Answer:

Tamarisk, Inc.

                                          FIFO         LIFO        AVERAGE-COST

Ending inventory            $13,788      $10,857           $12,303

Cost of goods sold        $47,576    $50,507          $49,062

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date            Transaction              Units      Unit Cost         Total

January 1    Beginning inventory  293          $21             $6,153

Mar. 15        Purchase                    780         $24             18,720

July 20       Purchase                     488         $25            12,200

Sept. 4       Purchase                     683         $27              18,441

Dec. 2        Purchase                     195         $30              5,850  

Total          Goods available       2,439                          $61,364

                 Units sold                  1,950

                 Ending inventory        489

FIFO:

Ending inventory

      = 195 at $30 = $5,850

        294 at $27 = $7,938

Total 489  =          $13,788

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus Cost of ending inventory = $61,364 - $13,788 = $47,576

LIFO:

Ending inventory:

293 at $21 =    $6,153

196 at $24 =     4,704

Total 489 =   $10,857

Cost of goods sold = $61,364 - $10,857 = $50,507

Weighted-Average Cost:

Weighted-average cost = Cost of goods available for sale/Units available for sale

= $61,364/2,439 = $25.16

Ending inventory = $12,303 (489 * $25.16)

Cost of goods sold = $49,062 (1,950 * $25.16)

b) The distinguishing factor among these inventory valuation methods is the assumption basis for their computations.  FIFO assumes that goods that first come into store are the first to be sold or First-in, First-out.  LIFO assumes that goods that are last in the store are the first to be sold, expressed as Last-in, First-out.  Lastly, the weighted average method uses the weighted average costs of inventories purchased at different times and prices to compute the cost of each unit.
