Table (1)

Computation of ending inventory under FIFO cost flow method is as follows:

FIFOUnitsUnit CostEnding Inventory
Second Purchase60 Table (4)$160$9,600

Table (2)

Explanation of Solution

First-in-First-Out: In First-in-First-Out method, the costs of the initially purchased items are considered as cost of goods sold, for the items which are sold first. The value of the ending inventory consists of the recent purchased items.

Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold is the accumulate total of all direct cost incurred in manufacturing the goods or the products which has been sold during a period. Cost of goods sold involves direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overheads.

Ending Inventory: It represents the quantity and price of the goods unsold and laying at the store at the end of a particular period.

Table (5)

Explanation of Solution

Last-in-Last-Out: In Last-in-First-Out method, the costs of last purchased items are considered as the cost of goods sold, for the items which are sold first. The value of the closing stock consists of the initial purchased items.

Working note 4: Calculate income tax expense amount:

Income tax expense=Income before tax×Tax rate =$28,0000×25100=$7,000

a. 3

To determine

Compute the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory under weighted average cost flow method.

Answer to Problem 33P

Compute the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory under weighted average cost flow method as follows:

Weighted averageUnitsUnit CostTotal cost
Cost of goods sold400$148.69$59,476.0
Ending inventory60$148.69$8,921.4

Table (6)

Note: Refer working note 5 for unit cost.

Explanation of Solution

Weighted-average cost method:  Under Weighted average cost method, the company calculates a new average cost after every purchase is made. It is determined by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the units on hand.

Working note 5: Determine average unit cost:

Average Unit cost=Goods avaivable for saleTotal Units=$68,400 Table(4)460=$148.69

Working note 6: Calculate income tax expense amount:

Income tax expense=Income before tax×Tax rate =$28,524×25100=$7,131
