Answer to Problem 2PSB

The number of units in ending inventory is 5 units.

Explanation of Solution

The number of units in closing inventory is as follows:

Answer to Problem 2PSB

Cost assigned to ending inventory using FIFO is $24,000, using LIFO is $15,000, using weighted average is $ 20000 and specific Identification is $22,500.

Explanation of Solution

  1. Cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO :
  2. Using FIFO method closing inventory of 5 units will consist:

      Financial Accounting: Information for Decisions, Chapter 5, Problem 2PSB , additional homework tip  1

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory using FIFO is $24,000.

  3. Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to LIFO method:
