Ending Inventory:
a. Specific Identification:
Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230
March 9 purchase 2 * $250 = 500
March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520
March 30 Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240
Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490
Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory
= $11,940 - $3,490
= $8,450
b. FIFO:
March 22 Purchase 5 260 1,300
March 30 Purchase 8 280 2,240
Ending Inventory 13 $3,540
Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory
= $11,940 - $3,540
= $8,400
c. LIFO:
Ending Inventory:
March 1 Inventory 13 $230 $2,990
Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory
= $11,940 - $2,990
= $8,950
d) Weighted -Average Cost:
Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75
Cost of Goods Sold = $248.75 * 35 = $8,706.25
