Garrett Company has the following transactions during the months of April and May:

 

Date Transaction Units Cost/Unit
 
April 1 Balance 500  
      17 Purchase 200 $5.30
      25 Sale 150  
      28 Purchase 100  5.80
May 5 Purchase 250  5.30
      18 Sale 300  
      22 Sale 50  

 

The cost of the inventory on April 1 is $5, $4, and $2 per unit, respectively, under the FIFO, average, and LIFO cost flow assumptions.

Instructions:

1. Compute the inventories at the end of each month and the cost of goods sold for each month for the following alternatives:

  1. FIFO periodic
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 1 $  fill in the blank 2
    May $  fill in the blank 3 $  fill in the blank 4
  2. FIFO perpetual
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 5 $  fill in the blank 6
    May $  fill in the blank 7 $  fill in the blank 8
  3. LIFO periodic
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 9 $  fill in the blank 10
    May $  fill in the blank 11 $  fill in the blank 12
  4. LIFO perpetual (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest cent.)
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 13 $  fill in the blank 14
    May $  fill in the blank 15 $  fill in the blank 16
  5. Weighted average (Round unit costs to 4 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar.)
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 17 $  fill in the blank 18
    May $  fill in the blank 19 $  fill in the blank 20
  6. Moving average (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places and final answers to nearest dollar.)
      Cost of Goods Sold Ending Inventory
    April $  fill in the blank 21 $  fill in the blank 22
    May $  fill in the blank 23 $  fill in the blank 24


2. Reconcile the difference between the LIFO periodic and the LIFO perpetual results. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
