Volume 2 Financial Reporting and Analysis 第47页最下面到48页第一行的"Inventories valued on the LIFO basis totaled ¥94,578 million and ¥50,037 million at December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. “
这句话中的¥94,578 million and ¥50,037 million是什么值,有什么用?
N2. 提到“cost is determined on the "average-cost" basis, except for the cost of finished products`````which is determined "last in, first out" basis”那么为什么把exhibit1中的inventories的值当作LIFO来用了?
Note2及Question14: 我的理解是 Year 2008 Total Inventory=¥608572=Finished Goods + Work In Progress + Raw Material + Supplies and Others. Note 2 告訴你Finished Goods一部分是以LIFO計算,LIFO reserve= ¥10120. Question 14只有叫你把LIFO inventory的部分換成FIFO inventory,仍然是求total inventory,所以用original total inventory(¥608572)+LIFO reserve(¥10120)就可以得到答案(¥618692)
另外Note2提到的,我的理解是
2008 Total Inventory=¥608572=Finished Goods+ Raw material+Work in progress+Supplies and other
有一部分的Finished goods是以LIFO計提,另外LIFO reserve=¥10120
Question 14叫你把以LIFO計提的inventory轉換成FIFO,但是其他average cost計提的inventory不需要轉換
所以要計算2008 total inventory=¥608572+¥10120=¥618692
