TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS
Problem 8-1 (Time 30–40 minutes)
Problem 8-2 (Time 25–35 minutes)
Problem 8-3 (Time 20–25 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to prepare general journal entries to record pur–
chases on a gross and net basis.
Problem 8-4 (Time 40–55 minutes)
Purpose—to provide a problem where the student must compute the inventory using a FIFO, LIFO, and
Problem 8-5 (Time 40–55 minutes)
Purpose—to provide a problem where the student must compute the inventory using a FIFO, LIFO, and
Problem 8-6 (Time 25–35 minutes)
Purpose—to provide a problem where the student must compute cost of goods sold using FIFO, LIFO,
and weighted average, under both a periodic and perpetual system.
Problem 8-7 (Time 30–40 minutes)
Purpose—to provide a problem where the student must identify the accounts that would be affected if
LIFO had been used rather than FIFO for purposes of computing inventories.
Problem 8-8 (Time 30–40 minutes)
Problem 8-9 (Time 25–35 minutes)
Problem 8-10 (Time 30–35 minutes)
Problem 8-11 (Time 40–50 minutes)
Purpose—to provide the student with an opportunity to write a memo on how a dollar-value LIFO
pool works. In addition, the student must explain the step-by-step procedure used to compute dollar
value LIFO.
PROBLEM 8-1
1. $175,000 – ($175,000 X .20) = $140,000;
$140,000 – ($140,000 X .10) = $126,000, cost of goods purchased
3. Because no date was associated with the units issued or sold, the
periodic (rather than perpetual) inventory method must be assumed.

1. The $31,000 of tools on the loading dock were properly included in the
physical count. The sale should not be recorded until the goods are
picked up by the common carrier. Therefore, no adjustment is made to
inventory, but sales must be reduced by the $40,000 billing price.
