b- Using the FIFO method, calculate the cost of inventory on April 30th:

c- Using the weighted average method, calculate the cost of merchandise sold on April 26th:

d- Using the weighted average method, calculate the per unit cost of ending inventory and round your answer to two decimal places:

e- Using the LIFO method, calculate the cost of merchandise sold on April 26th:

f- Using the LIFO method, calculate the cost of inventory on April 30th:

April 1 Inventory 62 units at $ 20 April 10 Sale 52 units April 17 Purchase 40 units at $ 19 April 26 Sale 45 units April 28 Purchase 54 units at $ 20.50

a. Cost of merchandise sold on April 26th as per FIFO method is $865

b. Cost of inventoryon April 30th as per FiFO is $1,202

c. Cost of merchandise osld on April 26th as per Weighted average method is $864

d. Per unit cost of ending inventory as per Weighted average method is $20.39

e. Cost of merchandise sold on April 26th as per LIFO method $860

WORKING NOTES:

STORES LEDGER AS PER FIFO:

______________________________________________________________________________________

DATE                     PURCHASE                                    SALE                                      BALANCE

                       QTY         RATE        AMT         QTY        RATE     AMT          QTY       RATE      AMT            

APRIL 1                                                                                                              62            20          1,240

APRIL 10        -                 -               -                52            20        1,0140        10             20             200

                                                                                                                          40             19             760

APRIL 26       -                  -            -                   10            20         200

                                                                           35           19         665             5              19              95

APRIL 28    54                20.50    1,107              -              -            -                 5              19             95

                                                                                                                        54          20.50         1,107

FIFO : When inventory sold issue first earlist units and apply the price of those units

Cost of merchandise sold on April 26th = $200 + 665 = $865

Cost of inventory on April 30th = $95+1,107 = $1,202

2. STORES LEDGER AS PER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD :

_______________________________________________________________________________________-

DATE                         PURCHASE                                 SALE                                  BALANCE

                           QTY         RATE        AMT        QTY        RATE      AMT         QTY        RATE        AMT         

ARIL 1                                                                                                                    62              20            1,240

APRIL 10                                                              52            20         1,040           10              20               200

APRIL17             40            19             760           -               -              -                 50             19.20          960

APRIL 26            -                -                -              45            19.40     864                5             19.2             96

APRIL 28           54          20.50         1,107          -                -             -                  59            20.39        1,203     

NOTE; 1. Every time, to find unit rate,divide total amount by total units in the balance column

Cost of inventory sold on April 2th = $864

Cost of inventory on April 30th = $1,203

3. STORES LEDGER UNDER LIFO:

________________________________________________________________________________________-

DATE                 PURCHASSE                       SALE                                BALANCE

                    QTY       RATE      AMT       QTY     RATE   AMT        QTY      RATE      AMT

APRIL 17     40           19          760          -            -            -            10           20           200

                                                                                                         40           19           760

APRIL 26     -               -             -            40        19          760        -               -              -

                                                                   5        20          100          5           20         100

APRIL 30     54          20.50    1,107          -           -            -              5          20          100

                                                                                                          54        20.50    1,107                                 

NOTE: 1. Under LIFO inventroy is sold from latest units purchase,so earliest units will be the closing inventory

            2. Cost of inventory sold on April 26 will be $760+100 = $860

            3. Cost of closing inventory on April 30th will be $100+1,107 = $ 1,207
