Question

REC Tire Company completed the following perpetual inventory transactions during the month of May:

May 1 Beginning invetntory 16 tires @ $65 each

May 11 purchased 10 tires @ $75 each

May 23 sold 12 tires at $90 each

May 26 purchased 14 tires at $80 each

May 29 sold 15 tires at $80 each

In the partially completed schedules provided below, show :

1. the cost of goods sold for each of the sales; and

2. the value of the inventory on hand after each sale

using the FIFO method, the LIFO method and the weighted average methods for valuing inventory. For the weighted average method, also show the average cost per unit used to compute the cost of goods sold and the inventory after the sale, rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal points). Thus your answer should show for each inventory costing method, two cost of goods sold figures (one for each sale) and two inventory values (one after for each sale). Use the schedules below for your answers. The cells for the required answers are shaded but you may use the other unshaded cells for interim figures if it will help in calculating your answers.   Please show only the total values, not the cost and quantities of the individual cost layers of the inventories or goods sold. The first answer has been computed to illustrate the form of answer required.
