Richardson Company cans a variety of vegetable-type soups. Recently, the company decided to value its inventories using dollar-value LIFO pools. The clerk who accounts for inventories does not understand how to value the inventory pools using this new method, so, as a private consultant, you have been asked to teach him how this new method works. He has provided you with the following information about purchases made over a 6-year period. Ending Inventory
Date (End-of-Year Prices) Price Index
Dec, 31,2010 $80,000 100
Dec. 31, 2011 111,300 105
Dec. 31, 2012 108,000 120
Dec. 31, 2013 128,700 130
Dec. 31, 2014 147,000 140
Dec. 31, 2015 174,000 145
You have already explained to him how this inventory method is maintained, but he would feel better about it if you were to leave him detailed instructions explaining how these calculations are done and why he needs to put all inventories at a base-year value.
Instructions:
A. Compute the ending inventory for Richardson Company for 2010 through 2015 using dollar -value LIFO.
B. Using your computation schedules as your illustration, write a step-by-step set of instructions explaining how the calculations are done. Begin your explanation by briefly explaining the theory behind this inventory method, including the purpose of putting all amounts into base - period levels.
