    In January, Stitch, Inc., adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,000. During the year, inventory increased $30,000 using base-year prices, and prices increased 10%. The designated market value of Stitch’s inventory exceeded its cost at year end. What amount of inventory should Stitch report in its year-end balance sheet?

    A. $80,000

    B. $85,000

    C. $83,000

    D. $88,000

    I want to say E.

    Dividends decrease the investment while the change in fair value of the investment affects earnings which you proportion and add to the investment.

    @NJPRU

    Equity in earning of the investee is different from investment. Equity in earning is the revenue that will be received from the investment. Dividend reduce investment but does not affect your earning, change in fair value is also not used for equity method. Change in fair value is only relevant if you're using the FVO

    Answer is C

    I guess i know what I'm practicing after I'm done with my inventory brush up. Thanks stole way. Just tacked on another hour or so to my studies. πŸ˜›

    The following information is available for the Silver Company for the 3 months ended March 31 of this year:

    Merchandise inventory,

    January 1 of this year

    $ 900,000

    Purchases

    3,400,000

    Freight-in

    200,000

    Sales

    4,800,000

    The gross margin recorded was 25% of sales. What should be the merchandise inventory at March 31?

    Oh WTB, I don't know what to think.

    Maybe I'm just tired (been studying since 6am) but how is this a yes or no question?

    “CACL-0060

    On December 31, year 1, Key Co. received two $10,000 noninterest-bearing notes from customers in exchange for services rendered. The note from Alpha Co., which is due in nine months, was made under customary trade terms, but the note from Omega Co., which is due in two years, was not. The market interest rate for both notes at the date of issuance is 8%. The present value of $1 due in nine months at 8% is .944. The present value of $1 due in two years at 8% is .857. At what amounts should these two notes receivable be reported in Key’s December 31, year 1 balance sheet?

    Alpha Omega

    Yes Yes

    Yes No

    No Yes

    No No”

    ?

    Even their answer seems to think there should be numbers here, right?

    “The requirement is to determine the amounts that should be reported for the two notes receivable. Notes that arise from customers in the normal course of business and are due in one year are classified as current liabilities and recorded at their maturity value. Notes that are due in more than one year are classified as long-term liabilities and are recorded at their present value (ASC 310-10-30-2 and 835-30-25-4). This answer is correct because the Alpha note should be recorded at $10,000, and the Omega note should be recorded at its present value of $8,570 (.857 x $10,000).”

    @Lisa…there are 2 notes in this question. One of the note was issued under a customary trade terms AKA normal course of business, so you will treat that note as a normal Account Receivable without any interest rate imputed.

    The second note was not under customary term so that will have interest rate implications.

    Alpha note will be reported at face value $10,000

    Omega note will be reported at Present value $8570, the discount will be amortized with time
