Periodic Inventory by Three Methods; Cost of Merchandise Sold The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows


Periodic Inventory by Three Methods; Cost of Merchandise Sold

The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows:

Jan. 1Inventory50 units @ $110
Mar. 10Purchase60 units @ $122
Aug. 30Purchase20 units @ $130
Dec. 12Purchase70 units @ $134

There are 80 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used.

Determine the inventory cost and the cost of merchandise sold by three methods. Round interim calculations to one decimal and final answers to the nearest whole dollar.



Cost of Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Merchandise Sold
Inventory MethodMerchandise InventoryMerchandise Sold
First-in, first-out (FIFO)$$
Last-in, first-out (LIFO)

Weighted average cost


Note that this exercise uses the periodic inventory system. FIFO means that the first units purchased are assumed to be the first to be sold. Therefore, ending inventory costs for the period are calculated by taking the number of items remaining in the physical inventory times the most recent purchase price. If the number of items in last purchase layer is less than the number in ending inventory, the balance of the ending inventory items must be recorded at the second most recent purchase cost. The cost of merchandise sold for the period can be calculated by subtracting the ending inventory from the total cost of goods available for sale.


Note that this exercise uses the periodic inventory system. LIFO means the last units purchased are assumed to be the first to be sold. Therefore the ending inventory for the period is made up of the earliest costs from the period (the beginning inventory). If the number of units in the ending inventory is greater than the units in the beginning inventory, the excess units will be recorded at the next oldest cost associated with the first purchase. The cost of merchandise sold for the period can be calculated by subtracting the ending inventory from the total cost of goods available for sale.


Note that this exercise uses the periodic inventory system. Average unit cost means the average unit cost of all available units purchased is applied to the number of units sold and those in ending inventory. Therefore, you must first obtain a unit cost by dividing the total cost of all units available for sale by the number of units available for sale. Then multiply the number of items remaining in the physical inventory times this unit cost. The cost of merchandise sold for the period can be calculated by subtracting the ending inventory from the total cost of goods available for sale.

Cook Farm Supply Company manufactures and sells a pesticide called Snare. The following data are available for preparing budgets for Snare for the first 2 quarters of 2020.

1. Sales: quarter 1, 28,400 bags; quarter 2, 43,800 bags. Selling price is $61 per bag.
2. Direct materials: each bag of Snare requires 4 pounds of Gumm at a cost of $3.80 per pound and 6 pounds of Tarr at $1.50 per pound.
3. Desired inventory levels:

Gumm (pounds) 9,300 10,500 13,100
Tarr (pounds) 14,200 20,100 25,100
4. Direct labor: direct labor time is 15 minutes per bag at an hourly rate of $16 per hour.
5. Selling and administrative expenses are expected to be 15% of sales plus $177,000 per quarter.
6. Interest expense is $100,000.
7. Income taxes are expected to be 30% of income before income taxes.


Your assistant has prepared two budgets: (1) the manufacturing overhead budget shows expected costs to be 125% of direct labor cost, and (2) the direct materials budget for Tarr shows the cost of Tarr purchases to be $301,000 in quarter 1 and $427,500 in quarter 2.

(Note: Do not prepare the manufacturing overhead budget or the direct materials budget for Tarr.)

Dr. Eger is a physician who operates on two different types of patients. He has been pressing the HOS for more operating-room time. HOS is busy and would have to turn away other surgeons if it complies. Eger claims that he has become so efficient lately that HOS cannot afford to refuse him. As evidence of his improved efficiency, he points out that in August he operated on 18 patients. The total cost of treating the patients was $129,100. In September he operated on 18 patients. The total cost of treating the patients was only $127,000. According to Dr. Eger, he has generated a total savings of $2,100. Your investigation determines that in August he treated seven Type X patients with an average cost of $4,300 and 11 type Y patients with an average cost of $9,000. In September, he treated eight Type X patients and ten Type Y patients. Costs in September for his patients were $5,000 for Type X and $8,700 for Type Y. Although the August cost for Type X patients had risen, Eger points out that costs for the higher-volume, higher-cost type Y patients had fallen. Develop a case-mix variance and a cost variance so we can better understand the impact on HOS of the changes in Dr. Eger’s practice from August to September. What other information would be of interest in this particular case?

A competitive firm uses two inputs, capital (?) and labour (?), to produce one output, (?). The price of capital, ??, is $1 per unit and the price of labor, ?? , is $1 per unit. The firm operates in competitive markets for outputs and inputs, so takes the prices as given. The production function is ?(?, ?) = 3? 0.25? 0.25. The maximum amount of output produced for a given amount of inputs is ? = ?(?, ?) units.

e) Draw the firm’s total cost function, average cost function, and marginal cost function on a diagram. Clearly label the axes, the curves, and any key points on the graph (eg., axis intercepts, curve intersections, and minimums) with the numbers specifying the exact prices and quantities at these points. What are the coordinates of the points where the average cost curve and marginal cost curve intersect with the total cost curve? [6 marks]

f) Does your graph indicate increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale? Explain. [1 mark] Hint: Think about the relationship between the total cost function and returns to scale.

g) Show the firm’s long-run supply function on your diagram and write a supply function for the firm. [2 marks]

h) Using your supply function, find the profit maximising quantity if the price of output ? = 4. What price would be needed for the firm to supply 18 units of output? [2 marks]
