ABC and XYZ are identical except that ABC uses the first-in-first-out (i.e., FIFO) costflow assumption when accounting for its inventory whereas XYZ uses the last-in-firstout (i.e., LIFO) cost-flow assumption. In the schedule shown below, you are providedwith information by year about: (1) the numbers of units purchased (i.e., Units
Purchased) by each company; (2) the cost that each company paid for each unit it
purchased (i.e., Cost per Unit); (3) the number of units that each company sold (i.e., Units
Sold); and (4) the per unit sales price that each company charged its customers (i.e., Price
per Unit). You are provided with only one schedule because the two companies are
identical except for the cost-flow assumptions that they use when accounting for their
inventory.

Note that there are a lot of questions in Part 2. However, if you set up a schedule and a
general approach, it shouldn’t take you too long to answer all of them. In addition, I
suggest that you to first attempt to answer all the questions on your own. Then, meet
with other classmates and work together.
To elaborate on the above, I would start with the following schedule:
Year One
Beginning
Inventory
Plus: Purchases
Minus: Ending
Inventory
Cost of Goods sold
Revenues
Minus: Cost of
Goods Sold
Gross Profit
Year Two
Year Three
Year Four
Next, I would fill in the blanks. For example, I would calculate beginning inventory for
year one, then purchases for year one, then ending inventory, then cost of goods sold,
etc. And, I would repeat this for each year until the schedule is complete. Then, I would
answer the questions in Canvas.
When entering your numerical answers in Canvas:
•

Always enter a number, e.g., if the answer is zero, you would enter 0 (i.e.,
the number 0).
