When inventory costs are rising, a company may prefer to use the method in the perpetual system in order to pay the lowest amount of taxes.

LIFO (Last-in-last-out)

Explanation:

Last in last out is the method of inventory valuation where the unit that was added in inventory last would be sold first. In case, of rising prices, the unit added in inventory would cost more than the one added first. So, if LIFO is used in case of rising prices, cost of goods sold would be higher. If COGS is higher, income will fall, thereby reducing tax liability.

So, if the firm wants to pay lower taxes during price rise, it should opt for LIFO method to value inventory.

statement of owner"s equity;

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.

hope this
