AICPA Adapted LIFO and Inventory Pools
Response to the following problem:
On January 1, 2007, Grover Company changed its inventory cost flow method to the LIFO cost method from the FIFO cost method for its raw materials inventory. It made the change for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. Grover uses the multiple-pools approach, under which it groups substantially identical raw materials into LIFO inventory pools; it uses weighted average costs in valuing annual incremental layers. The composition of the December 31, 2009 inventory for the Class F inventory pool is as follows:
