Explanation:

Wooderson Company

Periodic inventory system

                                         Units         Unit Cost      Total Cost  

3/1 Beginning inventory      100              $40           $ 4000

3/3 Purchase                       60               $50           $ 3000

3/4 Sales                             60                  $80        $ 4800

3/10 Purchase                           200          $55      $ 11000

3/16 Sales                                  70             $90       $ 6300

3/19 Sales                               90              $90        $ 8100

3/25 Sales                              60               $90       $ 5400

3/30 Purchase                       40                $60         $ 2400

Sales = $ 4800 + $ 6300 + $ 8100 + $ 5400= $ 246,000

Ending Inventory= 120 units

FIFO Ending Inventory= $ 6800

 40 units at  $60  = $ 2400

80  units at     $55 = $ 4400

FIFO COST OF GOODS SOLD= SALES Less FIFO Ending Inventory

                                               = $ 246,000- $ 6800= $ 239,200

b) Weighted Average Inventory= (Total Cost / Total Units) Ending Units= (20,400/ 400) * 120 = $ 6120

c) LIFO Ending Inventory =  $ 5000

100  units at   $40  =         $ 4000

20 units at  $ 50= $ 1000
