老师为什么A要adjustment

NO.PZ2024011002000145

问题如下:

An analyst is analyzing two companies in the same industry and believes that they have similar strategies regarding the use of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). He also thinks that the PP&E assets of the two companies are roughly of the same age and have the same expected useful lives remaining. Company A uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation, and Company B uses the FIFO method. The following additional information is available from the companies’ financial statements ($ millions):

In the analyst’s opinion, which of the following conclusions is most appropriate? Compared with Company A, Company B:

选项:

A.is more liquid. B.has a higher quality of earnings. C.uses more aggressive accounting estimates related to PP&E.

解释:

The analyst believes the two companies’ PP&E are of the same age; however, the useful life remaining for Company B’s assets is 15 years compared with 10 for Company A, implying B is using a longer useful life or more aggressive accounting policies.

The more aggressive PP&E estimates combined with the use of FIFO indicate that Company B has a lower quality of earnings, not higher. The adjusted current ratio for Company A (adjusted to include the LIFO reserve to convert the balance sheet to FIFO for comparison) is higher than the current ratio for B, indicating that A is more liquid.

第二个不是没有inventory么,那这样岂不是比起来过于刻意?或是有我不知道得思路呢?麻烦帮我解惑解惑

同学你好,这是2024年原版书已经删除的内容,但是由于在题目中又出现了,所以需要通过题目这里补充了解一下

请看以下以往年份的基础班讲义截图——同学大致了解一下即可。本题一个公司用LIFO方法计量存货,一个用FIFO,两种计量方法是不可比的,即便B公司在FIFO下没有存货,也不代表A公司的LIFO方法不需要调整。

所以通过LIFO reserve(以下讲义截图黄色公式),我们可以把A公司的LIFO下的存货调整为FIFO下的存货,从而使两个公司具有更好的可比性。本题A公司相当于把这个LIFO reserve的金额加上现有的current assets,就可以得到包含了FIFO下inventory实际值的调整后的current assets了
