eBook Show Me How Calculator Periodic Inventory by Three Methods; Cost of Merchandise Sold The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows: Jan. 1 Inventory 50 units @ $108 Mar 10 Purchase 60 units $118 Aug. 30 Purchase 20 units $126 Purchase 70 units @ $130 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, Dec. 12 Cost of Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Merchandise Sold Inventory Method Merchandise Inventory Merchandise Sold First-in, first-out (FIFO) 6,480 X Last-in, first-out (LIFO) Weighted average cost Feedback Check My Work 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 inventor 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 pus 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. Check My Work < Previous

Answer 1

ANSWER:

1) FIFO

Merchandise inventory

: [70units x $130] + [10 units x $126]

= $9,100 + $1,260

= $10,360

Medchandise Sold:

[50 units x $108] + [60 units x $118] + [10 units x $126]

= $5,400 + $7,080 + $1,260

= $13,740

2) LIFO

Merchandise inventory:

[50 units x $108] + [30 x $118]

= $5,400 + $3,540

= $8,940

Medchandise Sold:

[30 units x $118] + [20 x $126] + [70 x $130]

= $3,540 + $2,520 + $9,100

= $15,160

3) Weighted Avg Cost

[50 units x $108] + [60 units x $118] + [20 units x $126] + [70 x $130]

$5,400+$7,080+$2,520+$9,100

= $24,100

$24,100 / 200 units

= $120.5 / unit

Merchandise inventory: $120.5 * 80 units = $9,640

Inventory sold: $120.5 * 120 units = $14,460
