d.

Answer to Problem 14E
Cost assigned to ending inventory using LIFO method is $313.50 and of cost of goods sold is $3541.5 and FIFO method of assigning cost to inventory will yield highest net income as cost of goods cold is lowest in it.
Explanation of Solution
- Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to LIFO method:
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
1st Jan | 96 | 2 | 192 |
7th may | 54 | 2.25 | 121.50 |
Total | 313.50 |
Cost of goods sold:
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
7th May | 166 | 2.25 | 373.5 |
28th July | 544 | 2.5 | 1360 |
3rd Oct | 480 | 2.8 | 1344 |
19th Dec | 160 | 2.9 | 464 |
Total | 3541.5 |
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory using LIFO method is $313.50 and cost of goods sold is $3541.5.
FIFO method of assigning cost to inventory will yield highest Net income as cost of goods cold is lowest in it.
