Suppose you are an investment advisor, and you are looking at two companies to recommend to your clients, Shelly's Seashell Enterprises and Jeremy Feigenbaum Systems. The two companies are virtually identical, and both began operations at the beginning of the current year. During the year, each company purchased inventory as follows:
|

|
10,000
|
units at $4 =
|
$ 40,000

units at 7 =
|
70,000
|
|
Totals
|
|
32,000
|
|
$177,000
|
During the first year, both companies sold 25,000 units of inventory. In early January, both companies purchased equipment costing $143,000, with a 10-year estimated useful life and a $20,000 residual value. Shelly uses the inventory and depreciation methods that maximize reported income (FIFO and straight-line). By contrast, Feigenbaum uses the inventory and depreciation methods that minimize income taxes (LIFO and doubledeclining- balance). Both companies' trial balances at December 31, 2013, included the following:
|
Sales revenue
|
$270,000
|
|
Operating expenses
|
80,700
