Question

assume the following data for Burnette Company for 20X5: Beginning inventory 10 units at $7 each. March 18 purchase 15 units at $9 each June 10 purchase 20 units at $10 each October 30 purchase 12 units at $11 each. On December 31 a physical count reveals 15 units in ending inventory: Under the LIFO method ending inventory would be valued at? Under the FIFO method cost of goods sold on the income statement would be? Under the weighted-average method cost of goods sold on the income statement would be?

Explanation / Answer

Units available for sale = 10 + 15 + 20 + 12 = 57 units

Units at ending Inventory = 15

Units sold = 57 -15 = 42 units

A)Under LIFO method units acquired /purchased last are sold first .so ending Inventory are from Initial purchase.

Ending Inventory = (10 * 7 ) +(5 *9)

                        = 70 + 45

                        = $ 115

B) under FIFO ,units purchase first are sold first.

COGS= (10*7)+(15 *9) +[(42 -10 -15) * 10]

          = 70 + 135 + [17 * 10]

          = 70 +135 + 170

         = $ 375

C) Average cost = Total cost of invenotry available for sale / units available for sale

                      =(10*7 )+(15*9) +(20 *10)+(12*11) ] / 57

                      = [70 + 135+ 200+ 132 ]/ 57

                      = 537 / 57

                       = $ 9.42 per unit

COGS =units sold *weighted average cost

            = 42 * 9.42

           = $ 395.64
