Vaughn Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the
inventory account for the month of January, 2018 are as
follows:
Units | Per unit price | Total | |
Balance, 1/1/18 | 170 | $5.00 | $850 |
Purchase, 1/15/18 | 130 | 5.10 | 663 |
Purchase, 1/28/18 | 130 | 5.40 | 702 |
An end of the month (1/31/18) inventory showed that 220 units were
on hand. If the company uses FIFO, what is the value of the ending
inventory?
$1100
$1125
$1161
$1122
Goods sold=Beginning inventory+Purchase-Ending inventory
=170+130+130-220
=210 units
As per FIFO;ending inventory=(90 units@$5.1)+(130 units@$5.4)
=$1161
NOTE:As per FIFO;goods purchased first are sold off first.Hence 210 units sold would consist of 170 units of beginning inventory and the balance=(210-170)=40 units of 1/15/18 purchases.
Hence units in ending inventory would be=(130-40)=90 units of 1/15/18 purchases and (220-90)=130 units of 1/28/18 purchases.
