On July 28, Speed World sold four Kazomma 900 dirt bikes to the Vince Wilson racing team. The remaining four bikes remained in inventory at September 30, the end of Speed World’s fiscal year.

Assume that Speed World uses a periodic inventory system. (See the data given before Problem 8.2A.)

Instructions

a. Compute the cost of goods sold relating to the sale on July 28 and the ending inventory of Kazomma 900 dirt bikes at September 30, using the following cost flow assumptions:

1. Average cost.

2. FIFO.

3. LIFO.

Show the number of units and unit costs in each cost layer of the ending inventory. You may determine the cost of goods sold by deducting ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale.


b. If Speed World Cycles uses the UFO cost flow assumption for financial reporting purposes, can it use the FIFO method for income tax purposes? Explain.
