Inventory is also classified as a current asset in the balance sheet and it is valued by FIFO LIFO and weighted average method.
To compute: The cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO,LIFO and weighted average and specific identification.

Answer to Problem 3PSB
Explanation of Solution
- Cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO :
- Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to LIFO method:
- Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to weighted average method:
- Cost assigned to total inventory using specific identification method:
Using FIFO method closing inventory of 200 units will consist:
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
6th May | 20 | 350 | 7000 |
17th May | 80 | 450 | 36000 |
25th May | 100 | 458 | 45800 |
Total | 88,800 |
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory is $88,800 and cost of goods sold is $160,500 using FIFO method is $88,800.
Using LIFO method closing inventory of 200 units will consist
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
Opening Inventory | 150 | 300 | 45000 |
6th May | 50 | 350 | 17500 |
Total | $62,500 |
Thus, cost of assigned to ending inventory is $62,500 cost of goods sold $186,800 using LIFO method.
Weighted average cost is calculated as:
The total cost 200 units are:
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory $ 73324 and cost of goods sold is $175,976 using weighted average method.
Using specific identification method closing inventory of 200 units will consist
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
Opening Inventory | 70 | 300 | 21000 |
6th May | 50 | 350 | 17500 |
17th May | 80 | 450 | 36000 |
Total | $75,500 |
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory is $75,500 and cost of goods sold is $174,800 using specific identification method.

Answer to Problem 3PSB
Gross using FIFO methods is $636000 , using the LIFO method is $449200, using the weighted average method is $460024, and specific identification method is $461200.
Explanation of Solution
Gross profit earn by the company:
Particular | FIFO method | LIFO method | Weighted average method | Specific identification method |
Total Sales | $636000 | $636000 | $636000 | $636000 |
Cost of goods sold | $160500 | $186800 | $175976 | $174800 |
Total | $475,500 | $449200 | $460024 | $461200 |
Thus, gross using FIFO methods is $636000 , using the LIFO method is $449200, using the weighted average method is $460024, and the specific identification method is $461200.
