The total goods available for sale for the period is computed as follows:
Inventory, beg (200 @ $10) ----------------------------------------$2,000
1st Purchase (350 @ $15) ---------------------------------------------5,250
2nd Purchase (450 @ $20) ------------------------------------------9,000
3rd Purchase (100 @ $25) -------------------------------------------2,500
Total Goods Available for Sale -----------------------------------$18,750
(a) In computing the Ending Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold using FIFO method:
Total Goods Available for Sale ---------------------------------- $18,750
Less: Ending Inventory* -------------------------------------------- 4,900
Cost of Goods Sold --------------------------------------------------$13,850
*Ending Inventory
Inventory, beg ---------------------------------------------------------- 200
Total Purchases -------------------------------------------------------- 900
Total Available Units ------------------------------------------------- 1,100
Less: Units Sold ------------------------------------------------------- 880
Inventory, end --------------------------------------------------------- 220
Cost of Ending Inventory
100 × $25 = $2,500
120 × $20 = 2,400
220 $4,900
(b) In computing the Ending Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold using LIFO method:
Total Goods Available for Sale ---------------------------------- $18,750
Less: Ending Inventory* -------------------------------------------- 2,300
Cost of Goods Sold --------------------------------------------------$16,450
*Ending Inventory
Inventory, beg ---------------------------------------------------------- 200
Total Purchases -------------------------------------------------------- 900
Total Available Units ------------------------------------------------- 1,100
Less: Units Sold ------------------------------------------------------- 880
Inventory, end --------------------------------------------------------- 220
Cost of Ending Inventory
100 × $20 = $2,000
120 × $15 = 300
220 $2,300
(c) The Gross Margin for FIFO and LIFO
FIFO LIFO
Sales (880 @ $40) ------------------------$35,200 -------------------$35,200
Cost of Goods Sold ---------------------- 13,850 -------------------- 16,450
Gross Margin --------------------------------$21,350 ------------------- $18,750
