Question

In January, Stitch, Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,000. During the year, inventory increased $30,000 using base-year prices, and prices increased 10%. The designated market value of Stitch's inventory exceeded its cost at year-end. What amount of inventory should Stitch report in its year-end balance sheet?
A. $80,000
B. $83,000
C. $85,000
D. $88,000

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $83,000

Explanation:

Inventory value at adoption = $50,000

Increase in inventory using base year price = $30,000

Current year Price increase = 10%

Increase price = $30,000 + ( $30,000 x 10% )

Increased price inventory = $30,000 + $3,000

Increased price inventory = $33,000

Amount of Inventory reported on balance = Inventory value at adoption + Increase price Inventory

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $50,000 + $33,000

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $83,000
