Solutions

Expert Solution

Total Cost of Inventory purchased = $96,060

Units in Closing Inventory = 1,300 units

FIFO

Cost of Ending Inventory = 680 units from 7th purchase @ $26.50 + 200 units from 6th purchase @ $25.50 + 420 u nits from 5th purchase @ $24.50

Cost of Ending Inventory = (680 * $26.50) + (200 * $25.50) + (420 * $24.50)

= $18,020 + $5,100 + $10,290

= $33,410

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Purchases - Closing Inventory

= $96,060 - $33,410

= $62,650

LIFO

Cost of Ending Inventory = 400 units from opening Inventory @ $20 + 530 units from 1st purchase @ $20.50 + 190 units from 2nd purchase @ $21.50 + 180 units from 3rd purchase @ $23

Cost of Ending Inventory = (400 * $20) + (530 * $20.50) + (190 * $21.50) + (180 * $23)

= $8,000 + $10,865 + $4,085 + $4,140

= $27,090

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Purchases - Closing Inventory

= $96,060 - $27,090

= $68,970

WEIGHTED AVERAGE

Average rate of Inventory Per unit = Total cost of purchases / Number of Units

= $96,060 / 4,080 units

= $23.544

Value of Closing Inventory = 1,300 units @ $23.544 i.e. $30,607.20

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Purchases - Closing Inventory

= $96,060 - $30,607.20

= $65,452.80

SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION

Value of Closing Inventory = (100 units @ $20.50) + (200 units @ $23) + (100 units @ $24) + (400 units @ $24.50) + (200 units @ $25.50) + (300 units @ $26.50)

Value of closing stock = $2,050 + $4,600 + $2,400 + $9,800 + $5,100 + $7,950

= $31,900

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Purchases - Closing Inventory

= $96,060 - $31,900

= $64,160
