Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 48 $40 $1,920

Apr. 7 Purchase 128 42 5,376

Jul. 16 Purchase 198 45 8,910

Oct. 6 Purchase 108 46 4,968

For the entire year, the company sells 427 units of inventory for $58 each.

Ending inventory units= 482 - 427= 55

1)

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the lasts units remaining in inventory.

Ending inventory= 55*46= $2,530

COGS= 48*40 + 128*42 + 198*45 + 53*46= $18,644

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,644= $6,122

2)

Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the firsts units remaining in inventory.

Ending inventory= 48*40 + 7*42= $2,214

COGS= 108*46 + 198*45 + 121*42= $18,960

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,960= $5,806

3)

First, we need to calculate the weighted-average cost:

weighted-average cost= (40 + 42 + 45 + 46) / 4= $43.25

Ending inventory= 55*43.25= $2,378.75

COGS= 427*43.25= $18,467.75

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,467.75= $6,298.25
