Answer to Problem 3PSA

cost assigned to ending inventory using FIFO is $18,400, using LIFO is $18,000, using weighted average method is $ 17156 and using specific identification method is $18,200.

Explanation of Solution

  1. Cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO :
  2. Using FIFO method closing inventory of 400 units will consist:

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      5th September 4004618,400
      Total18,400

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory=$7720018400=$58800.

    Thus, the cost assigned to ending inventory is $18,400 and the cost of goods sold is $58800 using FIFO.

  3. Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to the LIFO method:
  4. Using the LIFO method closing inventory of 200 units will consist

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      1st Jan4004518,000
      Total$18,000

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory=77200-18000= $58800.

    Thus, the cost of assigned to ending inventory is $18,000 cost of goods sold $58,800 using the LIFO method.

  5. Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to weighted-average method:
  6. The weighted average cost is calculated as:

    =Total cost of goods available for saleNumber of unit available

      =772001800=$42.89

    The total cost 400 units are:

      400×$42.89=17156

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory= 7720017156=$60044

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory $ 17156 and cost of goods sold is $60044 using weighted average method.

  7. Cost assigned to total inventory using the specific identification method:
  8. Using specific identification method closing inventory of 400 units will consist

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      10th Feb100424200
      21st Aug50502500
      5th Sept2504611500
      Total$18200

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory=77,20018,200=$59,000

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory is $18,200 and cost of goods sold is $59,000 using specific identification method.
