Macrovision.com managers can purchase a large amount of inventory before year
end. Under LIFO, these high inventory costs go directly to cost of goods sold in the
current year. Higher cost of goods sold creates lower net income, and lower net
income results in lower income taxes. Saving on taxes is one reason companies
want to decrease their income.

SUBJECT:
Proposal for Increasing Net Income
We can increase net income by not buying below-normal quantities of inventory as

we make sales. Inventory costs are rising, and the company uses the LIFO inventory
method. Under LIFO, the high cost of our inventory purchases goes straight into
cost of goods sold. By decreasing our purchases of inventory, we can keep those
high costs out of cost of goods sold this year. That will keep net income from going
lower and will help net income be as high as possible. Also, our inventory quantities
are above normal, so we dont need to buy a lot of inventory before year end.
