FIFO (8 × $160) $1,280

Computations:
Units sold = 28 (9 + 27 − 8)
Average cost per unit = $157.50 ($1,350 + $4,320) ÷ (9 + 27)
Cost per unit:
Beginning inventory = $150 ($1,350 ÷ 9 = $150)
March purchase = $160 ($4,320 ÷ 27 = $160)

Macrovision.com managers can purchase a large amount of inventory before year

end. Under LIFO, these high inventory costs go directly to cost of goods sold in the
current year. Higher cost of goods sold creates lower net income, and lower net
income results in lower income taxes. Saving on taxes is one reason companies
want to decrease their income.

DATE: _____________
TO: Jim Tolbert, President of Tolbert Trumpet Company
FROM: Student Name
SUBJECT: Proposal for Increasing Net Income
We can increase net income by not buying below-normal quantities of inventory as

we make sales. Inventory costs are rising, and the company uses the LIFO inventory
method. Under LIFO, the high cost of our inventory purchases goes straight into
cost of goods sold. By decreasing our purchases of inventory, we can keep those
high costs out of cost of goods sold this year. That will keep net income from going
lower and will help net income be as high as possible. Also, our inventory quantities
are above normal, so we don’t need to buy a lot of inventory before year end.
Student responses will vary.
(10-15 min.) S 6-9
LIFO 1. Generally associated with saving income taxes
Specific
unit cost 2. Used to account for automobiles, jewelry, and art objects
FIFO 3. Results in a cost of ending inventory that is close to the current cost
of replacing the inventory

FIFO 4. Maximizes reported income
LIFO 5. Enables a company to buy high-cost inventory at year end and

thereby to decrease reported income and income tax
LIFO 6. Results in an old measure of the cost of ending inventory
Average 7. Provides a middle-ground measure of ending inventory and cost

of goods sold
LIFO 8. Enables a company to keep reported income from dropping lower

by liquidating older layers of inventory
All 9. Writes inventory down when replacement cost drops below historical
cost
LIFO 10. Matches the most current cost of goods sold against sales revenue
