Use the information below to determine the sales revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit that would be reported for the company related to the March 16 sale assuming the company uses LIFO inventory valuation and a perpetual inventory system.
January 1: Purchased 100 units at $10 per unit
February 5: Purchased 60 units at $12 per unit
March 16: Sold 40 units for $16 per unit
Under the Last in first out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation, Cost of goods sold consists of the units from recent purchases. Ending inventory consists of the units from beginning inventory and earliest purchases.
Date | Particulars | Cost of goods purchased | Cost of goods sold | Ending inventory |
January 1 | Purchases | 100*$10 = $1,000 | 100*$10 = $1,000 | |
February 5 | Purchases | 60*$12 = $720 |
100*$10 = $1,000 60*$12 = $720 |
|
March 16 | Sales | 40*$12 = $480 |
100*$10 = $1,000 20*$12 = $240 |
Sales revenue = 40 units * $16 per unit = $640
Cost of goods sold = $480
Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold
= $640 - $480
= $160
