QUESTION 6
SOLUTION
a. The Illinois Tool Works 2018 balance sheet reported $1,318, which is the LIFO
inventory value reported in the footnotes.
b. Illinois Tool Works balance sheet includes the following inventory at FIFO cost:
$ millions 2018 2017
c. Cumulative pretax income (as of the end of fiscal 2018) has been decreased by $97
million, the amount of the LIFO reserve, since Illinois Tool Works initially adopted LIFO
inventory costing.
d. The LIFO reserve in 2016 was $86 million. Assuming a 35% tax rate, the company
saved taxes of $30.1 million through 2016. From 2016 to 2018, the LIFO reserve
increased by $11 million from $86 million to $97 million. Assuming a 21% tax rate, the
company saved an additional $2.3 million since 2017. The total taxes saved by using
LIFO for inventory is $32.4 million ($30.1 + $2.3).
e. For 2018 only, the LIFO reserve increased by $8 million, from $89 million to $97 million.
Consequently, 2015 LIFO pretax income is $8 million lower than under the FIFO
method. This means that LIFO income taxes are lower by $1.7 million, computed as
$8 million × 0.21. In sum, for fiscal 2018, the use of LIFO inventory costing saved a
small amount.
