Introduction:
In last in first out method, the company sold those types of goods which purchase at the end of last day purchase and sold firstly.
Calculation of cost of goods sold and ending value according to this method.
The last in, first out (LIFO) method is used to place an accounting value on inventory. The LIFO method operates under the assumption that the last item of inventory purchased is the first one sold.
To compute:
Compute cost of goods sold, the cost of ending inventory, and gross margin for each year using LIFO.

Introduction:
In average cost method, the company calculating the goods value on the average basis of all similar goods purchase by the company. The average cost method is calculated by dividing the cost dof goods purchase in inventory divided by the total number of item available for sale.
The average cost method is an inventory costing method in which the cost of every thing in an inventory is determined on the basis of the average cost of every comparative great in the inventory.
To compute:
Compute cost of goods sold, the cost of ending inventory, and gross margin for each year using Average cost method.

Explanation of Solution

Total | 1600 | 87600 |
Total unit = 100+1600=1700
Total cost = 4500+87600 = 92100
Weight average cost
Cost of goods sold = 1200
Ending inventory = total units − sold unit
=1700 − 1200 = 500
Cost of ending inventory = 500
= 27088.2
Gross margin = Total sale − cost of goods sold

For 2019
Total purchase during 2018
Date | Purchase unit | Rate | Total |
4 June | 900 | $62 | $55800 |
Total unit = 500+900=1400
Total cost = $27088.2+$55800 = $82888
Weight average cost
Cost of goods sold = 600
Ending inventory = total units − sold unit
=1400 − 600 = 800
Cost of ending inventory = 800
= $47364
Gross margin = Total sale − cost of goods sold
=600 units
= $18477.

Introduction:
A periodic inventory system is an accounting system, in this system calculating the value of goods at the end of the accounting period or in fixed period. In this system, cost of goods sold is calculated at the end the period and all entry makes in a single day. In this system account not updated day to day transactions.
Cost of goods sold (COGS) = Beginning inventory + Purchases − Ending inventory
To discuss:
Which method produces the most realistic amount paid for taxes.
Answer to Problem 73BPSB
As per the comparison of two methods the lowest profit to be taken for the purpose the tax paid.
Profit as per FIFO = 63700
Profit as LIFO = 62000
Company should adopt the LILO because profit is lowest.
Explanation of Solution
As per FIFO method
For 2018
Cost of goods sold=$63300
Cost of ending inventory = $28800
Gross margin =$44700
For 2019
Cost of goods sold=$35000
Cost of ending inventory =$49600
Gross margin = $19000
Total profit = 44700+19000=63700
As per LIFO method
For 2018
Cost of goods sold=$25300
Cost of ending inventory = $66800
Gross margin =$41200
For 2019
Cost of goods sold=$33200
Cost of ending inventory =$47900
Gross margin = $20800
Total profit = 41200+20800=62000
As per the comparison of two methods the lowest profit to be taken for the purpose the tax paid.
Profit as per FIFO = 63700
Profit as LIFO = 62000

To discuss:
Which method produces the most realistic amount for income? For inventory? Explain your answer.
Answer to Problem 73BPSB
LIFO gives the most sensible generally speaking increase regard since it facilitates the most current costs to the most present earnings. Since costs usually rise after some time, LIFOs can result in the most diminished in general increase and charges.
Explanation of Solution
LIFO gives the most reasonable overall gain esteem since it coordinates the most current expenses to the most present incomes. Since expenses ordinarily ascend after some time, LIFOs can result in the most reduced overall gain and charges.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) = Beginning inventory + Purchases − Ending inventory
In last in first out method, the company sold those types of goods which purchase at the end of last day purchase and sold firstly.
Calculation of cost of goods sold and ending value according to this method.
The last in, first out (LIFO) method is used to place an accounting value on inventory. The LIFO method operates under the assumption that the last item of inventory purchased is the first one sold.
To discuss:
What effect of purchase made later in the year on the gross margin when LIFO is employed? When FIFO is employed? Be sure to explain why any differences occur.
Answer to Problem 73BPSB
Under the LIFO method, the gross profit and ending balance amounts are lower under the Last in first out method. While, when price reduces are falling the Last-in first-out method is likely to generate higher income.
A company chooses to value its inventory effect on its gross profit.
According to the FIFO method, FIFO gives a correct valuation for ending inventory on the income statement. While FIFO increases net income and increased net incomes can increase taxes owned.
In the LIFO method, assumes the last item entering inventory is the first sold.
Explanation of Solution
A company can choose the method of inventory according to own goods.
As per FIFO, the company calculates the ending inventory, and gets effect on the gross margin. The company earns high gross earning.
Disadvantages of using LIFO, if the company uses the warehouse faculty, then LIFO is more difficult to maintain than FIFO.
LIFO is results more complex record the accounting recording.
For this purpose, most of the company maintain the inventory record using the FIFO.

Explanation of Solution
Under a periodic stock framework
In this system, inventory not updated day to day basis.
A real counting of goods which is remaining in the hand calculating at the end of accounting period.
It always maintain a specific accounting period for determine a periodic financial statement.
This may use gross method of net method, but always shows a single momentary value for each journal.
Under a perpetual stock framework,
In this system, each transaction will be recorded in detail and updated on daily basis.
During the accounting period, sale and sale return recorded are recorded in the inventory system.
In this method, each journal entry records the financial events within continuous process.
