Using the perpetual inventory system, please calculate both ending inventory and cost of goods sold :

a. FIFO b. LIFO c. Moving/weighted average

Explanation / Answer

a. FIFO

Cost of goods sold = 600 x 10 + 400 x 10 + 500 x 11 + 600 x 15 + 1200 x 15 + 200 x 15 + 800 x 14 + 100 x 16

= 58300

Closing inventory = 2900 x 16 + 1200 x 15.50

= 65000

b. LIFO

Cost of goods sold = 1200 x 15.50 + 3000 x 16 + 400 x 14

= 72200

Closing inventory = 10000 + 5500 + 30000 + 400 x 14

= 51100

c. Weighted average

Cost of goods sold = 113300/8500 x 4600 = 61315

Ending inventory = 113300/8500 x 3900 = 51985
