Question
Richardson Company cans a variety of vegetable-type soups. Recently, the company decided to value its inventories using dollar-value LIFO pools. The clerk who accounts for inventories does not understand how to value the inventory pools using this new method, so, as a private consultant, you have been asked to teach him how this new method works.
He has provided you with the following information about purchases made over a 6-year period.
You have already explained to him how this inventory method is maintained, but he would feel better about it if you were to leave him detailed instructions explaining how these calculations are done and why he needs to put all inventories at a base-year value.
Compute the ending inventory for Richardson Company for 2010 through 2015 using dollar-value LIFO.
Please explain the answer!
Explanation / Answer
Ending Inventory for Richardson Company for 2010 through 2015 using Dollar Value LIFO
Dollar Value Inventory
Dec 31 2010 = 57300 x 1 .00 = $57300
Dec 31 2011 = 57300 x 1 .00 = $57300
52500 x 1.35 =$70875
Dec 31 2011 = 57300+70875=$128175
Dec 31 2012 57300 x 1 .00 = 57300
37500 x 1.35 = 50625
Dec 31 2012 = 57300+50625 = $107925
Dec 31 2013
57300 x 1.00 = 57300
37500x 1.35 = 50625
7000 x 1.67 = 11690
Dec 31 2013 = $119615
Dec 31 2014
57300 x 1.00 = 57300
37500x 1.35 = 50625
7000 x 1.67 = 11690
11800 x 1.80 = 21240
VAlue = $140855
Dec 31 2015
57300 x 1.00 = 57300
37500x 1.35 = 50625
7000 x 1.67 = 11690
28000 x 1.80 =50400
VAlue = $170015
