The inventory method that will always produce the same amount for the cost of goods sold in a periodic inventory system as in a perpetual inventory system would be:
-
FIFO
-
LIFO
-
Weighted Average
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. FIFOExplanation
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) is the inventory method that will always produce the same amount for the cost of goods sold in a periodic inventory system as in a perpetual inventory system. This is because FIFO assumes that the first items purchased are the first ones sold, regardless of the actual order of sales. In both periodic and perpetual systems, the cost of goods sold is calculated by multiplying the cost of the oldest inventory items by the quantity sold. Therefore, FIFO will yield the same result in both inventory systems.Rate this question:

The use of LIFO in accounting for a firm's inventory:
-
Usually matches the physical flow of goods through the business
-
Is usually used for internal mgmt purposes
-
Usually provides a better match of expenses with revenues
-
None of these is correct
Correct Answer
A. Usually provides a better match of expenses with revenuesExplanation
The use of LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) in accounting for a firm's inventory usually provides a better match of expenses with revenues. This is because under the LIFO method, the most recent or last inventory purchases are assumed to be sold first. As a result, the cost of goods sold reflects the current or recent costs, which better aligns with the revenues generated from the sale of those goods. This helps in accurately matching the expenses incurred in producing the goods with the corresponding revenues earned from their sale.Rate this question:

The primary reason for the popularity of LIFO is that it:
-
Simplifies record keeping
-
Saves income taxes currently
-
Provides better matching of physical flow and cost flow
-
Provides a permanent reduction of income taxes
Correct Answer
A. Saves income taxes currentlyExplanation
The popularity of LIFO is primarily due to its ability to save income taxes currently. LIFO, or Last-In, First-Out, assumes that the most recently acquired inventory is sold first. This results in higher costs being matched with current revenues, which reduces taxable income and ultimately lowers the amount of income tax owed. This tax-saving advantage makes LIFO an attractive choice for businesses, especially those with fluctuating inventory costs.Rate this question:

In a periodic inventory system, the cost of inventories sold is:
-
Not recorded at the time of sale
-
Debited to cost of goods sold
-
Debited to accounts receivable
-
Credited to cost of goods sold
Correct Answer
A. Not recorded at the time of saleExplanation
In a periodic inventory system, the cost of inventories sold is not recorded at the time of sale. This is because in a periodic inventory system, the cost of goods sold is determined at the end of the accounting period through a physical count of inventory. Therefore, the cost of inventories sold is not immediately debited to any specific account at the time of sale. Instead, it is recorded later when the physical count is conducted and the cost of goods sold is calculated.Rate this question:

In a perpetual inventory system, the cost of inventory sold is
-
Credit to Cost of Goods Sold
-
Debited to Accounts Receivable
-
Debited to Cost of Goods Sold
-
Not recorded at the time
Correct Answer
A. Debited to Cost of Goods SoldExplanation
In a perpetual inventory system, the cost of inventory sold is debited to the Cost of Goods Sold account. This means that the cost of the goods that were sold is recorded as an expense in the accounting records. By debiting the Cost of Goods Sold account, the company is able to accurately track the cost of the goods that were sold and calculate its gross profit. This information is important for financial reporting and decision-making purposes.Rate this question:

When reported in financial statements, a LIFO allowance account usually:
-
Indicates the effect on insome if LIFO were not used
-
Is shown in the firm's income statement
-
Is added to LIFO cost to indicate what the inventory would cost on a FIFO bases
-
Shows the current rate of inflation for tha asset
Correct Answer
A. Is added to LIFO cost to indicate what the inventory would cost on a FIFO basesExplanation
The LIFO allowance account is used to adjust the LIFO (last-in, first-out) cost of inventory to reflect what it would cost on a FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis. This adjustment is necessary because LIFO assumes that the most recently acquired inventory is sold first, which can result in a lower cost of goods sold and higher ending inventory. By adding the LIFO allowance to the LIFO cost, the financial statements can show what the inventory would have cost if it was sold on a FIFO basis, providing a more accurate representation of the company's financial position.Rate this question:

If a company uses LIFO, a LIFO liquidation is problematic for a company's income taxes:
-
Whether inventory purchase costs are declining or rising
-
LIFO liquidations are not problematic for a company's income taxes
-
When inventory purchase costs are rising
-
When inventory purchase costs are declining
Correct Answer
A. When inventory purchase costs are risingExplanation
When inventory purchase costs are rising, a LIFO liquidation becomes problematic for a company's income taxes. This is because LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) assumes that the most recently purchased inventory is sold first. In a rising cost environment, this means that older, lower-cost inventory is being sold, resulting in higher profits and higher taxable income. However, if a LIFO liquidation occurs, it means that the company is selling its older inventory that was purchased at lower costs. This leads to a reduction in the cost of goods sold and artificially inflates the profits, resulting in higher taxable income and potentially higher taxes for the company.Rate this question:

Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2009 and 2008: The average days inventory for ATC for 2009 is:
-
151 days
-
Less than 100 days
-
114 days
-
132 days
Correct Answer
A. 132 daysExplanation
The average days inventory for ATC in 2009 is 132 days. This means that, on average, it takes ATC 132 days to sell its inventory. This is an important metric for businesses as it indicates the efficiency of their inventory management. A lower number of days indicates that the company is able to sell its inventory quickly, while a higher number suggests that it takes longer for the company to sell its products. In this case, 132 days falls within a reasonable range and suggests that ATC is able to effectively manage its inventory.Rate this question:
