Question

Below is the information relating to Montel purchases of snowboards during september ,during the same month 120 snoeboards were sold .Montel uses periodic inventory system.

 

Date	Transaction	Unit	unit cost
1-Sep	Inventory	20	$100.00
12-Sep	Purchase	45	$103.00
19-Sep	Purchase	20	$104.00
26-Sep	Purchase	50	$105.00

Compute the ending Inventory under FIFO and LIFO method and Cost of Goods sold.

What you notice about in the both method regarding Cost of Goods sold and ending inventory

Answer 1

a).  Ending inventory using FIFO method =$1,575

Cost of goods sold for FIFO=$12,390

 ai) Ending inventory using LIFO =$1,500

Cost of goods sold for LIFO =$12,465

b). Sum of Ending inventory and cogs for FIFO= $13,965

bii). sum of ending inventory and cogs for LIFO =$13,965

 

EXAPLANATION:

FIFO stands for  “first in first out” and simply means you need to label your food with the dates you store them, and put the older foods in front or on top so that you use them first. This system allows you to find your food quicker and use them more efficiently.

LIFO on the other hand stands for The Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method assumes that the last unit to arrive in inventory or more recent is sold first.

so:- 

Solution for part (a) with FIFO method

FIFO-goods purchase first are sold first;

ai). Ending inventory=Total units-sales unit

given :

total cost=135 units

sales units =120

hence;

ending inventory  =135-120

          =15 units

value of ending inventory=ending inventory *purchases

                                       = 15*105

                                                =$1,575

aii). Cost of goods sold;

= (20*100) + (45*103) + (20*104)+ (35*105)

cost of goods sold = 2000+4635 +2080 +3675

= $12,390

Solution for part (a) with LIFO method:

LIFO-Goods purchased last are sold first;

so;

ai) Ending inventory =15 units

value of ending inventory = 15*100 

= $1,500

aii). Cost of goods sold;

(5*100) +(45*103) +(20*104) + (50*105)

= 500+4635 +2080 +5250

= $12,465

a).  Ending inventory using FIFO method =$1,575

Cost of goods sold for FIFO=$12,390

 ai) Ending inventory using LIFO =$1,500

Cost of goods sold for LIFO =$12,465

b). Sum of Ending inventory and cogs for FIFO= $13,965

bii). sum of ending inventory and cogs for LIFO =$13,965
