Required:

Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20-2, and ending inventory on September 30, 20-2, under each of the following periodic inventory methods. For the weighted-average method, round the average unit cost to two decimal places. Round all final answers to the nearest dollar.

Cost of Goods Sold Cost of Ending Inventory 1. FIFO $ $ 2. LIFO $ $ 3. Weighted-average $ $ 4. Specific identification $ $

Explanation / Answer

FIFO

Cost of ending inventory

= Cost of 500 units from the 7th purchase + Cost of 300 units from the 6th purchase + Cost of 100 units for the 5th purchase

= 500 units x $21.75 per unit + 300 units x $21 per unit + 100 units x $19 per unit

= $19075

Cost of goods sold

= cost of goods available for sale – cost of ending inventory

= $72400 - $19075

= $53325

LIFO

Cost of ending Inventory

= Cost of 400 units from beginning inventory + cost of 300 units from the 1st purchase + cost of 200 units from the 2nd purchase

= 400 units x $15/unit + 300 units x $16.50 per unit + 200 units x $17/unit

= $14350

Cost of goods sold

= cost of goods available for sale – cost of ending inventory

= $72400 - $14350

= $58050

Weighted Average:

Weighted average cost per unit

= (Total cost of the units available for sale)/ total number of units available for sale

= $72400 / 4000 units

= $18.10 / unit

Cost of the ending inventory = 900 units x $18.10 / unit = $16290

Cost of goods sold

= Cost of goods available for sale – cost of ending inventory

= $72400 - $16290

= $56110

Specific Identification Method:

Cost of ending inventory

= 50 units from beginning inventory + 300 units from 3rd purchase + 100 units from 4th purchase + 200 units from 5th purchase + 50 units from 6th purchase + 200 units from 7th purchase

= 50 * $15/unit + 300 x $17.25/unit + 100 units x $18/unit + 200 units x $19/unit + 50 units x $21 / unit + 200 units x $21.75/unit

= $16925

Cost of goods sold

= Cost of goods available for sale – cost of ending inventory

= $72400 - $16925

=$55475
