Answer:

The firm Should decrease the output.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. The value of ending Inventory using FIFO is $2749.

b. The value of ending Inventory using LIFO is $2667.

c. The value of ending Inventory using Average Cost method is $2713.


We have:

Date     Explanation       Units      unit cost   Total Cost


Sep-01         inv                 11              97                1067


Sep-12 purchases        44               100              4400


Sep-19 purchases         47               101              4747


Sep-26 purchases         22               102              2244


Total                                 124                                  12458


Novak sold 97 snowboards, so the number of snowboards with it at the end of September is 124 -97 = 27 units.

If Novak adopts First In First Out (FIFO) method, and 27 units are remaining, all 22 units purchased on Sept-26th and 27 -22 = 5 units from the purchases made on Sept-19th will remain in inventory.

So the value of inventory using FIFO will be (22* 102) + (5*101) = 2749

If Novak adopts Last In First Out (LIFO) method, all 11 units in inventory on  Sept-01st and 27 -11 = 16 units from the purchases made on Sept-12th will remain in inventory.

Hence inventory value using LIFO will be (11* 97) + (16*100) = 2667

We calculate the Average cost by dividing the Total Cost by total number of units purchased.

Average Cost = \frac{12458}{124} = 100.468

The value of inventory using the average cost method is 100.648 * 27 =2713.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The answer is $215,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold equal:

Opening/beginning inventory plus purchases minus closing/ending inventory

To find beginning inventory at January 1, 2018, lets rearrange the formula:

Cost of goods sold minus plus purchases plus closing/ending inventory.

Cost of sales is $470,000

Purchases is $415,000

Ending inventory is $160,000

Therefore, beginning inventory at January 1, 2018 is

$470,000 - $415,000 + $160,000

=$215,000
