Answer:

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

Explanation:

As per LIFO method, we have Last In First Out which means the item which is last added in inventory will be sold first.

In the given instance we have things as following:

1 December       opening      15 units         $6.00 per unit           $90.00

7 December      purchased   50 units       $6.60 per unit           $330.00

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

Balance after sales

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

20 December    Purchased  30 units      $7.50 per unit              $225

29 December    Sales          15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Balance

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

15 units @ $7.50 per unit = $112.50

As stated above, under LIFO we have Last In First Out

Cost of goods sold

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

29 December    Sales           15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Total cost of goods sold in December = $297 + $112.5 = $409.5

In case periodic inventory system had been used then,

no proper record is maintained, for cost at which the goods are acquired, and therefore average method is followed, since no proper cost record is maintained.

Final Answer

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is add $72 to the book's balance.

Explanation:

Bank reconciliation is a way of identifying discrepancies between the cash book balance (company's books) and the bank balance (balance per bank statement). The discrepancies can be as a result of erroneous posting, deposit in transit, outstanding checks, etc.

In the instance of the question, there was an erroneous posting in the cash book of $72 ($480 - $408). Instead of crediting cash book by $408, it was rather credited by $480 - meaning that the credit was overstated by $72. <em>To correct this erroneous posting, we have to add back $72 to the cash book balance.</em>
