| Date | Units | Unit Cost | Total Cost |
|-------------|-------|-----------|------------|
| Beginning Inventory | January 1 | 100 | $75 | $7,500 |
| Purchase | January 15 | 360 | $95 | $34,200 |
| Purchase | January 24 | 240 | $115 | $27,600 |
**Required:**
1. Calculate the number and cost of goods available for sale.
2. Calculate the number of units in ending inventory.
3. Calculate the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold using the:
- (a) FIFO (First-In, First-Out)
- (b) LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)
- (c) Weighted Average Cost methods.
Expert Solution

Step 1: Explanation of all three methods
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method: Inventory is sold in the order it was purchased, with the oldest items sold first.
LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method: The most recently acquired inventory is sold first.
Weighted Average method: Inventory cost is determined by averaging the costs of all units, resulting in a consistent cost per unit.
