Consider the following information.
What is the estimate of ending inventory using the dollar-value LIFO retail method?
Beginning inventory at retail (base year) $ 120,000
Ending inventory at retail $ 168,000
Beginning cost-to-retail percentage 40 %
Current-year cost-to-retail percentage 45 %
The retail price index for the year 1.12

Answer :

Answer:

$63,120

Explanation:

Beginning inventory layer at base year retail:

= Beginning inventory at retail ÷ Year end cost index

= $ 120,000 ÷ 1.00

= 120,000

Current inventory layer at base year retail:

= Ending inventory at retail ÷ Year end cost index

= $ 168,000 ÷ 1.12

= 150,000

Estimate of ending inventory:

= Base + Current

= (inventory at base year retail × Cost percentage × Year end cost index) + (inventory at base year retail × Cost percentage × Year end cost index)

= ( 120,000 × 40% × 1.00) + (30,000 × 45% × 1.12)

= $48,000 + $15,120

= $63,120
