The 2018 and 2019 ending inventory valued at year-end costs were $780,000 and $861,000, respectively. The appropriate cost indexes are 1.04 for 2018 and 1.05 for 2019. Required: Complete the below table to calculate the inventory value at the end of 2018 and 2019 using the dollar-value LIFO method. (Round "Year end cost index" to 2 decimal places. Round other final answer values to the nearest whole dollars.)
Explanation / Answer
Complete the below table to calculate the inventory value at the end of 2018 and 2019 using the dollar-value LIFO method
Year Ending inventory (at cost) Ending inventory at base year price Ending inventory at dollar value LIFO method 2018 780000 780000/1.04 = 750000 (740000*1+10000*1.04) 750400 2019 861000 861000/1.05 = 820000 (740000*1+10000*1.04+70000*1.05) 823900
