Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Computing Cost of Sales and Ending Inventory Stocken Company has the following financial records for the current period.

Units= 100

Unitary Cost Beginning Inventory  $ 46

Purchases:

#1= 650units at  $42

#2= 550units at  $38

#3= 200units at  $36

The ending inventory is 350 units.

A) First in, first out

First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:

Units sold= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Units sold= 100 + 1400 - 350= 1150

Ending inventory= 200 units at 36 + 150 at 38= 200*36+150*38=$12900

Cost of goods sold= 100*46 + 650* 42 + 400* 38=$47100

B) Average cost= total cost of units available for sale/ number of unit

Average cost= (100*46+650*42+550*38+200*36)/1500

Average cost= $40 unit

Ending inventory= 350*40= $14,000

COGS= 1150*40= $46,000

C) Last in, first out

Ending inventory= 100 units* 46 + 250 units*42= $15,100

COGS= 200* 36 + 550*38+ 400*42= $44,900
