请问B答案哪里错了?

NO.PZ2019120301000182

问题如下:

Question All else being equal, if the purchase price of inventory is increasing, a company that accounts for its inventory under last-in, first-out (LIFO) instead of first-in, first-out (FIFO) is most likely to have a:

选项:

A.higher debt-to-equity ratio.

B.lower net cash flow from operating activities.

C.lower market valuation of its common equity.

解释:

Solution

A is correct. With rising costs of inventory, a company using LIFO compared with FIFO will report a higher cost of sales and lower profits. This scenario will result in lower increments to retained earnings and a higher debt-to-equity ratio.

B is incorrect. A company using LIFO will report lower taxes paid and a higher net cash flow from operating activities.

C is incorrect. The higher cash flows under LIFO due to lower income taxes paid will increase its market value relative to an identical company that uses FIFO.

C OGS增加不是profit减少了吗?为什么B错了?

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


同学你好,我们可以从实际操作的过程(而不能从利润表计算CFO的角度)来思考:无这个公司用FIFO还是LIFO,假如今年公司购买存货一共花了1000万的现金出去,那现金流量表上最后记录的由于购买存货所支付的现金,就是1000万——所以该科目上,现金流出都是1000万

但是,由于LIFO记得存货成本更高,会使得公司的税前利润变低,从而需要支付的税金现金变低——所以最后为了经营所支付的税款现金变少,相当于CFO中的减项变小,公司的净经营性现金流就变高了

如果用间接法计算CFO的方法考虑现金流的话,不仅要考虑COGS增加,也要考虑存货的调整减少,思考起来就太复杂了哦

所以B错误
