Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 48 $40 $1,920
Apr. 7 Purchase 128 42 5,376
Jul. 16 Purchase 198 45 8,910
Oct. 6 Purchase 108 46 4,968
For the entire year, the company sells 427 units of inventory for $58 each.
Ending inventory units= 482 - 427= 55
<u>1)</u>
<u>Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the lasts units remaining in inventory.</u>
Ending inventory= 55*46= $2,530
COGS= 48*40 + 128*42 + 198*45 + 53*46= $18,644
Revenue= 427*58= $24,766
Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,644= $6,122
<u>2)</u>
<u>Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the firsts units remaining in inventory.</u>
<u></u>
Ending inventory= 48*40 + 7*42= $2,214
COGS= 108*46 + 198*45 + 121*42= $18,960
Revenue= 427*58= $24,766
Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,960= $5,806
<u>3)</u>
<u>First, we need to calculate the weighted-average cost:</u>
weighted-average cost= (40 + 42 + 45 + 46) / 4= $43.25
Ending inventory= 55*43.25= $2,378.75
COGS= 427*43.25= $18,467.75
Revenue= 427*58= $24,766
Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,467.75= $6,298.25
