Answer:

a. In a situation where prices are declining, companies using LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.

Explanation:

The last in first out method (LIFO) generally results in less net income because Cost of Goods Sold is greater. The reason is that normally prices increase with time due to inflation.

However, the opposite is true when prices are falling, LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.

<u>The reason is the last items are assumed to be sold first, hence the figure of cost of goods sold will be smaller since the costs are smaller compared to the stock bought previously which are more expensive. </u>

snow_lady [41]

Explanation:

The computation of the future value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

In the first case,

Future value = $2,050 × (1 + 0.12)^12

                     = $2,050 × 3.895975993

                     = $7,986.75

In the second case,

Future value = $8,352 × (1 + 0.10)^6

                     = $8,352 × 1.771561

                     = $14,796.08

In the third case,

Future value =  $72,355× (1 + 0.11)^13

                     = $72,355 × 3.883280163

                     = $280,974.74

In the fourth case,

Future value = $179,796 × (1 + 0.07)^7

                     = $179,796 × 1.605781476

                     = $288,713.09

E                 3             80       $25.00           $24.60             $1,968

total                                                                                        $4,213

when you are using the lower of cost or net realizable value to determine the value of your inventory, you should calculate the inventory's value using the lowest cost between purchase cost and market value.
