LO 3 EXERCISE 5-7 SHIPPING TERMS AND TRANSFER OF TITLE
1. The seller pays shipping costs when merchandise is shipped FOB destination point.
2. The inventory should not be included as an asset on Michael’s December 31, 2016,
balance sheet because the terms of shipment indicate that the merchandise does
3. If the terms of shipment were FOB shipping point, the answers to both questions in
part (2) above would change. Under these terms, the inventory belongs to Michael
as soon as it is shipped, and because this is on December 23, 2016, the asset
should be recognized on the year-end balance sheet. Similarly, Miller would record a
sale in 2016.

LO 6,7 EXERCISE 5-24 INVENTORY COSTING METHODS—PERIODIC SYSTEM
1. a. Weighted average method:
Cost of goods available for sale and units available:
200 × $10 = $ 2,000
300 × $11 = 3,300
400 × $12 = 4,800
b. FIFO method:
Ending inventory cost:
150 × $15 = $2,250
150 × $13 = 1,950
300 $4,200
c. LIFO method:
Ending inventory cost:
200 × $10 = $2,000
100 × $11 = 1,100
300 $3,100
CHAPTER 5 • INVENTORIES AND COST OF GOODS SOLD 5-17

2. LIFO cost of goods sold .......................................... $12,500
FIFO cost of goods sold .......................................... 11,400
Difference in expenses ........................................... $ 1,100
3. If Carter Inc. prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS, it is not
allowed to use LIFO. Under IFRS, LIFO cannot be used; so the weighted average
method will result in the largest cost of goods sold, the lowest income, and conse-
quently the lowest income tax for Carter.
LO 5,9 EXERCISE 5-25 LOWER-OF-COST-OR-MARKET RULE
Conservatism is the rationale for carrying inventory on the balance sheet at an amount
less than its cost. It is a departure from the historical cost principle and is used when the
utility of the inventory, as measured by the cost to replace it, is less than the original
cost.
LO 3,11 EXERCISE 5-26 WORKING BACKWARD: COST OF GOODS SOLD AND THE
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Because the change in the Inventory account during the period of $6,000 was added on
the statement of cash flows, the inventory decreased during the period by this amount.
