a. Both IFRS and U.S. GAAP provide broad and similar guidance on the
accounting for items and costs making up merchandise inventory.
b. Yes, companies reporting under IFRS can apply cost flow assumptions
in assigning costs to inventory. FIFO and weighted average are two
IFRS. (LIFO is not presently acceptable under IFRS.)
c. U.S. GAAP prohibits any later increase in the recorded value of
inventory that had been written down even if that decline in value is

1. a. LIFO ratio computations
LIFO current ratio (2015) = $220/$200 = 1.1
b. FIFO ratio computations
FIFO current ratio (2015) = $300*/$200 = 1.5
2. The use of LIFO versus FIFO for Cruz markedly impacts the ratios computed.
Specifically, LIFO makes Cruz appear worse in comparison to FIFO numbers
