Questions 1:
One reason that the last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation method is widely used in the United States is most likely that it:
A、 results in higher reported gross profit.
B、 is available under both US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.
C、 results in higher operating cash flows.
Questions 2:
Depreciation expense under which of the following methods is least likely affected by the estimate of the useful life of the asset?
A 、Double declining balance method
B 、Straight-line method
C、 Units-of-production method
View answer resolution
【Answer to question 1】C
【analysis】
C is correct. LIFO is widely used in the United States because it results in a higher cost of goods sold, and thus lower taxable profits, under the assumption of historically rising prices. Income taxes are correspondingly lower, and thus operating cash flows are higher.
A is incorrect. Under normal conditions (rising prices), the LIFO method results in a higher reported cost of goods sold and a lower reported gross profit.
B is incorrect. IFRS does not allow LIFO as an inventory valuation method
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct. The units-of-production method is independent of the useful life estimate.
A is incorrect. The double declining balance method is linked to useful life estimate because the “double” refers to doubling the rate determined under the straight-line method which depends on the useful life.
B is incorrect. The straight-line method is linked to useful life estimate.
成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
