Q: What is the impact of using LIFO on the balance sheet during a period of rising prices?
Solution:
LIFO results in lower ending inventory values, leading to lower current assets on the balance sheet.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what LIFO means. LIFO stands for 'Last In, First Out'. This means that the most recently purchased items are sold first.
Step 2: Recognize that during rising prices, the cost of new inventory is higher than older inventory.
Step 3: When using LIFO, the higher costs of the new inventory are used to calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS).
Step 4: Because COGS is higher, the remaining inventory on the balance sheet is valued at the older, lower costs.
Step 5: This results in lower ending inventory values on the balance sheet.
Step 6: Lower ending inventory values mean lower current assets on the balance sheet.
