Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning balances in 2019:
Cash $80,000
Inventory $7,200
Common stock $2,000
Retained earnings $2,000
Description Units Unit Cost Total
Beginning inventory 400 $18 $7,200
The first purchase 1,600 $21 33,600
The second purchase 2,400 $25 60,000
Goods available 4,400 $100,800
Sales of units (4,220) $45 $189,900
Ending inventory 180
FIFO:
Ending inventory = $4,500 ($25 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,300 ($100,800 - $4,500)
LIFO:
Ending inventory = $3,240 ($18 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $97,560 ($100,800 - $3,240)
Weighted Average:
Weighted average cost per unit = $22.91 ($100,800/4,400)
Ending inventory = $4,122 (22.91 * 180)
Cost of goods sold = $96,678 ($100,800 - $4,122)
