Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Jan. 1       Inventory     1,000 units at $120  $120,000     $120,000

Feb. 17    Purchases    1,375 units at $128     176,000      296,000

July 21    Purchases    1,500 units at $136    204,000      500,000

Dec. 31   Total units   5,000                        $657,500

Dec. 31   Inventory      1,200

Dec. 31   Units sold    3,800

Inventory cost by:

FIFO ( first-in, first-out method)

July 21    Purchases         75 units at $136  $10,200

Nov. 23  Purchases     1,125 units at $140   157,500

Dec. 31   Inventory      1,200                       $167,700

LIFO (last-in, first-out method)

Jan. 1       Inventory     1,000 units at $120   $120,000

Feb. 17    Purchases      200 units at $128      25,600

Dec. 31   Inventory      1,200                       $145,600

Weighted-Average Cost Method

Total cost of goods available/Total units available  for sale

= $657,500/5,000

= $131.50 per unit

Inventory cost = $157,800 ($131.50 * 1,200)
