1. A company uses the FIFO inventory method and reports the following data for 2004:
Beginning Inventory $75,000
Purchases during 2004 300,000
Ending Inventory 100,000
Income before income taxes 80,000
Tax Rate 40%
If the company had used LIFO ending inventory would have been valued at 85,000 dollars
a. Compute the tax liability using FIFO
The income before taxes is given as $80,000 and the tax rate is 40%. The income tax liability would be 40% of the income before tax which comes to 32,000
b. Compute the tax liability if the company had used the LIFO inventory method.
Under LIFO, the closing inventory is given as 85,000. The cost of goods sold (COGS) is calculated as opening inventory + purchases-closing inventory. In FIFO method the closing inventory is 100,000 and the income before tax is 80,000. If the ending inventory becomes 85,000, then the cost of goods sold value would rise by 15,000. As you can see under FIFO COGS is 75,000+300,000-100,000 = 275,000 and under LIFO it would be 75,000+300,000-85,000=290,000. If the COGS rises by 15,000 the income before tax would reduce by 15,000 since COGS is an expense item. Under LIFO the income before tax would become 80,000-15,000=65,000 and the tax liability would be 40% of this = $26,000.
