FIFO method will produce highest net income in the period of rising price.
FIFO assigns the cost of inventory to the oldest goods purchased first. if prices are rising, the older prices are lower, which result in lower cost of goods sold and a higher net income.
In a period of rising prices, which cost flow assumption would produce the highest net income?...
Effect of inventory cost flow assumption on financial statements Required For each of the following situations, indicate whether FIFO, LIFO, or weighted average applies: a. In a period of falling prices, net income would be highest. b. In a period of falling prices, the unit cost of goods would be the same for ending inventory and cost of goods sold. c. In a period of rising prices, net income would be highest. d. In a period of rising prices, cost...
If you were attempting to maximize your net income, which inventory cost flow assumption would you choose? Why? What conditions must exist for this method to produce the highest net income? When perpetual inventory records are kept, the results under the FIFO and LIFO methods are the same as they would be in a periodic inventory system.” Do you agree? Explain.
Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $1,500,000 and average assets of $10,000,000. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $300,000 more than under FIFO , and its average assets would have been $300,000 less than under FIFO.
