It does not affect the retail industry’s inventory valuation methods, so it is not necessary to include the lawsuit by Macy’s in the last paragraph.
The inflationary economic time and the accounting jargon of elastic pricing needs to be changed to professional wording. It would be appropriate to express that the company’s prices are flexible because of the industry demands, with elastic pricing, so the inventory methods have to reflect this to maintain a profit. As coming into a period of rising prices the inflationary economic times may be explained. Both changes would advise the senior officers of what’s important to take into consideration without adding any information that is not necessary.
