Answer:
A. FIFO $1,794
B. LIFO $6,326
Explanation:
(a) Computation for the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method
Value of closing Stock
93 Footballs purchased in November = 93 * $16 93 Footballs purchased in November= $1,488
18 Footballs purchased in September= (111-93)* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= 18* $17
18 Footballs purchased in September= $306
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 =$1,488+$396
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,794
Therefore the December 31, 2017, inventory using the FIFO method will be $1,794
B.) Computation for the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method.
First step is to calculate the Value of closing Stock
67 Footballs purchased in January= 67 * $28
67 Footballs purchased in January = $1,876
44 Footballs purchsed in March= (111-67)* $23
44 Footballs purchsed in March=44*$23
44 Footballs purchsed in March= $1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017=$1,876+$1,012
Total Value as on 31 December, 2017 = $2,888
Now let calculate the Cost of goods sold using this formula
Cost of goods sold
= Gross Invoice amount - Value of closing stock
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold= $9,214 - $2,888
Cost of goods sold= $6,326
Therefore the 2017 cost of goods sold using the LIFO method will be $6,326
