Explanation / Answer

1)Total units purchased in 2012=5800.

Closing stock=3000

Total goods sold will be 2800

As per last in first out method basis 2800 units will be calculated as under:

August 1=800

June 1=2000

Clsoing inventory will be

June 1=300

April 1=1200

February 1=1000

November 1=500

Cost of goods avaliable for sale 5800 units.

Cost of goods sold=Opening Stock+purchases-Clsoing stock

=0+5800-3000=2800

2)Average of unit cost per unit=21600/800=27

Cost og goods sold=2800*27= $75600

Ending inventory=3000*27= $81000

Units avaliable for sale=5800*27=$156600

3)When you overstate ending inventory, this reduces the amount of inventory that would otherwise have been charged to the cost of goods soldduring the period, so that the cost of goods sold expense declines in the current reporting period. You can see this with the following formula that is used to derive the cost of goods sold:
