Answer 1

Answer:

reported as income for all three years   is $7,000

Explanation:

given data

cost of the ending inventory = $181,000

market value  inventory =  $160,000

to find out

Shondee Corporation must add income

solution

we get here Income per year that is

Income per year = (Value under FIFO Method - Value Under Cost Method ) ÷ Number of year      ..............................1

put here value we get

Income per year = $\frac{181000 - 160000}{3}$

Income per year =   $\frac{21000}{3}$

Income per year =  $7000

so reported as income for all three years   is $7,000
