Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

Number of units available for Sale = 3,990
Cost of Goods available for Sale = $18,753

Weighted-average Cost = Cost of Goods available for Sale / Number of units available for Sale
Weighted-average Cost = $18,753 / 3,990
Weighted-average Cost = $4.70

Answer 2.

FIFO:

Number of units available for Sale = 3,990
Cost of Goods available for Sale = $18,753
Number of units sold = 2,660

Units sold includes 190 units from beginning inventory, 1,520 from July 6 purchase, 760 from July 12 purchase and 190 from July 18 purchase.

Cost of Goods Sold = 190 * $4.40 + 1,520 * $4.50 + 760 * $4.80 + 190 * $4.90
Cost of Goods Sold = $12,255

Cost of Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Ending Inventory = $18,753 - $12,255
Cost of Ending Inventory = $6,498

LIFO:

Number of units available for Sale = 3,990
Cost of Goods available for Sale = $18,753
Number of units sold = 2,660

Units sold includes 950 units from July 25 purchase, 570 from July 18 purchase, 760 from July 12 purchase and 380 from July 6 purchase

Cost of Goods Sold = 950 * $4.88 + 570 * $4.90 + 760 * $4.80 + 380 * $4.50
Cost of Goods Sold = $12,787

Cost of Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Ending Inventory = $18,753 - $12,787
Cost of Ending Inventory = $5,966

Weighted-Average:

Number of units available for Sale = 3,990
Cost of Goods available for Sale = $18,753

Weighted-average Cost = Cost of Goods available for Sale / Number of units available for Sale
Weighted-average Cost = $18,753 / 3,990
Weighted-average Cost = $4.70

Number of units sold = 2,660

Cost of Goods Sold = Weighted-average Cost * Number of units sold
Cost of Goods Sold = $4.70 * 2,660
Cost of Goods Sold = $12,502

Cost of Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Ending Inventory = $18,753 - $12,502
Cost of Ending Inventory = $6,251

Answer 3.

Inventory method with highest cost of goods sold will yield least gross profit.
So, from above analysis we can say that LIFO will yield least gross profit.

Answer 4.

From above analysis, we can say that LIFO will yield lowest ending inventory.
