A substantial portion of inventory owned by Prentiss Sporting Goods was recently destroyed when the roof collapsed during a rainstorm. Prentiss also lost some of its accounting records. Prentiss must estimate the loss from the storm for insurance reporting and financial statement purposes. Prentiss uses the periodic inventory system. The following accounting information was recovered from the damaged records:

     

Beginning inventory

$

195,900

Purchases to date of storm

404,600

Sales to date of storm

602,500

    

The value of undamaged inventory counted was $89,875. Historically Prentiss’ gross margin percentage has been approximately 19 percent of sales.

a.

Gross margin in dollars.

b.

Explanation / Answer

The Shirt Shop

Ending inventory = Purchases - Sales = (570 + 370 + 450 + 260) - 1320 = 1650 - 1320 = 330 t-shirts

1. FIFO

Ending inventory = (260 x $17) + (70 x $15) = $4420 + $1050 = $5470

2. LIFO

Ending inventory = 330 x $10 = $3300

3. Weighted average

Weighted average cost per unit = ($5700 + $4440 + $6750 + $4420)/(570 + 370 + 450 + 260) = $21310/1650 = $12.92

Ending inventory = 330 x $12.92 = $4263.60 = $4264
