Explanation / Answer

From the given table, Case-A: Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases                                                                    = $12,000 + $70,000                                                                    = $82,000 Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory Ending inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold                                = $82,000 - $60,300                                = $18,900 Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold                       = $90,150 - $60,300                       = $29,850 Case-B: Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases                                                                    = $22,000 + $84,000                                                                    = $106,000 Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory                                  = $106,000 - $17,500                                  = $88,500 Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold                       = $139,800 - $88,500                       = $51,300 Case-C: Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventory Cost of goods available for sale = Cost of goods sold + Ending inventory                                                        = $375,200 + $17,800                                                        = $393,000 Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases              Purchases                        = Cost of goods available for sale - Beginning inventory                                                       = $393,000 - $153,000                                                       = $240,000 Sales - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit Sales = Cost of goods sold + Gross profit           = $375,200 + $245,700           = $620,900 Case-D:        Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale -

Cost of goods sold                               = $110,500 - $82,500                               = $28,000 a) FIFO uses the most recent current costs for the ending inventory b) LIFO is just the reverse of FIFO as it uses the most recent current costs for Cost of goods sold. c) Weighted average cost assumes that all units have the same cost. d) 1) FIFO produces highest net income 2) LIFO produces highest cost of goods sold 3) LIFO gives lowest gross profit 4) FIFO produces lowest cost of goods sold 5) FIFO gives highest gross profit 6) LIFO gives lowest net income                                                                                                                     = $22,000 + $84,000                                                                    = $106,000 Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale -
