Answer:
As per FIFO method , the items which are first purchased will be sold off first.
Total Sale units = 195 units + 145 units = 340 units
Accordingly out of 340 units sold
● 260 units will be from beginning inventory
● Remaining 80 units will be from may 5 purchase
Therefore ending inventory will be..
◆ 195 units will be from May 5 purchase (275 - 80)
◆ 155 units will be from May 15 purchase
Computation of cost assigned to the ending inventory
195 units from May 5 purchase(195units*$13) | $2535 |
155 units from May15 purchase (155 * $14) | $2170 |
Cost assigned to the ending inventory | $4705 |
