Answer:

$200 (a deduction)

Explanation:

The accounting standard for inventories IAS 2 requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory will initially be recognized at the cost ( which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight ). However, its carrying amount must be reviewed to ensure it is not higher than the realizable value.

Given that the selling price is now $15 which is lower than the cost of $16, it means that the amount that can be realized from the sale of a unit is $15.

= $16 - $15

= $1

As such, an adjustment in form of a reduction of the carrying amount of $1 per unit is required. The amount of the lower cost of market adjustment the company must make as a result of this decline in value

= $1 × 200 units

= $200 (a deduction)

TransactionsUnitsUnit Cost a. Inventory, Beginning 4,000 $24 For the year: b. Purchase, March 5 10,000 25 c. Purchase, September
Komok [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Number of goods available for sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchase, March 5 + Purchase, September 19 = 4,000+10,000+6,000 = 20,000 units

Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning Cost of inventory + Cost of Purchase, March 5 + Cost of Purchase, September 19 = 4,000×24 + 10,000×25 + 6,000×27 = 96,000+250,000+162,000 = $508,000

2. Number of units in ending inventory = Number of units available for sale - Number of units sold = 20,000-4,200-9,000 = 6,800 units

3.  Calculations are attached

4.

Income statement FIFO:

Sales $937,800 (4,200×69 + 9,000×72)

Less: Cost of Goods Sold ($326,000)

Gross profit  $611,800

Less Operating expense $602,000

Net income $9,800

Income statement LIFO:

Sales $937,800 (4,200×69 + 9,000×72)

Less: Cost of Goods Sold ($342,000)

Gross profit  $595,800

Less Operating expense $602,000

Net loss $($6,200)

Income statement LIFO:

Sales $937,800 (4,200×69 + 9,000×72)

Less: Cost of Goods Sold ($334,092)

Gross profit  $603,708

Less Operating expense $602,000

Net income $1,708

**Cost of goods sold:-

Under FIFO = 96,000+5,000+225,000 = $326,000

Under LIFO = 105,000+162,000+75,000 = $342,000

Under weighted average method = 103,782+230,310 = $334,092
