Dollar-Value LIFO Richardson Company
cans a variety of vegetable-type soups. Recently, the company decided to
value its inventories using dollar-value LIFO pools. The clerk who
accounts for inventories does not understand how to value the inventory
pools using this new method, so, as a private consultant, you have been
asked to teach him how this new method works. He has provided you with
the following information about purchases made over a 6-year period. You
have already explained to him how this inventory method is maintained,
but he would feel better about it if you were to leave him detailed
instructions explaining how these calculations are done and why he needs
to put all inventories at a base-year value.
(a) Compute the ending inventory for Richardson Company for 2006 through 2011 using dollar-value LIFO.
(b)
Using your computation schedules as your illustration, write a
step-by-step set of instructions explaining how the calculations are
done. Begin your explanation by briefly explaining the theory behind
this inventory method, including the purpose of putting all amounts into
base-year pricelevels.
