Answer:

                       Transactions        Units        Unit Cost   Total Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning               4,000             $ 20      80,000

b. Purchase, March 5                  10,000              21        210,000

c. Purchase, September 19          6,000             23        138,000

d. Sale, April 15                             4,500            65         292500

e. Sale, October 31                        9,000            68        612000

f. Operating expenses  $615,000

Ending Inventory Units 6,500

Cost of Good Available for Sale = 80,000+ 210,000+ 138,000= $428,000

The number of units in ending inventory = Beginning + Purchases - Sales

                                                     =4000+ 10,000+ 6000- 4,500- 9,000

                                                     = 6500

FIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 148500

6,000 units at $ 23 =$138,000

500 units at $ 21= $ 10500

FIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - FIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 148500= $ 756000

LIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 132500

4,000 units at $ 20 =$80,000

2500 units at $ 21= $ 52500

LIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - LIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 132500= $ 772000

Weighted  cost of ending inventory = ($428,000/20,000)*6500= $ 139100

Weighted cost of goods sold = Sales - Weighted  Ending Inventory

                                              =$ 904500-$ 139100= $765400

12. What happens as a result of a shortage? a. There is downward pressure on prices. b. There is upward pressure on prices. c. C
choli [55]

Answer:

Option C There is upward pressure on prices

Explanation:

The reason is that the price and supply are inversely proportional to each other. If the supply increases the prices of the product will decrease. This means that the product will increase its value if the supply of the product gets lower. Also note that the price moves upward to reach equilibrium for a level of supply. It means if the product prices increases then the supply shortage will be lowered as a result nobody will buy the product. So the supplier will have to lower price that the consumer will be willing to pay to the supplier.
