The Hazim Company is a wholesale distributor of automotive replacement parts. For purposes of

this question, assume on January 1, year 3, Hazim Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of

determining inventory costs for financial and income-tax reporting. The following information relates

to this change:

Hazim has continued  to use the FIFO method for internal reporting purposes. Hazim's FIFO

inventories at December 31, Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5, were $100,000, $137,500, and $195,000,

respectively.

The FIFO inventory amounts are converted to dollar-value LIFO amounts using a single inventory

pool and annual cost indexes. Hazim uses the annual indexes developed by its industry trade

association: 1.25 for year 4 and 1.50 for year 5.

Calculate Hazim's dollar-value LIFO inventory at December 31, Year 4 and Year 5. Show all

Dealer Financing On 1/1/X1, Tractor Co. sold a new combine to Jim’s U-Pick farm. The purchase agreement establishes a base price of $100,000, plus a contractual interest rate of 5%, payable in 48 monthly installments of $2,302.93. Control of the combine transferred to Jim when Jim signed the contract and had the combine delivered that same day. If Jim had obtained separate financing (say, a bank loan) for the purchase, his interest rate would have been 6%.

What amount of revenue should Tractor Co. record at the date of sale? What guidance should Tractor Co. apply to the subsequent measurement of its receivable?

Consider the measurement attribute used to record Tractor Co.’s revenues. How does this approach achieve the objective of this measurement attribute?

Hint: You might find it useful to use Microsoft Excel’s formula options: PMT and PV for this example. Excel walks you through how to input numbers into each formula.
