Joe's Shoes, Inc. uses a perpetual inventory system. The
company's beginning inventory of a particular product and its
purchases during the month of January were as follows:
Beginning Inventory (Jan.1) 16 widgets @ $10
Purchase Jan. 11 14 widgets @ $12
Sale Jan. 14 25 widgets @ $25
Purchase Jan. 20 23 widgets @ $15
Sale Jan. 25 3 widgets @ $25
Calculate End. Inventory under LIFO
COGS=165
Beg Inventory+Purchases-COGS
160+168+345-165=508 ending inventory
LIFO: Under the LIFO method, it is assumed that the goods purchased last are the goods sold first. So the ending inventory would represent the goods which are purchased first in point of time.
