Taylor Corporation reports inventory and cost of goods sold
based on calculations from a LIFO periodic inventory system. The
company’s records under this system reveal the following inventory
layers at the beginning of 2021 (listed in chronological order of
acquisition):
15,000 units @ $10 | $ | 150,000 | |||||
20,000 units @ $15 | 300,000 | ||||||
Beginning inventory | $ | 450,000 | |||||
During 2021, 40,000 units were purchased for $20 per unit. Due to
unexpected demand for the company's product, 2021 sales totaled
49,000 units at various prices, leaving 26,000 units in ending
inventory.
Required:
1. Calculate the amount to report for cost of
goods sold for 2021.
2. Determine the amount of LIFO liquidation profit
that the company must report in a disclosure note to its 2021
financial statements. Assume an income tax rate of 25%.
3. If the company decided to purchase an
additional 9,000 units at $20 per unit at the end of the year, how
much income tax currently payable would be saved?
