Answer :

(a)

What amount would conway report a the value of inventory under DV LIFO on its 2012 balance sheet ?

2012 Inventory (DV LIFO) = $110,000

(b).

Ending inventory at base-year-prices = $116600/1.06

= $110,000

Now we can compute the real - dollar quantity increase in inventory

= ($110,000 - $107,000)

= $3,000

The next step is to value this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at year-end-prices

= $3000*1.06

= $3,180

Beginning inventory (first layer) in terms of 100	$107,000
Increase during 2012 (Second layer) in terms of 1.06	$3180
Dollar value LIFO inventory on December 31.2012	$110,180

(c). What amount would conway report as the value of inventory under DV LIFO on its 2013 balance sheet

2013 inventory (DV LIFO)

$115,000

(d). What amount would conway report as the value of inventory under DV LIFO on its 2014 balance sheet ?

2014 Inventory (DV LIFO)

$113,000

Date	Inventory at end of year prices	Price index percentage	Inventory at base year prices	Change from prior year
31.Dec.11	$107,000	100	$107,000	0
31.Dec.12	$116,600	106	$110,000	$3,000
31.Dec.13	$128,800	112	$115,000	($1,600)
31.Dec.14	$129,950	115	$113,000	($15,800)
