Transcribed Image Text:### Inventory Costing with FIFO Method
Addison, Inc. uses a perpetual inventory system. Below is information about one inventory item for the month of September.
| **Date** | **Activity** | **Quantity** | **Price per Unit** |
|----------|--------------|--------------|------------------|
| Sep. 1 | Inventory | 20 units | $20 |
| Sep. 4 | Sold | 10 units | |
| Sep. 10 | Purchased | 30 units | $25 |
| Sep. 17 | Sold | 20 units | |
| Sep. 30 | Purchased | 10 units | $30 |
#### Problem Statement:
If Addison uses FIFO (First-In, First-Out), the September 30 inventory is:
- a. $650
- b. $800
- c. $700
- d. $750
#### Explanation:
To determine the September 30 inventory using the FIFO method, follow these steps:
1. **Initial Inventory:**
- 20 units at $20 each = $400
2. **Sales on September 4:**
- Sold 10 units from the initial inventory at $20 each.
- Remaining inventory: 10 units at $20 each.
3. **Purchases on September 10:**
- Purchased 30 units at $25 each.
- Remaining inventory: 10 units at $20 each + 30 units at $25 each.
4. **Sales on September 17:**
- Sold 20 units: First 10 units at $20 each (all remaining from the initial inventory) and 10 units from the new purchase at $25 each.
- Remaining inventory: 20 units at $25 each.
5. **Purchases on September 30:**
- Purchased 10 units at $30 each.
- Remaining inventory: 20 units at $25 each + 10 units at $30 each.
**Calculate the remaining inventory value:**
- 20 units at $25 = $500
- 10 units at $30 = $300
- Total remaining inventory value = $500 + $300 = $800
Thus, the correct answer is **b. $800**.
