During the month, the company made two purchases: 3000 units at $15.00 each and 12200 units at $15.50 each. Vaughn also sold 13100 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the ending inventory?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ending inventory= $144,150

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory consisted of 7200 units that cost $14.00 each.

Purchase:

3000 units at $15.00 each

12,200 units at $15.50 each.

Vaughn also sold 13,100 units during the month.

To calculate the ending inventory using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:

Ending inventory= 9,300*15.5

Ending inventory= $144,150
