From: Keaton Grant, CAO, Bristol Co. Date: December 2, Year 5 Re: Inventory Accounting Methods Frank, I just wanted to recap the inventory accounting methods Bristol Co. is using for its December 31, Year 5, financial statements that we spoke about earlier. 1. Bristol's accounting policy is to report inventory using LIFO periodic and the lower-of- cost-or-market method applied to total inventory. 2. Purchases with cash discounts are recorded using the gross method. 3. Bristol uses the direct method of reporting losses from write-downs of inventory to market. Please see to it that our accounting records properly reflect this policy. Yours, Cost Per Unit ($) 8.20 8.25 7.90 7.50 7.70 7,000 Total 55,000 Keaton
