Question

Grays Company has inventory of 16 units at a cost of $11 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 26 units at $10 each. 18 units are sold on August 6. Using the perpetual FIFO inventory method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 18 units that were sold

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods sold is $196

Explanation:

Using FIFO inventory sold are valued at the price of the most earliest stock in inventory.

The 16 units would be valued at $11 per one while the remaining 2 units would be valued at price of the purchase made on August 3 which cost $10 each

costs of goods sold=($11*16)+($10*2)

                                =$176+$20=$196

The costs of goods sold would be $196 if FIFO method of inventory valuation is used
