Question

Consider the following information for Maynor Company, which uses a periodic inventory system:

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 1 Beginning Inventory 29 $79 $2,291

March 28 Purchase 39 $85 3,315

August 22 Purchase 58 $89 5,162

October 14 Purchase 63 $95 5,985

The company sold 63 units on May 1 and 58 units on October 28.

First, we need to calculate the units in ending inventory:

Ending inventory in units= 189 - 121= 68

To calculate the ending inventory under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.

Ending inventory= 63*95 + 5*89= $6,430

COGS= 29*79 + 39*85 + 53*89= $10,323

To calculate the ending inventory under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the first units incorporated into the inventory

Ending inventory= 29*79 + 39*85= $5,606

COGS= 63*95 + 58*89= $11,147

Finally, to calculate the ending inventory using the weighted-average, we need to calculate the weighted average price:

weighted average price= 16,753/189= $88.64

Ending inventory= 68*88.64= $6,027.52

COGS= 121*88.64= $10,725.44
