Mannisto Incorporated uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $292,917 and average assets of $1,543,190. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $32,670 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $30,100 less then under FIFO. Required: a. Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO). b. Suppose that two years later costs and prices were falling. Under FIFO, net income and average assets were $338,157 and $1,874,860, respectively. If LIFO had been used through the years, inventory values would have been $44,160 less than under FIFO, and current year cost of goods sold would have been $24,987 less than under FIFO. Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO). Note: For all requirements, enter your answers as percentages rounded to 1 decimal place (1.e., 12.2%). Answer is complete but not entirely correct. FIFO LIFO ROI 19.06 17.2 b. ROI 18.0 % 15.90

Assume your company uses the periodic inventory costing method, and the inventory count left out an entire warehouse of goods that were in stock at the end of the year, with a cost value of $222,000. How will this affect your net income in the current year? How will it affect next years net income?
Last year, Nikkola Company had net sales of 2,299,500,000 and cost of goods sold of 1,755,000,000. Nikkola had the following balances: Refer to the information for Nikkola Company above. Required: Note: Round answers to one decimal place. 1. Calculate the average inventory. 2. Calculate the inventory turnover ratio. 3. Calculate the inventory turnover in days. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Based on these ratios, does Nikkola appear to be performing well or poorly?
When the double-extension approach to the dollar-value LIFO inventory cost flow method is used, the inventory layer added in the current year is multiplied by an index number. How would the following be used in the calculation of this index number?
Use the following hypothetical data for Walgreens in Years 11 and 12 to project revenues, cost of goods sold, and inventory for Year +1. Assume that Walgreenss Year +1 revenue growth rate, gross profit margin, and inventory turnover will be identical to Year 12. Project the average inventory balance in Year +1 and use it to compute the implied ending inventory balance.
If Barcelona Companys ending inventory was actually $122,000, but the cost of consigned goods, with a cost value of $20,000 were accidentally included with the company assets, when making the year-end inventory adjustment, what would be the impact on the presentation of the balance sheet and income statement for the year that the error occurred, if any?
A large manufacturer of truck and car tires recently changed its cost-flow assumption method for inventories at the beginning of 2014. The manufacturer has been in operation for almost 40 years, and for the last decade it has reported moderate growth in revenues. The firm changed from the LIFO method to the FIFO method and reported the following information (amounts in millions): REQUIRED Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for 2014 using the LIFO and FIFO cost-flow assumption methods. Explain why the costs assigned to inventory under LIFO at the end of 2013 and 2014 are so much less than they are under FIFO.
Hubble Space Incorporated has the following data which includes inventory conversion period or ICP of the firms against which it benchmarks. The firm's new manager is looking into the company on how he could reduce its inventory enough to reduce its ICP to the benchmarks’ average. If this were done, by how much would inventories decrease? Assume a 365-day year. Cost of goods sold =P85,000; Inventory =P20,000; Inventory conversion period (ICP) =85.88; Benchmark inventory conversion period (ICP) =38.00 *

Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $224,988 and average assets of $1,558,950. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $43,570 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $42,390 less than under FIFO. Required: a. Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO). (Enter your answers as percentages rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 12.2%).) b. Suppose that two years later costs and prices were falling. Under FIFO, net income and average assets were $268,168 and $1,893,070, respectively. If LIFO had been used through the years, inventory values would have been $41,250 less than under FIFO, and current year cost of goods sold would have been $15,419 less than under FIFO.
