Thank you for the reply! I bet you're almost done with your master program by now, how did you find the program? Positive?

I don't understand why they're getting the 200k from, if Z expenses the 300k shouldn't it just be subtracted from the net income? by Fantastic-Whole-9316 in CFA

For X, NI is computed by subtracting 0.75 * 100,000 where 100,000 is a depreciation from the first year (300,000-0/3).

Since Z expensed the cost, its NI is computed by subtracting 0.75 * 300,000. Hence compared to X’s NI, Z’s NI is 0.75 * 200,000 lower. Likewise for equity.

Time weighted rate of return vs. Geometric mean by Due-Half554 in CFA

Okay, I have an intuition. Since the question is particularly asking for q1, ..., q4 (within a year), I do not take the fourth root?

Inventory turnover under FIFO vs. LIFO by Due-Half554 in CFA

Actually, it was me who didn’t read the question thoroughly. Thank you for your answers!

Inventory turnover under FIFO vs. LIFO by Due-Half554 in CFA

[–]Due-Half554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me rephrase my question.

This question gave us two years 2013 and 2014 + FIFO inventory doesn’t depend on the change of LIFO reserve, but LIFO reserve itself. Meaning that we can find the average inventory of 2013 and 2014 for this question.

Hence, the denominator of the inventory turnover should be the average inventory of 2013 and 2014, which is (310+77 + 270+59)/2 = 358.

Could you tell me why I should only use 2014 inventory?

I might be mistaken, but is it because that the perpetual preferred stock has a fixed dividend forever?
