                April       8                                80 tents @ $20 = $1,600

                                   19                        140 tents @ $25 =   3,500

                                  26                          80 tents @ $30 =   2,400

Robinett Camping Surplus sold 307 tents, and at April 30, the ending inventory consists of 93 tents. The sale price of each tent was $50.

REQ 3

NOTE: COGS is taken as per LIFO method

REQ 1

Valuation of Closing Inventory under Average Cost

Date Quantity Rate Amount 1-Apr 100 15 1500 8-Apr 80 20 1600 19-Apr 140 25 3500 26-Apr 80 30 2400 400 9000 Weighted avg cost 22.5 Closing Stock Value = 93 x 22.5 2092.5 Valuation of Closing Inventory under FIFO Since old stock are sold first therefore all closing units will be valued at last two rates 13 tents @ Rs 25 325 80 tents @ Rs 30 2400 2725 Valuation of Closing Inventory under LIFO Since new stock are sold first therefore all closing units will be valued at first rate i.e rate of op. stock 93 tents @ Rs15 1395 1395
