is FIFO. |
is LIFO. |
is weighted average. |
cannot be determined from the information given. |
OPTION C------ WEIGHTED AVERAGE
Calculation of COGS under different 3 methods
FIFO
Out of opening inventory----390*4=1560
LIFO
Out of purchases---310*9 =2790
Out of opening stock----80*4=320
Total =3110
Weighted average
Weighted average per unit =470*4 +2790/(470+310) =5.98
COGS= 390*5.98 =2332
Calculation of gross profit under all methods
FIFO | LIFO | Weighted avg | |
Sales | 4290 | 4290 | 4290 |
Less- COGS | 1560 | 3110 | 2332 |
Gross Profit | 2730 | 1180 | 1958 |
Therefore, weighted average is answer
