The following information was taken from the financial statements and notes to the financial statements of a company that accounts for its inventory on a LIFO basis.
If the company had reported on a FIFO basis and the
additional tax liability arising from restatement resulted in an immediate
reduction in cash, its 2014 return on assets (using 2014 assets only) would be:
选项：
A.6.2%. B.6.4%. C.7.7%.解释：
The net income and total assets both need to be adjusted to what they would have been under the FIFO method.Return on assets = (Net income/Total assets) × 100= (391.4/6,148.3) × 100= 6.36%Under FIFO, total assets increase by the LIFO reserve but decrease by the cash paid for the cumulative amount of additional income taxes that would arise. Net income will be higher under FIFO as a result of lower COGS—that is, the increase in the LIFO reserve—but will be reduced by the taxes paid on the increase in operating profit.
