Mannisto, Inc., uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $244,087 and average assets of $1,550,550. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $44,110 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $40,630 less than under FIFO. a) Calculate the firm's ROA under each cost flow assumption.
b) Suppose that two years later costs and prices were falling. Under FIFO, net income and average assets were $288,567 and $1,880,970, respectively. If LIFO had been used through the years, inventory values would have been $45,690 less than under FIFO, and current year cost of goods sold would have been $22,660 less than under FIFO. Calculate the firm's ROA under each cost flow assumption.

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
