The company sold 245 units at $50 each and has a tax rate of 30%.
Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, what is the
company’s gross profit using LIFO? (rounded to whole dollars)
Periodic Inventory System: LIFO
Date | Number of Units Purchased | Cost per Unit | Purchase Cost | Number of Units Sold | Cost per Unit | Cost of Goods Sold | Number of Units Balance | Cost per Unit | Inventory Balance |
Feb 1, 2017 | 86 | $ 36.00 | $ 3,096.00 | 86 | $ 36.00 | $ 3,096.00 | |||
Mar 14, 2017 | 149 | $ 38.00 | $ 5,662.00 | 86 | $ 36.00 | $ 3,096.00 | |||

149 | $ 38.00 | $ 5,662.00 | |||||||
106 | $ 39.00 | $ 4,134.00 | |||||||
106 | $ 39.00 | $ 4,134.0 | 86 | $ 36.00 | $ 3,096.00 | ||||
139 | $ 38.00 | $ 5,282.0 | 10 | $ 38.00 | $ 380.00 | ||||
Total | 341 | $ 12,892.00 | 245 | $ 9,416.0 | 96 | $ 3,476.00 |
Gross Profit = Total Sales - Cost of goods sold
= $ 12,250 - $ 9,416
= $ 2834
Thus, Company's Gross Profit using LIFO (Periodic Inventory System) is $ 2834.
Total Sales = Sold units * Selling price per unit
= 245 * $ 50
= $ 12,250
Note: Tax effect ignored as it will considered while calculation of Net Profit Margin. Tax is not considered for calculation of Gross Profit.
