Answer to Problem 3PSB

Explanation of Solution

  1. Cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO :
  2. Using FIFO method closing inventory of 200 units will consist:

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      6th May203507000
      17th May8045036000
      25th May10045845800
      Total88,800

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory= 249,300888000=$160,500.

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory is $88,800 and cost of goods sold is $160,500 using FIFO method is $88,800.

  3. Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to LIFO method:
  4. Using LIFO method closing inventory of 200 units will consist

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      Opening Inventory15030045000
      6th May5035017500
      Total$62,500

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory= 249,300$62,500=$186,800.

    Thus, cost of assigned to ending inventory is $62,500 cost of goods sold $186,800 using LIFO method.

  5. Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to weighted average method:
  6. Weighted average cost is calculated as:

    =Total cost of goods available for saleNumber of unit available

      =249,00680=$366.62

    The total cost 200 units are:

      200×$366.62=$73,324

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory= 249,30073324=$175,976

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory $ 73324 and cost of goods sold is $175,976 using weighted average method.

  7. Cost assigned to total inventory using specific identification method:
  8. Using specific identification method closing inventory of 200 units will consist

      ParticularUnitsPer unit ($)Amount ($)
      Opening Inventory7030021000
      6th May5035017500

      Total$75,500

      Cost of goods sold= Cost of goods available for sales- ending inventory= 249,30075,500=$174,800

    Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory is $75,500 and cost of goods sold is $174,800 using specific identification method.
