Problem 6-2A Part 1

Required:

1. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, using the specific identification method.

2. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31.

3. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31.

4. Using weighted-average cost, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31. (Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

5. Calculate sales revenue and gross profit under each of the four methods. (Round weighted-average cost amounts to 2 decimal places.)

6. Comparing FIFO and LIFO, which one provides the more meaningful measure of ending inventory?
