Inventory at end-of-year prices of $1,300,000 (2018 – base year), $1,450,000 (2019), and $1,350,000 (2020)
The price index is 105 in 2019 and 107 in 2020
Use the dollar-value LIFO method to calculate ending inventory for 2019 and 2020.
Calculate Dollar value LIFO method ending inventory
Base year cost | Dollar value LIFO inventory | |
2019 | 1450000/1.05 = 1380952 | (1300000*1+85000) = 1385000 |
2020 | 1350000/1.07 = 1261682 | 1261682 |
