Rebasing the Inventory at year-end using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method:
Year Ended Inventory year Cost index Inventory Amount
December 31 end costs (relative to base year) at year-end
2021 $340,000 1.02 $333,333
2022 350,000 1.06 $330,189
2023 400,000 1.07 $373,832
2024 430,000 1.10 $390,909
Explanation:
a) Data:
Year Ended Inventory year Cost index
December 31 end costs (relative to base year)
2021 $340,000 1.02
2022 350,000 1.06
2023 400,000 1.07
2024 430,000 1.10
b) The inventory at year-end costs is rebased using the cost index that is relative to the base year, by dividing the inventory costs by the cost index.
