- Click the Chart sheet tab. On the screen is a column chart showing ending inventory costs. During a deflationary period, which bar (A, B, or C) represents FIFO costing, which represents LIFO costing, and which represents weighted average? Explain your reasoning. On January 4 following year-end, Rio Enterprises received a shipment of 60 units of product costing 580 each. These units had been ordered by Del in December and had been shipped to him on December 27. They were shipped FOB shipping point. Revise the FIFOLIFO3 worksheet to include this shipment. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as FIFOLIFOT. Using the FIFOLIFO3 file, prepare a 3-D bar (stacked) chart showing the cost of goods sold and ending inventory under each of the four inventory cost flow assumptions. No Chart Data Table is needed. Use the values in the Calculations Section of the worksheet for your chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as FIFOLIFO3. Print the chart.arrow_forwardChassen Company, a cracker and cookie manufacturer, has the following unit costs for the month of June: A total of 100,000 units were manufactured during June, of which 10,000 remain in ending inventory. Chassen uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory method, and the 10,000 units are the only finished goods inventory at June 30. Under the absorption costing concept, the value of Chassens June 30 finished goods inventory would be: a. 50,000. b. 70,000. c. 85,000. d. 145,000.arrow_forwardUsing the information in the previous exercises about Marleys Manufacturing, determine the operating income for department B, assuming department A sold department B 1,000 units during the month and department A reduces the selling price to the market price.arrow_forward
