Answer 1

In FIFO method stock purchased first sold first hence ending inventor always include stock from last purchases.

a). Cost of Goods Sold in FIFO:-
= (100 * $14) + (400 * $15) + [(300-270)* $16]
= $7880

b). Ending Inventory in FIFO:-
= 270 * $16 = $4320

c). Net Income = Sales - COGS
= (530 units * $23) - $7880
= $12190 - $7880 = $4310
Less Tax 40% = $4310 * 40% = $1724
Net Income after tax = $2586

d). Ending Cash = Opening balance + Sales - Purchases
= $46000 + $12190 - ($7880 + $4320)
= $46000 + $12190 - $12200 = $45990

In LIFO Inventory purchased in last sold first.

e). Cost of Goods Sold = [(400-170) * $15] + (300* $16)
= (230 * 15) + (300*16) = $8250

f). Ending inventory in LIFO = (100 * $14) + (170 * $15)
= $3950

g). Net Income in LIFO = Sales - COGS
= $12190 - $8250 = $3940
Less TAx 40% = $3940 * 40% = $1576
Net Income after tax = $2364

h). Ending Cash In LIFO = It will remain same as in FIFO = $45990

i). Saving is due to less net income in LIFO in comparison of FIFO due to which lower tax has been paid.
