On January 1, 2021, Avondale Lumber adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory value for its one inventory pool on this date was $265,000. An internally generated cost index is used to convert ending inventory to base year. Year-end inventories at year-end costs and cost indexes for its one inventory pool were as follows: Year Ended December 31 Inventory year end costs Cost index(relative to base year)
2021 $340,000 1.02
2022 350,000 1.06
2023 400,000 1.07
2024 430,000 1.10

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.
