Answer to Problem 4PSB
Cost of goods available for is $249,300 and number of units available for sale is 680
Explanation of Solution
Cost of goods available for sale and number of units available for sale is as follows:
Date | Particular | Units | Per unit cost | Total cost |
1st May | Opening inventory | 150 | 300 | 45000 |
6th May | Purchase | 350 | 350 | 122500 |
17th May | Purchase | 80 | 450 | 36000 |
25th May | purchase | 100 | 458 | 45800 |
Total | 680 | 249,300 |
Thus, cost of goods available for is $249,300 and number of units available for sale is 680
Thus the cost assigned to ending inventory under FIFO method is $88800.

Introduction:
Inventory is a record of finished goods of a company which they can sell to the customer, work in progress which can be transformed into finish goods and raw material which is a means of production. Inventory is also classified as a current asset in the balance sheet and it is valued by FIFO LIFO and weighted average method.
To calculate: Cost assigned to ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO method.

Answer to Problem 4PSB
Cost assigned to ending inventory under FIFO method is $88800, under LIFO method is $62500, using weighted average method is $75600, using specific identification method is $$74,500
Explanation of Solution
- Cost assigned under FIFO method:
- LIFO method:
Thus the cost assigned to ending inventory under FIFO method is $88800.
Thus the cost assigned to ending inventory under LIFO method is $62500.
- Calculating the assigned amount of ending inventory according to weighted average method:
- Cost assigned to total inventory using specific identification method:
Date | Particular | Unit | Cost per unit | Total | Balance inventory | ||
Units | Cost per unit | Total cost | |||||
1st May | Opening balance | 150 | 300 | 45000 | 150 | 300 | 45000 |
6th may | Purchase | 350 | 350 | 122500 | 500 | 335 | 167500 |
9th may | Sales | 180 | 335 | 60300 | 320 | 335 | 107200 |
17th may | Purchase | 80 | 450 | 3600 | 400 | 358 | 143200 |
25th may | Purchase | 100 | 458 | 45800 | 500 | 378 | 189000 |
30th may | Sales | 300 | 378 | 113400 | 200 | 378 | 75600 |
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory using weighted average method is $75600
Using specific identification method closing inventory will consist
Particular | Units | Per unit ($) | Amount ($) |
Opening Inventory | 70 | 300 | 21000 |
6th May | 50 | 350 | 17500 |
17th May | 80 | 450 | 36000 |
Total | $74,500 |
Thus, cost assigned to ending inventory using specific identification method is $$74,500

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 gross profit earn by the company is cost assigned to ending inventory for the company A using FIFO,LIFO and weighted average and specific identification.

Answer to Problem 4PSB
Gross using FIFO methods is $636000 , using LIFO method is $449200, using weighted average method is $460024, and specific identification method is $461200.
Explanation of Solution
Gross profit earn by the company:
Cost of Goods sold:
For FIFO method
For LIFO methods
For weighted average method:
For specific identification:
Particular | FIFO method | LIFO method | Weighted average method | Specific identification method |
Total Sales | $636000 | $636000 | $636000 | $636000 |
Cost of goods sold | $160500 | $186800 | $173700 | $174800 |
Total | $475,500 | $449200 | $462300 | $461200 |
Thus, gross using FIFO methods is $636000 , using LIFO method is $449200, using the weighted average method is $460024, and specific identification method is $461200.
