				$ 3974

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 170 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the value of the ending inventory (rounded to whole dollar) on June 30 is

Answer 1

1) Units sold = Opening + purchased - closing stock

= 230 + (110+110) - 180 = 270 Units sold

2) Average rate of inventory = Total cost of inventory / Total units

= 8030 / (220+270+270+220)

= 8.2

Value of closing inventory = Closing inventory units * avg rate

= 280*8.2 = 2296

3) In LIFO method last purchased will be sold first hence starting inventory will be in stock .

So Out of 170 units , 110 will be from opening stock while 60 will be from purchase made on june 10

Rate of june 10 inventory = Cost / units = 1136/160 = 7.1

Cost of closing inventory

Opening stock = 715

10 june (60*7.1) = 426

Total = 1141
