Laker uses a periodic inventory system. For specific identification, ending inventory consists of 525 units, where 290 are from the January 30 purchase, 80 are from the January 20 purchase, and 155 are from beginning inventory. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using (a) specific identification, (b) weighted average, (c) FIFO, and (d) LIFO.(Round your cost per unit to 3 decimal places.)

Date    Activities    Units Acquired at Cost    Units Sold at Retail
   Jan.    1        Beginning inventory 350    units @ $11.00 =3,850                   
   Jan.    10        Sales                                    190    units    @$19.00

Ending Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold

a.

Specific Identification

(290 x $9.00) + (80 x $10.00) + (155 x $11)

$5,115.00

$10,660 - $5,115

$5,545.00

b.

Weighted Average

($10,660 / 1060 units = $10.057 average cost per unit)

525 * $10.057

$5,280.00

535 * $10.057

$5,380.00

c.

FIFO

(290 x $9.00) + (235 x $10.00)

$4,960.00

(350 x $11.00) + (185 x $10.00)

$5,700.00

d.

LIFO

(350 x $11.00) + (175 x $10.00)

$5,600.00

(290 x $9.00) + (245 x $10.00)

$5,060.00
