Answer:
(a) Cost of inventory sold using FIFO method = $179,280
(b) Cost of inventory sold using LIFO method = $188,700
(c) Cost of inventory sold using weighted average cost method = $186,000
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Units of inventory sold = Units available for sale - Ending physical inventory units = 45 – 14 = 31
(a) first-in, first-out (FIFO) method
Under FIFO, inventory purchased first is sold first. Therefore, we have:
Cost of inventory sold using FIFO = 12 units at $5,400 each from Jan. 1 + 18 units at $6,000 each from Aug. 7 Purchase + 1 unit at $6,480 from Dec. 11 Purchase = (12 * $5,400) + (18 * $6,000) + (1 * $6,480) = $64,800 + $108,000 + $6,480 = $179,280
(b) last-in, first-out (LIFO) method
Under LIFO, inventory purchased last is sold first. Therefore, we have:
Cost of inventory sold using LIFO = 15 unit at $6,480 each from Dec. 11 Purchase + 16 units at $6,000 each from Aug. 7 Purchase = (15 * $6,480) + (16 * $6,000) = $97,200 + $96,000 = $188,700
(c) weighted average cost method (round per-unit cost to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar).
Under the weighted average cost method, the cost of goods available for sale is divided by the number of units available for sale to obtain average cost per unit. This is then used to multiply the total units sold to obtain the cost of inventory sold as follows:
Weighted average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale / Units available for sale = $270,000 / 45 = $6,000
Cost of inventory sold using weighted average cost method = Units of inventory sold * Weighted average cost per unit = 31 * $6,000 = $186,000
