问题如下:
During a period of rising unit inventory costs, under which inventory method, debt-to-equity ratio will be the lowest?
选项:
A.Weighted average cost.
B.FIFO.
C.LIFO.
解释:
B is correct. When the price tends to rise, FIFO will have higher inventory and lower COGS. Both inventory and net income are higher, thus total equity is higher, indicating a lowest debt-to-equity ratio.
老师,您好,这题不是很理解,没有理顺里面的关系,我觉得Asset(inventory)增加,会导致debt = asset - equity 增加,那么D/E应该也是增加的。反之,如果要D/E成为lowest,不是应该ASSET 变小才可以吗?那这样情况下,不是应该LIFO比较符合这题的答案?请再为我解释下,谢谢~
