The following data is available for one of the products sold by Learning Tree, Inc., which uses the perpetual inventory system:
May 1 | On hand, 1,000 units at $2.00 each | $2,000 | ||
5 | Purchased 2,000 units at $2.75 each | 5,500 | ||
10 | Sold 2,500 units at $16 each | |||
18 | Purchased 2,000 units at $4.00 each | 8,000 | ||
24 | Sold 1,500 units at $12 each | |||
31 | On hand, 1,000 units |
If the LIFO method is used, what is the amount assigned to the ending inventory on May 30?
As per LIFO;goods purchased last are sold off first.Hence sale on May 10 would consist of 2000 units of May 5 purchases and the balance (2500-2000)=500 units of begijnning inventory.
Hence ending inventory as on May 10=500 units of begijnning inventory.
Now sales as on May 24 would consist of 1500 units of May 18 purchases.
Hence the balance of 1000 units would be=500 units of begijnning inventory+(2000-1500)units of May 18 purchases.
=(500 units@$2 each)+(500 units@$4 each)
=$3000.
