he following data are available for Sellco for the fiscal year ended on January 31, 2020:
 

           
Sales 1,600 units      
Beginning inventory 500 units @ $ 4
Purchases, in chronological order 600 units @ $ 5
  800 units @ $ 6
  500 units @ $ 8
 


Required:
a.
 Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory under the cost flow assumptions, FIFO, LIFO and weighted average (using a periodic inventory system): (Round unit cost to 2 decimal places.)


b. Assume that net income using the weighted-average cost flow assumption is $80,000. Calculate net income under FIFO and LIFO. (Round unit cost to 2 decimal places.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Calculation of COGS and ending inventory:

FIFO

COGS= (500*4)+(600*5)+(500*6)

=2000+ 3000 +3000

=$ 8000

 

Ending inventory= (300*6)+(500*8)

= 1800+4000

= $ 5800

 

LIFO

COGS= (500*8)+(800*6)+(300*5)

=4000+ 4800 +1500

=$ 10300

 

Ending inventory= (500*4)+(300*5)

= 2000+1500

= $ 3500

 

Weighted Average

Weighted average cost= Total Purchase cost/ Total units

= 13800/2400

= 5.75

 

COGS= 1600*5.75

= $9200

 

Ending inventory= 800*5.75

= $ 4600
