P7-5 Evaluating the LIFO and FIFO Choice When Costs Are Rising and Falling LO7-2, 7-3

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Income is to be evaluated under four different situations as follows:

a. Prices are rising:

(1) Situation A: FIFO is used.

(2) Situation B: LIFO is used.

b. Prices are falling:

(1) Situation C: FIFO is used.

(2) Situation D: LIFO is used.

The basic data common to all four situations are: sales, 501 units for $20,040; beginning inventory, 288 units; purchases, 387 units; ending inventory, 174 units; and operating expenses, $3,800. The income tax rate is 35%.

P7-5 Part 1 Required 1. Complete the following tabulation for each situation in Situations A and B (prices rising), assume the following: beginning inventory, 288 units at $8 = $2,304, purchases, 387 units at $9 = $3,483. In Situations C and D (prices falling), assume the opposite, that is, beginning inventory, 288 units at $9 = $2,592; purchases, 387 units at $8 = $3,096. Use periodic inventory procedures.(Round your answers to nearest dollar amount.)
