FIFO and LIFO—Periodic Tom Brady Shop
began operations on January 2, 2010. The following stock record card
for footballs was taken from the records at the end of the year. A
physical inventory on December 31, 2010, reveals that 110 footballs were
in stock. The bookkeeper informs you that all the discounts were taken.
Assume that Tom Brady Shop uses the invoice price less discount for
recording purchases.
(a) Compute the December 31, 2010, inventory using the FIFO method.
(b) Compute the 2010 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
(c) What method would you recommend to the owner to minimize income taxes in 2010, using the inventory information for footballs as aguide?
