Explanation / Answer

Working: A B C D=B*C Date No of Tents Rate Total Value 01-Jul 66 23 1518 04-Jul 105 25 2625 19-Jul 157 27 4239 25-Jul 37 28 1036 Total (1) 365 9418 Sale (2) 310 53 16430 Ending Inventory 3=1-2 55 1. Cost of Goods Sold and Ending inventory Average Cost: Total No. of tents 365 From Above working Tents Value 9418 From Above working Average Cost 25.8027 Tent value/No of tents Ending inventory amount 1419.1507 55*25.8027 Cost of goods sold 7998.8493 310*25.8027 FIFO Cost: Since ending inventory is 55 and under FIFO, inventory has to be from latest purchase, hence: 37 @ 28 Latest Purchase 18 @ 27 Balance (55-37) from second last purchase Ending inventory amount 1522.0000 (37*18)+(18*27) Cost of goods sold 7896.0000 Total 9418-Inventory value 1522 LIFO Cost: Since ending inventory is 55 and under LIFO, inventory has to be from first purchase, hence: 55 @ 23 First Purchase Ending inventory amount 1265.0000 55*23 Cost of goods sold 8153.0000 Total 9418-Inventory value 1265 2.
