    I need help. I'm working on an assignment where the beginning and ending inventory are not given. All it says is the company uses the LIFO method and the merchandise inventory given is "Merchandise Inventory at LIFO Cost". I'm not sure how to figure out which is the beginning inventory and which is the ending inventory. Do I just use the year before the current year as the beg. inventory and the current year as ending inventory to figure out average inventory?

    So cost of goods sold would be the total cost of the goods to sale, I got that. But as far as the beginning and ending inventory amounts, is this minus the cost of goods?

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The ending inventory does not include any goods that were sold during the period. Let's take a retailer for example:Beginning Inventory + Additions to Inventory - Cost of Goods Sold = Ending InventoryHope this helps!

    • @emsaniel95
      @emsaniel95 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course the company sells. Otherwise it won't be in business. It just so happened that his goods available for sale (purchases including beginning inventory) for the year is greater than his sales for the year.
      Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold= Ending Inventory

    I have a problem here: The net income of Slim Company substantially increased from P656,250 in 2008 to P1,890,000 in year 2009. Consequently, the rate of return on current assets increased from 25% in 2008 t0 30% in 2009. Likewise, current assets turnover increased to 2.87 turnover in 2009 from 2.45 turnovers in 2008.
    Required: compute the following in year 2009
    1. average investment in current assets
    2. the cost of goods sold and operating expenses including depreciation
    Can anyone help me to solve this?

      Find the balance sheet in the annual report, then look at the balance sheet date. For example, let's say the balance sheet date is dated December 31, 2021. The inventory listed in the balance sheet would be the ending inventory as of that date (December 31, 2021). The beginning inventory would be the inventory listed for the prior balance sheet date (the inventory listed as of December 31, 2020).
