What is Lewis Corporation Inventory Valuation Analysis about?
Lewis Corporation traditionally used FIFO inventory valuation but is considering switching to LIFO to reduce taxes. The summary calculates inventory and income under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost for 2009-2011. It finds that while LIFO provides tax savings, it results in lower net income than FIFO. For 2012, FIFO is recommended as sales are expected to decline during a recession. The LIFO reserve represents the difference between FIFO and LIFO inventory values and increased from 2009 to 2010.
