Using LIFO, what is the amount of Cost of Goods Sold A) $117,000 B) $91,000 C) $107,000 D) $115,000 solve

Answer 1

Answer:

D) $115,000

Explanation:

beginning 5,000 at cost of       $  35,000

purchase 12,000 at $9 each = $ 108,000

total units  available for sale 17,000

ending                                    (4,000)  

sold units:                              13,000

Under LIFO we first sale the newest units those are the purchased ones.

we will sale the 12,000 purchased unit  --> $108,000

13,000 - 12,000 = 1,000 there is still 1000 more unit to sale oso we take themfrom beginning inventory

and 1000 of the beginning inventory:

35,000 / 5,000 x 1,000 =  7,000

total cogs = 108,000 +7,000 = 115,000
