(1)
Absorption costing is a process that the company uses to allocate all types of costs on all products, and then calculates the final price of the products.
Variable costing considers only the variable costs and it is not used for external purpose. However, the company uses this method for their own internal management.
To compare: Income under variable costing and absorption costing for Company A.

Just-in-time Inventory System: It means increasing the efficiency of the inventory system by aligning the raw material required from suppliers directly to the material required in the production. This reduces the inventory costs.
To compare: Income under absorption and variable costing if ‘Just-in-time’ (JIT) inventory system is used.

- If the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $56,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.) Operating income byarrow_forwardSamsung Electronics reports the following regarding its accounting for inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method, except for materials-in-transit. Inventories are reduced for the estimated losses arising from excess, obsolescence, and decline in value. This reduction is determined by estimating market value based on future customer demand. The losses on inventory obsolescence are recorded as a part of cost of sales. 1. What cost flow assumption(s) does Samsung apply in assigning costs to its inventories? 2. If at the current year-end there was an increase in the value of its inventories such that there was a reversal of W550 (W is Korean won) million for the write-down recorded in the prior year, how would Samsung account for this under IFRS? Would Samsung’s accounting be different for this reversal if it reported under U.S. GAAP? Explain.arrow_forwardIf the company had used the FIFO inventory costing method, cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been $ 10,200.00. Management wants a report that shows how changing from FIFO to another method would change net income. Prepare a table showing (1) the amount by which cost of goods sold under LIFO and AVCO is different from the FIFO cost of goods sold and ( 2) the effect on net income when LIFO and AVCO are used instead of FIFO. When costs are rising, what is the effect of the FIFO inventory valuation approach on cost of goods sold, gross profit and net income? Why?arrow_forward
