composes the Balance sheet and the Income Statement. He applies the FIFO-accounting system for the
inventory in the financial statements. After a year the supermarket has bottles of orange juice in ending
inventory.
Which of the following statements about the Gross Profit on the Income Statement and ending Inventory
on the Balance sheet is correct compared to the situation the purchase price would remain constant over
the 12 months?
a. The decreasing purchase price leads to a lower value of the ending inventory and a lower
Gross Profit.

Gross Profit.
d. The decreasing purchase price leads to a higher value of the ending inventory and a lower

Gross Profit.
