1. Name the account(s) presented in the financial statements that would have different amounts for 2018 if LIFO rather than FIFO had been used, and state the new amount for each account that is named.

Answer 1

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

We have to use LIFO (LAST IN FIRST OUT) which means inventories which is purchased in last , have to issue or sale first i.e first out. When we use LIFO or FIFO only inventories or stock accounts are used because it's all about the inventories and stock.

We have to calculate for the year 2018 So from the information given (3) about the purchase we have purchased 181800units @$4.80 each and it will cost $872640 and then it is sale 181800 @$8.20and it will amt to $ 1490760

Balance AMT is $618120.

So the accounts presented in the financial statements that would have different AMT for 2018 is inventories by $618120 and all the amounts are right.
