Calculate the ending inventory for LIFO cost if single inventory pool is used.
1.
Explanation of Solution
Cost index: Cost index refer to the index which relates the inventory cost of current year with the base year. The cost index is usually prepared with a sample from the total inventory.
Double-extension method: Under the double-extension method of cost index, the ending inventory of the current year are valued at the current year costs and related with the base year’s cost.
Calculate the ending inventory in units:
Particulars | Product X | Product Y | Product Z |
Beginning inventory | 30,000 | 10,000 | 25,000 |
Add: Net Purchases | 110,000 | 100,000 | 75,000 |
Units available for sale | 140,000 | 110,000 | 100,000 |
Less: Sales | (90,000) | (85,000) | (70,000) |
Ending inventory | 50,000 | 25,000 | 30,000 |
Table (1)
Calculate the cost index:
Calculate the ending inventory at the Base year cost:
Calculate the increase in inventory at the Base year cost:
Calculate the layer increase in inventory at the Current year cost:
Calculate the LIFO ending inventory cost:
Thus, the ending inventory for LIFO cost if single inventory pool is used is $374,033.
2.
Calculate the ending inventory for LIFO cost if three inventory pools are used.
2.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the cost index for Product X:
Calculate the ending inventory at the Base year cost for Product X:
Calculate the increase in inventory at the Base year cost for Product X:
Calculate the layer increase in inventory at the Current year cost for Product X:
Calculate the LIFO ending inventory cost for Product X:
Thus, the ending inventory for LIFO cost for Product X if three inventory pools are used is $222,500.
Calculate the cost index for Product Y:
Calculate the ending inventory at the Base year cost for Product Y:
Calculate the increase in inventory at the Base year cost for Product Y:
Calculate the layer increase in inventory at the Current year cost for Product Y:
Calculate the LIFO ending inventory cost for Product Y:
Thus, the ending inventory for LIFO cost for Product Y if three inventory pools are used is $91,252.
Calculate the cost index for Product Z:
Calculate the ending inventory at the Base year cost for Product Z:
Calculate the increase in inventory at the Base year cost for Product Z:
Calculate the layer increase in inventory at the Current year cost for Product Z:
Calculate the LIFO ending inventory cost for Product Z:
Thus, the ending inventory for LIFO cost for Product Z if three inventory pools are used is $60,500.
Calculate the LIFO ending inventory cost:
Thus, the ending inventory for LIFO cost if three inventory pools are used is $374,252.

- Webster Company adopted do liar-value LIFO on January 1, 2019. Webster produces three products: X, Y, and Z. Websters beginning inventory consisted of the following: During 2019, Webster had the following purchases and sales: Required: 1. Compute the LIFO cost of the ending inventory assuming Webster uses a single inventory pool. Round cost index to 4 decimal places. 2. Compute the LIFO cost of the ending inventory assuming Webster uses three inventory pools. Round cost indexes to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardLIFO and Inventory Pools On January 1, 2016, Grover Company changed its inventory cost flow method to the LIFO cost method from the FIFO cost method for its raw materials inventory. It made the change for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. Grover uses the multiple-pools approach under which it groups substantially identical raw materials into LIFO inventory pools. It uses weighted average costs in valuing annual incremental layers. The composition of the December 31, 2018, inventory for the Class F inventory pool is as follows: Inventory transactions for the Class F inventory pool during 2019 were as follows: On March 2, 2019, 4,800 units were purchased at a unit cost of 13.50 for 64,800. On September 1, 2019, 7,200 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.00 for 100,800. A total of 15,000 units were used for production during 2019. The following transactions for the Class F inventory pool took place during 2020: On January 11, 2020, 7,500 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.50 for 108,750. On May 14, 2020, 5,500 units were purchased at a unit cost of 15.50 for 85,250. On December 29, 2020, 7,000 units were purchased at a unit cost of 16.00 for 112,000. A total of 16,000 units were used for production during 2020. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule to compute the inventory (units and dollar amounts) of the Class F inventory pool at December 31, 2019. Show supporting computations in good form. 2. Prepare a schedule to compute the cost of Class F raw materials used in production for the year ended December 31, 2019. 3. Prepare a schedule to compute the inventory (units and dollar amounts) of the Class F inventory pool at December 31, 2020. Show supporting computations in good form.arrow_forwardDollar-Value LIFO Kwestel Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method for inventory valuation at the beginning of 2015. The following information about the inventory at the end of each year is available from Kwestels records: Required: Calculate the dollar-value LIFO inventory at the end of each year. Round to the nearest dollar.arrow_forward
- Inventory Pools Stone Shoe Company adopted dollar-value LIFO on January 1, 2019. The company produces four products and uses a single inventory pool. The companys beginning inventory consists of the following: During 2019, the company has the following purchases and sales: Required: 1. Compute the dollar-value LIFO cost of the ending inventory.
