Question 3
Company XYZ switched from LIFO inventory to FIFO during the year. The pretax income data under each method is the following:
1) FIFO: $210,000 in 2020; $135,000 in 2019; $142,500 in 2018
2) LIFO: $189,000 in 2020; $111,500 in 2019; $138,000 in 2018
What net income amount did the company report in 2018? 2020? Assume a tax rate of 30%. Prepare the comparative income statements for the company in 2020.
Answer
Tax rate is 30%
1 Net income report under FIFO
In 2018 = 142,500 - 30% = $99,750
In 2020 = 210,000 - 30% = $147,000
Net income report under LIFO
In 2018 = 138,000 - 30% = $96,600
In 2020 = 189,000 - 30% = $132,300
2 LIFO is taken as base in comparitive income statement in 2020.
Comparitive income statement in 2020
LIFO | FIFO | Amount change | 0percentage | |
Pretax income | 189,000 | 210,000 | 21,000 | 11.11% |
Tax expense | 56,700 | 63,000 | 6,300 | 11.11% |
Net income | 132,300 | 147,000 | 14,700 | 11.11% |
Calculations
AMOUNT CHANGE
In pretax income = 210,000 - 189,000 = $21,000
In tax expense = 63,000 - 56,700 = $6,300
In net income = 147,000 - 132,300 = $14,700
Percentage change
In pretax income = (21,000 / 189,000) × 100 = 11.11%
In tax expenses = (6,300 / 56,700) × 100 = 11.11%
In Net income = (14,700 / 132,300) × 100 = 11.11%.
The percentage change in pretax income, tax expense and net income is same as 11.11%
