Bethany Corp. uses a periodic inventory system. Cost of beginning inventory is $150,000. During the year, Bethany purchases inventory costing $250,000. Based on a physical count at the end of the period, Bethany determines that inventory costing $25,000 is still on hand. Bethany Corporation's cost of goods sold will be

$375,000. Reason: $150,000 + $250,000 - $25,000 = $375,000

Smith Company adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, when it had an inventory of $690,000. Its inventory as of December 31, of the same year was $758,100 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.05. What was DVL inventory on December 31?

$723,600 Reason: $758,100/1.05 = $722,000 giving 2 layers of $690,000 and $32,000. $690,000 x 1.0 = $690,000 $32,000 x 1.05 = $33,600 $690,000 + $33,600 = $723,600

Western Company adopted dollar-value LIFO (DVL) as of January 1, when it had an inventory of $715,000. Its inventory as of December 31, of the same year was $815,400 at year-end costs and the cost index was 1.08. What was DVL inventory on December 31?

$758,200 Reason: $815,400/1.08 = $755,000 giving 2 layers of $715,000 and $40,000. $715,000 x 1.0 = $715,000 $40,000 x 1.08 = $43,200 $715,000 + $43,200 = $758,200
