Cost is determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Cork has determined that, at December 31, the replacement cost of its inventory was $8.20 per unit and the net realizable value was $9.00 per unit. Cork’s normal profit margin is $1.10 per unit. Cork maintains inventory on a periodic method. Prepare Cork’s cost of goods sold, with a supporting schedule of ending inventory. Cork uses the direct method of reporting losses from any market decline of inventory.

Explanation / Answer

Using periodic Inventory System Ending Inventory = 26000 Units ( 10000 Units (Op. Inventory) + 55000 Units (purchases) - 39000 Units (Sales)) Value of Inventory Under LIFO Method Units Cost Total Cost Op. Inventory            10,000                  8.30            83,000 Qtr Ended Mar-31            16,000                  7.35          117,600 Total            26,000          200,600 Cost of Inventory at Market Value Units Cost Total Cost Total 26000 8.2 213200 Value of Inventory - Cost or market value, which ever is lower So, Value of Ending Inventory is $200600 Schedule of Cost of Goods sold Opening Inventory              83,000 Add: Purchases          437,100 Less: Purchase Discount          (22,000)           415,100 Freight In                6,000 Less : Ending inventory         (200,600) Cost of Goods Sold           303,500 No Journal Entry required to adjust the Cost of Ending Inventory
