1. Perpetual Inventory Using A method of inventory costing based on the assumption that the most recent merchandise inventory costs should be charged against revenue.LIFO

   Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for prepaid cell phones for May are as follows:

   Inventory		Purchases		Sales
   May 1	2,900 units at $32	May 10	1,450 units at $34	May 12	2,030 units
   		May 20	1,305 units at $36	May 14	1,740 units
   				May 31	870 units

   a. Assuming that the perpetual inventory system is used, costing by the LIFO method, determine the cost of merchandise sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, presenting the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 4. Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Merchandise Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.

Cooperative San José of southern Sonora state in Mexico makes a unique syrup using cane sugar and local herbs. The syrup is sold in small bottles and is prized as a flavoring for drinks and for use in desserts. The bottles are sold for $12 each. The first stage in the production process is carried out in the Mixing Department, which removes foreign matter from the raw materials and mixes them in the proper proportions in large vats. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.

A hastily prepared report for the Mixing Department for April appears below:

Management would like some additional information about Cooperative San José’s operations.

Required:

1. What were the Mixing Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for April?

2. What were the Mixing Department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for April? The beginning inventory consisted of the following costs: materials, $10,244; and conversion cost, $6,188. The costs added during the month consisted of: materials, $73,084; and conversion cost, $45,559.

3. How many of the units transferred out of the Mixing Department in April were started and completed during that month?

4. The manager of the Mixing Department stated, “Materials prices jumped from about $1.80 per unit in March to $2.30 per unit in April, but due to good cost control I was able to hold our materials cost to less than $2.30 per unit for the month.” Should this manager be rewarded for good cost control?
