Vibrant Company had $850,000 of sales in each of three consecutive years 2014–2016, and it purchased merchandise costing $500,000 in each of those years. It also maintained a $250,000 physical inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period. In accounting for inventory, it made an error at the end of year 2014 that caused its year-end 2014 inventory to appear on its statements as $230,000 rather than the correct $250,000. 1. Determine the correct amount of the company’s gross profit in each of the years 2014–2016. 2. Prepare comparative income statements as in Exhibit 6.11 to show the effect of this error on the company’s cost of goods sold and gross profit for each of the years 2014–2016.

Required 1. Prepare comparative income statements similar to Exhibit 6.8 for the three inventory costing methods of FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average. (Round all amounts to cents.)

Include a detailed cost of goods sold section as part of each statement. The company uses a periodic inventory system, and its income tax rate is 40%.

2. How would the financial results from using the three alternative inventory costing methods change if the company had been experiencing declining costs in its purchases of inventory?

3. What advantages and disadvantages are offered by using (a) LIFO and (b) FIFO? Assume the continuing trend of increasing costs.
