Which of the followign inventory costing methods uses the costs of the oldest purchases to calculate the value of the ending inventory?
The inventory costing method that uses the costs of the oldest purchases to calculate the value of the ending inventory is the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. Under FIFO, it is assumed that the oldest inventory items are sold first, so the ending inventory consists of the most recently purchased items. This method often results in higher ending inventory values during periods of rising prices.
Under the LIFO inventory costing method are the most recent costs are assigned to ending inventory?
No, under the LIFO (Last In, First Out) inventory costing method, the most recent costs are assigned to the cost of goods sold, not to ending inventory. This means that the older costs remain in the ending inventory. Consequently, in periods of rising prices, LIFO typically results in lower ending inventory values and higher cost of goods sold compared to FIFO (First In, First Out).
Which inventory method FIFO or LIFO would be preferred for income tax purposes in periods of rising prices?
In a period of rising prices, your most recently purchased inventory would have the highest value. Therefore, using LIFO would result in a higher Cost of Goods Sold, a lower Net Income and a lower income tax liability.
