Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, what is the company’s gross profit using FIFO? (rounded to whole dollars)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Gross profit = $2,788

Explanation:

• Feb. 1         Purchase    110 units     $46 per unit
• March 14    Purchase    190 units    $48 per unit
• May 1         Purchase     135 units   $ 50 per unit

312 units were sold at $64 per unit, tax rate is 30%

Using FIFO, what is the company's gross profit? We first calculate COGS

Cost of goods sold - 312 units:

• 110 units at $46 per unit = $5,060
• 190 units at $48 per unit = $9,120
• 60 units at $50 per unit = $3,000

Total COGS = $17,180
