inventory purchased earlier and having
lowest cost

acquired and most expensive inventory
Inventory (least liquid of current assets)
reported in one of two ways on balance sheet
The Balance Sheet

their difference represents true market
value of shareholders’ equity
Asset Valuation
Better information is provided to management
and investors by adopting a marking to market
approach—reporting assets at their current
market value

Federal Income Tax
Dividends and interest payments
Current U.S. tax code allows interest
payments on debt issued by firms to be tax
deductible
Dividends paid on firm’s preferred stock or
common stock are not deductible for tax
purposes–they are paid from after-tax
income
The result is a lower cost of debt financing
relative to the cost of equity financing
