products and is known for its excellent quality and
innovation. Recently, the firm conducted a relevant cost analysis of one of its product lines that has only two products, T-1 and T-2. The
sales for T-2 are decreasing and the purchase costs are increasing. The firm might drop T-2 and sell only T-1.
Barbour allocates fixed costs to products on the basis of sales revenue. When the president of Barbour saw the income statements
(see below), he agreed that T-2 should be dropped. If T-2 is dropped, sales of T-1 are expected to increase by 10 percent next year, but
the firm's cost structure will remain the same.

Solomon's strategy is to obtain the best price by letting the suppliers know that it buys from the lowest bidder. Approximately four years ago, unexpected increases in demand resulted in materials shortages. Solomon was unable to find the materials it needed even though it was willing to pay premium prices. Because of the lack of raw materials, Solomon was forced to close its manufacturing facility for two weeks. Its president vowed that her company would never again be at the mercy of its suppliers. She immediately ordered her purchasing agent to perpetually maintain a one-month supply of raw materials. Compliance with the president's orders resulted in a raw materials inventory amounting to approximately $1,690,000. Warehouse rental and personnel costs to maintain the inventory amounted to $7,500 per month. Solomon has a line of…arrow_forwardProblem 9-4 Calculating OCF [LO 2] a.
