fill the blank

Tempo Ltd. is a retailer operating in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Tempo uses the perpetual inventory method. All sales returns from customers result in the goods being returned to inventory; the inventory is not damaged. Assume that there are no credit transactions; all amounts are settled in cash. You are provided with the following information for Tempo Ltd. for the month of January 2014. For each of the following cost flow assumptions, calculate (i) cost of goods sold, (ii) ending inventory, and (iii) gross profit. (1) FIFO. (2) Moving-average cost.

Explanation / Answer

FIFO

Cost of goods Sold=16825

Ending Inventory=Total Purchase cost-Cost of goods sold

Ending Inventory=20425-16825=3600

Gross Profit=Total revenue-Cost of goods sold=37875-16825=21050

Moving Average

Total Unit Sold=375-25+125+400=875 unit

Total unit Available=375+250+188-38+250=1025

Balance=1025-875

Average cost= Total Purchase cost /Units Available=20425/1025=19.927

Cost of goods sold=Unit sold*Average cost=875*19.927=17436.125=17436

Ending Inventory=Balance unit*Average cost=150*19.927=2989.05=2989

Gross Profit= Total revenue-Cost of goods sold=37875-17436.125=20438.875=20439
