Exercise 5
Speed World Cycles sells high-performance motorcycles and Motocross racers. One of Speed World’s most popular models is the Kazomma 900 dirt bike. During the current year, Speed World purchased eight of these cycles at the following costs:
Purchase Date Units Purchased Unit Cost Total Cost

1. Average cost
2. FIFO
3. LIFO
Show the number of units and the unit costs of each layer comprising the cost of goods sold and ending inventory.

1. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will result in Speed World Cycles reporting the highest net income for the current year? Would this always be the case? Explain.
2. Which of the three cost flow assumptions will minimize the income taxes owed by Speed World Cycles for the year? Would you expect this usually to be the case? Explain.
3. May Speed World Cycles use the cost flow assumption that results in the highest net income for the current year in its financial statements, but use the cost flow assumption that minimizes taxable income for the current year in its income tax return? Explain.

Part b ---
Net Bond Liability on Dec 31, 2017 under assumptions 1 = Face Value of the bonds – Unamortized Bonds Discount on Dec 31, 2017
= 80,000,000 – (Total Discount 1,600,000 – Amortized discount on June 30 and Dec 31 i.e. 40,000*2)
= 80,000,000 – (1,600,000 – 80,000)
= 80,000,000 – 1,520,000
= $6,480,000
Net Bond Liability on Dec 31, 2017 under assumptions 2 = Face Value of the bonds + Unamortized Bonds Premium on Dec 31, 2017
= 80,000,000 + (800,000 – 20,000*2)
= 80,000,000 + 760,000
= 80,760,000
Part c – Under assumption 1, the effective rate of interest is higher since the company will pay higher return to the investor against the market interest rate.
