Yoseff Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. For Year 5, cost of goods sold was $45,000. Beginning inventory was $5,000 and ending inventory was $6,000. If Yoseff had used the FIFO method of inventory valuation, beginning inventory would have been $8,000 and ending inventory would have been $11,000. What would Yoseff’s cost of goods sold in Year 5 have been if Yoseff had used FIFO?
LIFO method
Cost of goods sold = $45,000
Beginning inventory = $5,000
Ending inventory = $6,000
Purchases = Cost of goods sold + Ending inventory - Beginning inventory
= 45,000 + 6,000 - 5,000
= $46,000
FIFO Method
Purchases = $46,000
Beginning inventory = $8,000
Ending inventory = $11,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
= 8,000 + 46,000 - 11,000
= $43,000
Cost of Goods in years 5 if FIFO method is used = $43,000
