Given the following:
Number purchased |
Cost per unit |
Total | ||||
January 1 inventory | 34 | $ | 4 | $ | 136 | |
April 1 | 54 | 7 | 378 | |||
June 1 | 44 | 8 | 352 | |||
November 1 | 49 | 9 | 441 | |||
181 | $ | 1,307 | ||||
a. Calculate the cost of ending inventory using the LIFO (ending inventory shows 55 units).
b. Calculate the cost of goods sold using the LIFO
(ending inventory shows 55 units).
a.Cost of ending inventory=(34 units@$4)+(21 units@$7)
=$307
b.Units sold=Beginning inventory+Purchases-Ending inventory
=181-55 units
=126 units
Hence cost of goods sold using the LIFO=(49 units@$9)+(44 units@$8)+(33 units@$7)
=$1024
As per LIFO;goods purchased last are sold off first.Hence 55 units of ending inventory would comprise of 34 units of beginning inventory and the balance(55-34)=21 units @$7 each of April1.
Cost of goods sold of 126 units would comprise of 49 units@$9 of November 1;44 units @$8 each purchased on June 1 and the balance (126-49-44)=33 units@$7 of April 1.
