    Thanks so much! My textbook explains what to do, but never why (or it uses such convoluted language that it's impossible for a student to understand), so committing certain processes to memory and applying them broadly to different scenarios can be really difficult; but these breakdowns always make things so much clearer! I fist pump whenever I search CZcams for an accounting concept I'm having trouble with and one of your videos pops up.

      Hey Moody. I am a non-US citizen planning to prepare myself for the CPA test in a future. I have researched a lot about the test, it's divided in four topics, it can take up to 4 hours or so, and all that, but what I couldn't yet find is the most basic question: What's the test like? Is it on paper? a computer? Is it done at a classroom or from home?.

    Why can't schools make videos like this? I swear the professors don't understand perspective, they talk to students about information as if they are supposed to understand it right away.

  • @sydney0stafford
    @sydney0stafford Před 8 lety +1

    Thanks so much! Just one question though. When we must create the 2019 layers, why do we use all of the First Year layer, 2017, as opposed to the 2018 layer. Wouldn't the 2018 layer be LAST in, first out, and the 2017 layer be first in first out?

  • @marylopez9844
    @marylopez9844 Před 8 lety

    Your video has really helped me undrstand. One question though, why don't you use the CPI of year 2019 when removing the layer for 2019?

    • @dukejt
      @dukejt Před 7 lety

      Because the the ending inventory of 2019 at base year prices went down $12,000 we are not going to be adding a layer now we are going to be eating into the 2018 layer.

  • @nicktanner8231
    @nicktanner8231 Před 5 lety +1

    Are we re-inflating each layer because by doing this we are increasing ending inventory which when we expense will lead to higher cost which leads to lower taxes? so essentially we are adding some cost of inflation to inventory to lower taxes? I have no idea if this theory is correct, just tossing it out there.

  • @dhanya_contemplation
    @dhanya_contemplation Před rokem

    Thank you so much for the clear explanation Sir, you are making topics seem easier. If we assume that base year price for 2019 is $400,000 and as on Dec31,2019 $10,000 are subject to erosion, then is the Ending inventory @LIFO cost $453,000 as on 2019 ? Sir, can you please clarify this doubt. :)

    Your videos are great, thank you! I am a little confused by one part of this video. When you divide the end of year price by the price index, I did not get the correct number. $330,000 / 110 = $3,000. Why did you get $300,000. Sorry if this is a stupid question!

    • @jordanghartman
      @jordanghartman Před 8 lety +3

      +votelauren2007 I was confused with this too. It looks like you divide the $330,000 by 1.10 for the CPI. So: $330,000/1.10 = $300,000. Hope that helps!

    • @votelauren2007

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  Před 6 lety

      The first time, you divide by the price index to determine the amount of inventory that was added/used each year. This accounts for inflation/deflation of prices and puts the inventory at base year cost. The second time, you multiply by the price index to put the inventory on the books at LIFO cost.

  • @stantonh1452
    @stantonh1452 Před 3 lety

  • @francescociccone2224
    @francescociccone2224 Před rokem

    I think this topic is not so clear, also because the video cutt-off at the end of the explanation. but, I think this is all a matter of indexing the value of the products in a manner that I can evaluate and try to erase the lifo layer erosion in an inflation enviroment.
    Am I right?

  • @davidtaken3557

  • @robinduong949
    @robinduong949 Před 5 lety

    What is the reason we multiply the $18,000 in the very very last row in the 2nd table with 1.10, and not 1.25? Is it because we are "eating into" the previous layer, which has Price Index of 1.1?

    • @yussufhussein9636
      @yussufhussein9636 Před 5 lety

      Robin Duong it’s because the price has gone down. if it had went up like the first year, we would have used the 1.25 PI.
