| April 14 | Sold (80 unties @ $550) | ||
| April 23 | Purchased | 20 | 350 |
| April 29 | Sold (40 unites @ $550) |
Solution
Solution:
(a) weighted-average cost per unit = Total cost / total units
= (120 x330 + 40 x345+ 20x 350) / (120 + 40 + 20)
= $60,400 / 180
= $335.56
cost of goods sold = units sold x $335.56 = 120 x $335.56 = $40,267.20
ending inventory cost = units the end x $335.56 = 60x $335.56 = $20,133.60
(b) FIFO method
cost of goods sold = 80 x $330 + 40 x $330 = $39,600
ending inventory cost = 40 x$345 +20 x $350 = $20800
(c) LIFO method
cost of goods sold = 40 x $345 + 40 x $330 + 20 x $350 + 20 x $330 =$40,600
ending inventory cost = 60 x $330 = $19,800
