Expert Solution

Ans 1.3.1 :- Calculation of number of units in the closing inventory:

Opening Inventory 5 units

Add: Purchased from supplier on 7 June 7 units

Add: Purchased from supplier on 16 June 4 units

Add: Purchased from supplier on 25 June 2 units

Less: sales for the month 15 units

Closing Inventory(No. of units) 3 units

Ans 1.3.2 :- Calculation of value of closing inventory using FIFO method:

FIFO or First In First Out method means selling out the goods from the inventory which is purchased first.

Total sales for the month :- 15 units

Less: Opening Inventory 5 units

Less: Inventory purchased on 7 June 7 units

Less: Inventory purchased on 16 June 3 units

Closing Inventory of 16 June : 1 unit of R 1500 each = 1500

Closing Inventory of 25 June : 2 units of R 1600 each = 3200

Therefore, value of closing inventory using FIFO method = 4800

Ans 1.3.3: Calculation of value of closing inventory using WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD:-

		Units in hand	Purchases	Sales	Inventory Total cost
	Opening Inventory(R 1400 each)	5 units	--	--	7000
Add	Purchases ( R 1400 each)	7 units	9800	--	16800
Add	Purchases (R 1500 each)	4 units	6000	--	22800
Add	Purchases (R 1600 each)	2 units	3200	--	26000
Less	sold	15 units
	Closing Inventory	3 units

Total cost of purchases (7000+9800+6000+3200) = 26,000

Total units purchased including opening inventory (5+7+4+2) = 18 units

weighted average cost per unit = 26,000/18units = 1444.44

Therefore value of closing inventory = 3 units*1444.44 per unit = 4333.33/-
