31. Inflation and inventory accounting effect (LO5) The Canton Corporation shows the
following income statement. The firm uses FIFO inventory accounting.
CANTON CORPORATION
Income Statement for 2010
Sales .................................................................. $100,000 (10,000 units at $10)
Cost of goods sold ............................................. 50,000 (10,000 units at $5)
Gross profit ....................................................... 50,000
Selling and administrative expense .................... 5,000
Depreciation ...................................................... 10,000
Operating profit ................................................. 35,000
Taxes (30%) ...................................................... 10,500
Aftertax income ................................................. $ 24,500
a. Assume in 2011 the same 10,000-unit volume is maintained, but that the sales price
increases by 10 percent. Because of FIFO inventory policy, old inventory will still be
charged off at $5 per unit. Also assume selling and administrative expense will be 5
percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent.
Compute aftertax income for 2011.
b. In part a, by what percent did aftertax income increase as a result of a 10 percent
increase in the sales price? Explain why this impact took place.
c. Now assume that in 2012 the volume remains constant at 10,000 units, but the sales
price decreases by 15 percent from its year 2011 level. Also, because of FIFO
inventory policy, cost of goods sold reflects the inflationary conditions of the prior
year and is $5.50 per unit. Further, assume selling and administrative expense will be
5 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent.
Compute the aftertax income.
3-31. Solution:
Canton Corporation
a. 2011
Sales ................................ $110,000 (10,000 units at $11)

b. Gain in aftertax income
2011 $31,150
2010 24,500
Increase $6,650
Increase $6,650 27.14%
Base value (2010) $24,500
==
Aftertax income increased much more than sales because of
FIFO inventory policy (in this case, the cost of old inventory
did not go up at all), and because of historical cost
depreciation (which did not change).
c. 2012
Sales ................................ $93,500 (10,000 units at $9.35*)
Cost of goods sold ........... 55,000 (10,000 units at $5.50)
The low profits indicate the effect of inflation followed by
disinflation.
