20                   purchases                              200 units @ $5

25                   purchases                              200 units @ $6

Compute the cost of ending inventory under each of three methods: (a) average cost, (b) LIFO, and (c) FIFO. (Show your work)

Purchases returns & allowance      (6,000)                                   (10,000)

Freight In                                           8,500

Sales                                                                                                   274,500

Sales return & allowance                                                                (7,500)

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

(1).

(A). Caluculation of Endind Inventory:

   Begining Inventory 200

Add: Purchase 200

   Add: Purchase 200

Add: Purchase 200

Add: Purchase 200

Add: Purchase 200

Total Inventory = 1,200

Less: Sales 1,000

Ending Inventory = 2,00

(B). Using FIFO Method:

Ending Inventory 200 * 6 1,200

Cost of Goods Sold:

200 * 2 400

200 * 3 600

200 * 4 800

200 * 5 1,000

Cost of Goods Sold = 2,800

(C). Ending Inventoy 200 * 6 1,200

200 * 6 1,200

   200 * 5 1,000

   200 * 4 800

   200 * 3 600

   Cost of Goods Sold = 3,600

(3).

Company Begining Inventory 75,000

Company Purchase Inventory 10,00,000

   Company Fright- Charges 45,000

   Total Costs = 11,20,000

Company Sales 12,00,000

Profit = 80,000

   Estimated Gross Profit = 12,00,000 * 38 / 100

= 4,56,000

(4) Caluculation of Endig Inventory:

A = Cost of Begining Inventory

B = Purchases and Fright-inwords

C = Retaile Value of Begining Inventory

D = Retaile Value Goods Purchased

   = 35,000 + 1,56,500 / 65,000 + 2,55,000

   = 1,91,500 / 3,20,000

   = 0.598

Purchase Cost Retaile

   Purchase 1,62,500 2,65,000

Less: Returns 6,000 10,000

   Amount 1,56,500 2,55,000

   Ending Inventory = A + B / C + D
