QS 6-4 Perpetual: Inventory costing with FIFO LO P1 A company reports the following beginning inventory and two purchases for th
pogonyaev

Answer:

$544

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means it's the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

The cost of the 250 units sold would be first deducted from the inventory purchased on the 25th

= 100 × 2.34 = $234

That leaves 250 - 100 = 150 units.

The cost of goods sold would be next allotted to the inventory purchased on the 9th

= 50 × 2.20 = $110

This leaves 150 - 50 = 100

The cost of the 100 would be alloted to the beginning inventory

100 × $2 = $200

Total cost of goods sold = $200 + $110 + $234 = $544
