Answer:
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Inventory cost = $167,700 $145,600 $157,800
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Jan. 1 Inventory 1,000 units at $120 $120,000 $120,000
Feb. 17 Purchases 1,375 units at $128 176,000 296,000
July 21 Purchases 1,500 units at $136 204,000 500,000
Nov. 23 Purchases 1,125 units at $140 157,500 657,500
Dec. 31 Total units 5,000 $657,500
Dec. 31 Inventory 1,200
Dec. 31 Units sold 3,800
Inventory cost by:
FIFO ( first-in, first-out method)
July 21 Purchases 75 units at $136 $10,200
Nov. 23 Purchases 1,125 units at $140 157,500
Dec. 31 Inventory 1,200 $167,700
LIFO (last-in, first-out method)
Jan. 1 Inventory 1,000 units at $120 $120,000
Feb. 17 Purchases 200 units at $128 25,600
Dec. 31 Inventory 1,200 $145,600
Weighted-Average Cost Method
Total cost of goods available/Total units available for sale
= $657,500/5,000
= $131.50 per unit
Inventory cost = $157,800 ($131.50 * 1,200)
