Perpetual Inventory System:
1. Cost of Goods Available for Sale and Units Available for Sale:
Mar. 1 Beginning inventory 60 units $50.20 per unit $3,012
Mar. 5 Purchase 205 units $55.20 per unit 11,316
Mar. 18 Purchase 65 units $60.20 per unit 3,913
Mar. 25 Purchase 110 units $62.20 per unit 6,842
Available for Sale 440 units Cost = $25,083
2. The number of units in ending inventory:
Units Available for Sale 440
Subtract units sold 310
Ending Inventory 130 units
3. The Cost assigned to ending inventory using:
a) FIFO: Ending Inventory
20 units at $60.20 per unit = $1,204
110 units at $62.20 per unit = 6,842
Ending Inventory $8,046
b) LIFO: Ending Inventory
Mar. 1 Beginning Inventory 45 units $50.20 per unit = $2,259
Mar. 18 Purchase 65 units $60.20 per unit = 3,913
Mar. 25 Purchase 20 units $62.20 per unit = 1,244
Ending Inventory 130 units Cost = $7,416
c) Weighted Average: Ending Inventory
Cost of Goods Available for Sale divided by units available for sale
= $25,083/440 = $57 per unit
Ending Inventory = $57 x 130 = $7,410
d) Specific Identification: Ending Inventory
This cannot be answered from the information provided in the question:
4. Gross Profit for each costing method:
FIFO LIFO WEIGHTED SPECIFIC
AVERAGE IDENTIFICATION
Sales $27,312 $27,312 $27,312 $27,312
Cost of Sales 17,037 17,667 17,670
Gross Profit $10,275 $9,645 $9,642
Explanation:
a) Sales:
Mar. 9 Sales 220 units $85.20 per unit = $18,744
Mar. 29 Sales 90 units $95.20 units = 8,568
Total = $27,312
b) Cost of Sales:
i) FIFO
Mar 1. Beginning inventory 60 units $50.20 per unit = $3,012
Mar. 5 Purchase 205 units $55.20 per unit = 11,316
Mar. 18 Purchase 45 units $60.20 = 2,709
Cost of Sales = $17,037
ii) LIFO:
Mar. 1 Beginning inventory 15 units $50.20 per unit = $753
Mar. 5 Purchase 205 units $55.20 per unit = $11,316
Mar. 25 Purchase 90 units $62.20 per unit = $5,598
Cost of Sales = $17,667
iii) Weighted Average:
Cost of Sales = $57 x 310 = $17,670
c) Calculations under the specific identification cannot be made because of the figures given under this method.
