![**Inventory Costing Methods: Overview**
In this exercise, we explore how to compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using different methods: FIFO (First-In, First-Out), LIFO (Last-In, First-Out), Weighted Average, and Specific Identification.
**Requirements:**
- Calculate the cost assigned to ending inventory from the given purchases and sales data.
- Units sold consist of 660 units from beginning inventory, with various units sold throughout different purchase periods.
- Ensure to round your average cost per unit to two decimal places.
**Instructions:**
1. **Identify Inventory Methods:**
- **Perpetual FIFO**
- **Perpetual LIFO**
- **Weighted Average**
- **Specific Identification**
2. **Complete Each Tab:**
- Compute the ending inventory costs using the specified method.
**Example Calculation Using Perpetual FIFO:**
- **Goods Purchased:**
- February 10: 330 units at $57.00 each
- **Cost of Goods Sold:**
- Beginning inventory consists of 660 units at $60.00 each.
- **Inventory Balance:**
- Calculate the remaining inventory after accounting for sales from the beginning inventory and subsequent purchases.
**Explanation:**
- Starting inventory: 660 units @ $60.00, total $39,600.00.
- After a sale, adjust the inventory balance to reflect remaining units and total cost.
This example guides you on how to apply FIFO in practice, affecting both cost calculations and inventory balances.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F64166d4c-e482-4f11-a4ed-1a99eef62872%2Feeb70381-50a1-4d54-8858-5421b8686fd1%2F26zqq4_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
