CP 7–2
In developing a response to Paula’s concerns, you should probably first emphasize
the practical need for an assumption concerning the flow of cost of goods purchased
and sold. That is, when identical goods are frequently purchased, it may not be
practical to specifically identify each item of inventory. If all the identical goods were
purchased at the same price, it wouldn’t make any difference for financial reporting
purposes which goods we assumed were sold first, second, etc. However, in most

3. a. The LIFO method is often viewed as the best basis for reflecting income
from operations. This is because the LIFO method matches the most current
cost of merchandise purchases against current sales. The matching of
current costs with current sales results in a gross profit amount that many
consider to best reflect the results of current operations. For Golden Eagle
Company, the gross profit of $3,025,600 reflects the matching of the most
CHAPTER 7 Inventories

While the LIFO method is often viewed as the best method for matching
revenues and expenses, the FIFO method is often consistent with the
physical movement of merchandise in a business because most businesses
tend to dispose of commodities in the order of their acquisition. To the extent
that this is the case, the FIFO method approximates the results that will be
b. The FIFO method provides the best reflection of the replacement cost of the
ending inventory for the balance sheet. This is because the amount reported
on the balance sheet for merchandise inventory will be assigned costs from
the most recent purchases. For most businesses, these costs will reflect
c. During periods of rising prices, such as shown for Golden Eagle Company, the
LIFO method will result in a lesser amount of net income than the other two

d. The advantages of the perpetual inventory system include the following:
(1) A perpetual inventory system provides an effective means of control
over inventory. A comparison of the amount of inventory on hand with
(2) A perpetual inventory system provides an accurate method for
(3) A perpetual inventory system provides an aid for maintaining inventories
at optimum levels. Frequent review of the perpetual inventory records
helps management in the timely reordering of merchandise so that loss of
sales and excessive accumulation of inventory are avoided. An analysis of

July 40,000 24,000 16,000 68,000 28,000
It appears that during April through July, the company ordered inventory
without regard to the accumulation of excess inventory. A perpetual
inventory system might have prevented this excess accumulation from
occurring.

c. Both the inventory turnover ratio and the number of day’s sales in inventory
reflect the merchandising approaches of the three companies.
Costco is a club warehouse. Its approach is to hold only mass appeal items that
are sold quickly off the shelf. Most items are sold in bulk quantities at very
attractive prices. Costco couples thin margins with very fast inventory turnover.
