Seattle, Co. began the year with 480 units of one of its most popular products. During the year Seattle purchased 1,000 units and sold 1,100 units for $750 each. What is the pre-tax effect of Seattle's LIFO liquidation?
| Date | Transaction | # of Units | Cost per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 | Beginning Inventory | 480 | $576 |
| 8/6 | Purchase | 1000 | $648 |
a. $57,600
b. $7,200
c. $14,400
d. $17,400
a.$57,600.
since 1000 units are purchased, but 1100 units are sold and LIFO is used.
1000 units purchased will be sold and 100 units will be from beginning inventory.
so LIFO liquidation pre tax effect will be = $576 cost per unit of beginning inventory *100 units
=>$57,600.
