Instructions:

1.  Determine the cost of the inventory on December 31, 20Y7, by the first-in, first-out method.

If the inventory of a particular model comprises one entire purchase plus a portion of another purchase acquired at a different unit cost, use a separate line for each purchase. Under FIFO, if a model is in inventory at two different costs, enter the remaining units that were purchased most recently first.

First-In, First-Out Method
Model Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
A10 fill in the blank 1 $fill in the blank 2 $fill in the blank 3
  fill in the blank 4  fill in the blank 5  fill in the blank 6
B15 fill in the blank 7  fill in the blank 8  fill in the blank 9
  fill in the blank 10  fill in the blank 11  fill in the blank 12
E60 fill in the blank 13  fill in the blank 14  fill in the blank 15
G83 fill in the blank 16  fill in the blank 17  fill in the blank 18
J34 fill in the blank 19  fill in the blank 20  fill in the blank 21
M90 fill in the blank 22  fill in the blank 23  fill in the blank 24
  fill in the blank 25  fill in the blank 26  fill in the blank 27
Q70 fill in the blank 28  fill in the blank 29  fill in the blank 30
  fill in the blank 31  fill in the blank 32  fill in the blank 33
  Total     $fill in the blank 34

2.  Determine the cost of the inventory on December 31, 20Y7, by the last-in, first-out method, following the procedures indicated in (1). Under LIFO, if a model is in inventory at two different costs, enter the remaining units that were purchased earliest first.

Last-In, First-Out Method
Model Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
A10 fill in the blank 35 $fill in the blank 36 $fill in the blank 37
  fill in the blank 38  fill in the blank 39  fill in the blank 40
B15 fill in the blank 41  fill in the blank 42  fill in the blank 43
E60 fill in the blank 44  fill in the blank 45  fill in the blank 46
  fill in the blank 47  fill in the blank 48  fill in the blank 49
G83 fill in the blank 50  fill in the blank 51  fill in the blank 52
  fill in the blank 53  fill in the blank 54  fill in the blank 55
J34 fill in the blank 56  fill in the blank 57  fill in the blank 58
  fill in the blank 59  fill in the blank 60  fill in the blank 61
M90 fill in the blank 62  fill in the blank 63  fill in the blank 64
  fill in the blank 65  fill in the blank 66  fill in the blank 67

  fill in the blank 74  fill in the blank 75  fill in the blank 76
  Total     $fill in the blank 77

3.  Determine the cost of the inventory on December 31, 20Y7, by the average cost method.

Average Cost Method
Model Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
A10 fill in the blank 78 $fill in the blank 79 $fill in the blank 80
B15 fill in the blank 81  fill in the blank 82  fill in the blank 83
E60 fill in the blank 84  fill in the blank 85  fill in the blank 86
G83 fill in the blank 87  fill in the blank 88  fill in the blank 89
J34 fill in the blank 90  fill in the blank 91  fill in the blank 92
