PROBLEM 8.11 (Continued)
(b)
To: Richardson Company
From: Accounting Student
Subject: Dollar-Value LIFO Pool Accounting
Dollar-value LIFO is an inventory method which values groups or “pools”
of inventory in layers of costs. It assumes that any goods sold during a
However, inflation distorts any cost of purchases made in subsequent years.
To counteract the effect of inflation, this method measures the incremental
change in each year’s ending inventory in terms of the first year’s (base
year’s) costs. This is done by adjusting subsequent cost layers, through
the use of a price index, to the base year’s inventory costs. Only after this
adjustment can the new layer be valued at current-year prices.
PROBLEM 8.11 (Continued)
1. Refer to Schedule A. To express each year’s ending inventory (Column A)
in terms of base-year costs, simply divide the ending inventory by the
2. Next, compute the difference between the previous and the current
3. Finally, express this increment in current-year terms. For the second
year, this computation is straightforward: the base-year ending inven-
tory value is added to the difference in #2 above multiplied by the price
When valuing ending inventory, remember to include each yearly layer
adjusted by that year’s price index. Refer to Schedule B for 2019. Notice that
the +$9,000 change from the 2019 ending inventory indicates that the 2017
layer was not further eroded. Thus, ending inventory for 2019 would value
the first $80,000 worth of inventory at the base-year price index (1.00), the
next $10,000 (the remainder of the 2017 layer) at the 2017 price index (1.05),
and the last $9,000 at the 2019 price index (1.30).
