Please fill in the yellow outlined box.

Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using weighted average. (Round cost per unit to 2 decimal places.) Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using LIFO.

Explanation / Answer

Inventory sold = 345 units from January 25 purchase

340 units from January 20 purchase

190 units from January 10 purchase

145 units from Beginning inventory

Ending inventory = 290 units from January 30 purchase

80 units from January 20 purchase

155 units from Beginning inventory

Weighted average cost of inventory = Sum{Q(i*P(i))}/SumQ(i)

Weighted average cost of ending inventory = (290*9 + 80*10 + 155*11) / (290 + 80 + 155) = $9.74

Weighted average cost of goods sold = (345*19 + 340*10 + 190*19 + 145*11) / (345 + 340 + 190 + 145) = $14.86
