The 1992 LIFO Reserve Total Current Year Cost $502,000 Less: 1992 LIFO Value 1992 Reserve Addition $9,185 At December 31, 1993, Model Year 1994, the dealership had the following vehicles in ending inventory: Extended Extended Quantity Model CYC CYC BOYC BOYC 6 Car A $24,000 $144,000 $23,000 $138,000 7 Car B 25,000 175,000 24,000 168,000 10 Car C 28,000 280,000 27,000 270,000 23 $599,000 $576,000 BOYC = Beginning of Year Costs. This is the December 31, 1992, price of the same vehicle showing in the December 31, 1993, ending inventory. CYC = Current Year Cost. This is the price at December 31, 1993, of the 1994 Models in the December 31, 1993, ending inventory. The 1993 LIFO Index is 1.040: (TOTAL CYC / TOTAL BOYC) $599,000 / $576,000 = 1.040 The 1993 Cumulative Index is 1.083: (1993 LIFO INDEX x 1992 CUMULATIVE LIFO INDEX) 1.040 x 1.041 = 1.083 The value of the 9312 Ending Inventory at Base Year Cost is $553,093. (1993 CURRENT YEAR COST / 1993 CUMULATIVE INDEX) $599,000 / 1.083 = $553,093 8-26

$553,093 $569,562<br />
The 1993 Increment at Base Year Cost ($70,865) is derived by subtracting the Base Year<br />
Inventory and the 1992 Increment from the 9312 Ending Inventory at Base Year Cost.<br />

- Base Year Inventory <br />
1993 Increment $70,865<br />
The 1993 LIFO Value is derived by multiplying the 1993 Increment by the 1993 Cumulative<br />
Index, then adding this product to the product of the Prior Year LIFO value which in this example<br />
is determined by multiplying the Base Year Cost by the Base Year Index and the product of the<br />
1992 increment multiplied by the 1992 Cumulative Index.<br />
Base Year Inventory $224,000 x 1.000 = $224,000<br />
1992 Increment 258,228 x 1.041 = + 268,815<br />
