2. Each of the following would generally be thought of as a favorable indicator of the firm's financial po-
sition:

a. A current ratio well above 2.0, which is substantially higher than that for other firms in the
industry.
b. Collection period significantly lower than for several recent periods.
c. Rapidly rising merchandise inventory turnover.

Required:
In each case, give an example of circumstances underlying the ratio that might represent an unfavor-
able development.

ANS:
a. A high current ratio can mean overstocked inventory or doubtful receivables. Either of
these accounts being high could cause the current ratio to be misleading.

b. The firm may have substantially tightened its credit policy. This might have resulted in a
major loss of customers.

c. Rapidly rising turnover might mean that production is unable to generate goods as quickly
as possible and that the firm is running a risk of stockouts.

3. Required:
How will switching from FIFO to LIFO for inventory valuation affect financial analysis of liquidity
and profitability? Cite two ratios that will be affected and indicate how they will change. (Assume an
inflationary condition.)

ANS:
LIFO inventory valuation results in higher cost of sales and lower inventory valuation.

It will cause lower profitability and tax outflow. Merchandise inventory turnover will appear much
higher, since the cost of sales will be higher and average inventory much lower. Days' sales in invent-
ory will be lower, since the cost of sales will be higher, giving higher daily cost of sales to divide into
lower inventory. The liquidity position will be reduced in terms of working capital and the current ra-
tio.

Comment on the usual influence from a switch to LIFO from FIFO on the following variables during
an inflationary period:
a. revenue
b. gross profit
c. cost of goods sold
d. profit
e. income taxes

ANS:
a. A switch to lifo will usually not influence revenue because revenue is usually more de-
mand/supply-related than cost-related.

b. Gross profit will usually decline because of higher cost of goods sold.

c. Cost of goods sold will increase because of using the most recent cost.

d. Profits will decrease because of the higher cost of goods sold.

 e. Income taxes will decrease because of the lower profit.

f. Cash flow will increase because of the lower taxes.

11. The following are the inventory records of the Garret Company:

Units Cost Total

January 1 40 $12 $ 480
Purchases:
February 10 20 13 260
July 15 40 14 560
November 1 50 15 750
December 10 30 16 480
Available 180 $2,530

Ending inventory consists of 30 units from the July purchase.

Note: The company uses a periodic inventory system.

Required:
Calculate ending inventory and cost of sales, using: (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) average, and (d) specific
identification.

ANS:
a. FIFO
Ending Inventory Cost of Sales
30 × $16 = $480 $2,530 − $480 = $2,050

b. LIFO
Ending Inventory Cost of Sales
30 × $12 = $360 $2,530 − $360 = $2,170

c. Average
Ending Inventory Cost of Sales
180 ÷ $2,530 = $14.06
30 × $14.06 = $421.80 $2,530 − $421.80 = $2,108.20

d. Specific identification
Ending Inventory Cost of Sales
30 × $14 = $420 $2,530 − $420 = $2,110
