Units Unit Cost January 1, 2011 (beginning inventory) 1,700 $17.00 Purchases: January 5, 2011 2,600 $20.00 January 25, 2011 2,400 $21.00 February 16, 2011 1,000 $22.00 March 15, 2011 2,100 $25.00 A physical inventory on March 31, 2011, shows 3,000 units on hand. Instructions: Prepare schedules to compute the ending inventory at March 31, 2011, under each of the following inventory methods. (a) FIFO (b) LIFO (c) Weighted-average Show supporting computations in good form.

Explanation / Answer

a)Under FIFO the most recent purchases are in inventory so 2,100 @ 25= 52,500 900 @ 22= 19,800 Inventory 72,300 b) Under LIFO the oldest purchases are in inventory so 1,700 @ 17= 28,900 1,300 @ 20= 26,000 Inventory 54,900 c) Under weighted average we take an average cost so 1700* 17 +2600*20 +2400*21+1,000*22 +2100*25= 205,800 205,800/9,800= 21 Inventory is 3,000*21= 63,000
