Explanation / Answer

a) The cumulative amount of income tax savings by using LIFO method through 2014 =

= (Closing LIFO Reserve - Opening LIFO reserve)*tax rate

= ($465 million - $351 million)*20% = $22.8 million

b) Inventory turnover ratio under the LIFO = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

= $6,633 million/($1,260+$1,015)/2 = $6,633 million/$1,137.5 million = 5.83

c) Inventory turnover ratio under the FIFO = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

= ($6,633+$351-$465) million/[($1,260+$465)+($1,015+$351)]/2 = $6,519 million/$1,545.5 million = 4.22

d) For calculating Cash Conversion cycle under LIFO we need to calculate Accounts receivable and Accounts payable turnover Ratio under LIFO.

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable = 13,038/(1,378+1,364)/2

= 13,038/1,371 = 9.51

Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Accounts Payable = 6,633/(689+502)/2

= 6,633/595.5 = 11.14

Cash Conversion Cycle under LIFO = (365/5.83)+(365/9.51)+(365/11.14) = 62.61+38.38+32.76 =133.75 or 134 days (days)
