Question

P6-3B Walz Company had a beginning inventory of 400 units of Product Ribo $8 per unit, During the year, purchases were: Determine cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost with analysis. at a cost of Feb. 20 May 5 600 units at $9 500 units at $10 Aug. 12 Dec. 8 300 units at $11 200 units at $12 (LO 2) Walz Company uses a periodic inventory system. Sales totaled 1,500 units. (a) Determine the cost of goods available for sale. (b) Determine (1) the ending inventory and (2) the cost of goods sold under each of the Cost of goods sold: FIFO LIFO Average $14,475 (b) assumed cost flow methods (FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost). Prove the accu cost of goods sold under the FIFO and LIFO methods. $13,600 $15,200 (c) Which cost flow method results in (1) the lowest inventory amount for the b alance sheet, and (2) the lowest cost of goods sold for the income statement?

Explanation / Answer

a. Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased

= (400*8) + [(600*9) + (300*11) + (500*10) + (200*12)]

= 3,200 + 5,400 + 3,300 + 5,000 + 2,400

= 19,300

b. FIFO method

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

300 * 11 = 3,300

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

300 * 11 = 3,300

200 * 12 = 2,400

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

300 * 11 = 3,300

200 * 12 = 2,400

LIFO method

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

300 * 11 = 3,300

400 * 8 = 3,200

600 * 9 = 5,400

500 * 10 = 5,000

300 * 11 = 3,300

200 * 12 = 2,400

200 * 12 = 2,400

300 * 11 = 3,300

500 * 10 = 5,000

500 * 9 = 4,500

400 * 8 = 3,200

100 * 9 = 900

Cost per unit under weighted average method = Cost of units available for sale / No of units available for sale

= [(400 * 8) + (600 * 9) + (500 * 10) + (300 * 11) + (200 * 12)] / (400 + 600 + 500 + 300 + 200)

= (3,200 + 5,400 + 5,000 + 3,300 + 2,400) / 2,000

= 9.65

1.

Ending inventory under FIFO method = (300 * 11) + (200 * 12) = 5,700

Ending inventory under LIFO method = (400 * 8) + (100 * 9) = 4,100

Ending inventory under average cost method = (No of available for sale - No of units sold) * cost per unit   

= (2,000 - 1,500) * 9.65 = 4,825

2.

Cost of goods sold under FIFO method = (400 * 8) + (600 * 9) + (500 * 10) = 13,600

Cost of goods sold under LIFO method = (200 * 12) + (300 * 11) + (500 * 10) + (500 * 9) = 15,200

Cost of goods sold under Weighted average method = 1,500 * 9.65 = 14,475

c.

1. LIFO method results in the lowest inventory for the Balance sheet as the prices are risisng

2. FIFO method results in the lowest cost of goods sold on the Income statement as the prices are rising
