不太理解

NO.PZ2019120301000187

问题如下:

Question A company using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory method reports a year-end LIFO reserve of $85,000, which is $20,000 lower than the prior year. If the company had used first-in, first-out (FIFO) instead of LIFO in that year, its financial statements would most likely have reported:

选项:

A.a higher cost of goods sold (COGS) but a lower inventory balance. B.both a higher cost of goods sold (COGS) and a higher inventory balance. C.a lower cost of goods sold (COGS) but a higher inventory balance.

解释:

Solution

B is correct.


A is incorrect. As per the table, inventory would be higher.

C is incorrect. As per the table, COGS would be higher.

用逻辑推断,FIFO先进先出使得COGS增加那肯定是以前的存货比现在贵才能使得COGS增加啊,那以前的存货出掉了,留下来的是现在的存货,肯定便宜啊,怎么可能同增同减?

同学你好,相较前一年,物价只要保持不变,如果这一年公司大量购入更多货物,同时也卖出更多货物,卖出的略少于买入的,那就可能使COGS和inventory balance同时都增加啊

本题考察的就是老师上课给的一系列公式的应用而已

B/S表下,FIFO下的inventory = LIFO的inventory+LIFO reserve,本年LIFO reserve=85000依然是正数,所以FIFO下inventory本年肯定更高

FIFO下COGS= LIFO下COGS-ΔLIFO reserve,因为本年ΔLIFO reserve=-20000小于0,减去负数等于加上正数,所以本年FIFO下COGS也更大
