老师可以翻译下以下吗。。

问题如下:

Nutmeg, Inc. uses the LIFO method to account for inventory. During years in which inventory unit costs are generally rising and in which the company purchases more inventory than it sells to customers, its reported gross profit margin will most likely be:(assume the companies use a periodic inventory system)

选项:

A.

lower than it would be if the company used the FIFO method.

B.

higher than it would be if the company used the FIFO method.

C.

about the same as it would be if the company used the FIFO method.

解释:

A is correct.

LIFO will result in lower inventory and higher cost of sales in periods of rising costs compared to FIFO. Consequently, LIFO results in a lower gross profit margin than FIFO.

解析:N公司用的是LIFO的存货计量方法,目前是存货采购价值上升的市场。

Gross profit margin=(revenue-COGS)/revenue,不管是LIFO还是FIFO,revenue都是一样的,题目问gross profit margin的大小,就等同于问COGS的大小,COGS大,分子就小,Gross profit margin就小。

如果是FIFO,价格上升的市场COGS反映的是以前存货的价格,是更低的价格,所以其Gross profit margin就更大,反过来,LIFO的gross profit margin更小。选项A正确。

. During years in which inventory unit costs are generally rising and in which the company purchases more inventory than it sells to customers,

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


During years in which inventory unit costs are generally rising and in which the company purchases more inventory than it sells to customers,


前半句话是说物价是上涨的。


同时因为LIFO的方法会有LIFO liquidation的问题,当物价上涨,使用LIFO时, 后进来的存货先出去,所以COGS会更大,


此时公司如果不希望COGS偏大,它就会购买少于销售量的存货,比如销售了100件存货,但只购入40件,


这样一来,有60件的成本就按之前先购入的价格比较低的存货来计算,公司以前会“挖”cost比较低的存货销售,造成COGS比较低的假象。


所以题目中说的purchases more inventory than it sells,就不存在购买少于销售量的存货的现象,其实是想说没有LIFO liquidation的问题。

虽然现在很辛苦,但努力过的感觉真的很好,加油!
