The ending inventory reveals eighteight items unsold
Units in inventory = 8 units
Total Items available for sale = Beginning Inventory + All purc. made = 4 + 6 + 4 + 5 = 19 units
Units sold = 19 units - 8 units = 11 units
Answer (a)
Computation of COGS & cost of ending inventory under FIFO :
Under FIFO, out of 11 units sold , 4 units are from beginning Inventory , 6 units from purchase made on March 6 & 1 unit from purchase made on August 9.
Thus ending inventory consists of 3 units from purchase made on August 9 & 5 units from purchase made on December 10
Answer (b)
Computation of COGS & cost of ending inventory under LIFO :
Under LIFO, out of 11 units sold , 5 units from purchase made on December 10, 4 units from purchase made on August 9 & 2 units from purchase made on March 6.
Thus ending inventory consists of 4 units from purchase made on March 6. & 4 units from beginning Inventory
Answer (c)
Computation of COGS & cost of ending inventory under weighted-average methods :
Average cost per unit = Total cost of inventory / Total units available for sale = $81 / 19 units = $4.26
