Question - Cathy Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Cathy's balance sheet reported $800 of inventory at the end of the current year. The Notes to the Financial Statements reported a LIFO reserve at the beginning of the year of $100, and a LIFO reserve at the end of the year of $150. You want to compare Cathy's ending inventory to a competitor who uses the FIFO method. To do this, you must adjust Cathy's numbers to what they would have been had they used FIFO. What amount should you use to compare Cathy's inventory at the end of the year to its FIFO competitor?
