Requirement1:
Concept Introduction:
Goods available for sale:
The Goods available for sale means that the total goods in hand which can be offered to the customers for sale. This can be expressed in terms of dollars and units. The Total Goods in hand can be computed as a sum of inventory in hand in the beginning of the period and Inventories purchased during the period.
To Determine: TheCost and number of units available for sale.

Explanation of Solution
TheCost of goods available for sale is computed by adding up the cost of goods in hand in the beginning of the period and cost of inventory purchased during the period. And the number of units available f or sale is computed as on the same lines but in units terms.
Cost and Units of Goods available for sale: | |||
DATE | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ |
Mar 1: Beg. Inventory | 100 | 50 | 5000 |
Purchases | |||
5-Mar | 400 | 55 | 22000 |
18-Mar | 120 | 60 | 7200 |
25-Mar | 200 | 62 | 12400 |
Goods Available for sale | 820 | 46600 |
Requirement2:
Ending Inventory:
Ending Inventory units means the number of units left over from the total goods available for sale after units sold deducted from it.
To determine: The Number of Ending Inventory Units.

Explanation of Solution
The ending Inventory units is a difference between units of goods available for sale and units sold and has been computed as under:
Ending Inventory Units: | |
UNITS | |
Units available for sale | 820 |
Less: Units sold | |
Mar-9 Sales | 420 |
Mar-29 Sales | 160 |
Ending Inventory Units: | 240 |
Requirement3-a:
First in First Out: The first in first out method of assigning the cost to goods sold is based on the principle that the goods that are entered first in the store room shall be issued first for sale and hence the cost shall be recorded at its initial prices of goods entered in store room. The perpetual Inventory system means the records are maintained on a continuous basis.
To determine: The Cost assigned to ending Inventory under FIFO.

Explanation of Solution
The FIFO method of perpetual inventory suggests that the goods issued for sale on a particular date shall be assigned cost on the basis of cost of oldest material lies in the store on that particular date.
The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:
STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERPETUAL FIFO METHOD | |||||||||
RECIEPTS | COST OF GOODS SOLD | BALANCE | |||||||
DATE | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ |
1-Mar | 100 | 50 | 5000 | ||||||
5-Mar | 400 | 55 | 22000 | 100 | 50 | 5000 | |||
400 | 55 | 22000 | |||||||

29-Mar | 80 | 55 | 4400 | 40 | 60 | 2400 | |||
80 | 60 | 4800 | 200 | 62 | 12400 | ||||
TOTAL | 720 | 41600 | 580 | 31800 | 240 | 14800 |
Therefore, Ending Inventory is 240 units of $14800.
Requirement3-b:
Last in First Out: The Last in first out method of assigning the cost to goods sold is based on the principle that the goods that are entered recently in the store room shall be issued first for sale and hence the cost shall be recorded at its recent prices of goods entered in store room. The perpetual Inventory system means the records are maintained on a continuous basis.
To determine: The Cost assigned to ending Inventory under LIFO.

Explanation of Solution
The LIFO method of perpetual inventory suggests that the goods issued for sale on a particular date shall be assigned cost on the basis of cost of newest material lies in the store on that particular date.
The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:
STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERPETUAL LIFO METHOD | |||||||||
RECIEPTS | COST OF GOODS SOLD | BALANCE | |||||||
DATE | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ | UNITS | RATE | AMOUNT $ |
1-Mar | 100 | 50 | 5000 | ||||||

40 | 62 | 2480 | |||||||
TOTAL | 720 | 41600 | 580 | 32920 | 240 | 13680 |
Therefore, Ending Inventory is 240 units of $13680.
Requirement3-c:
Weighted Average: The Weighted Average method of issuing inventory is based on principle that the goods shall be issued at a average of prices of goods which are lying in the store room at the time of issuing for sale. The perpetual Inventory system means the records are maintained on a continuous basis.
To determine: The Cost assigned to ending Inventory under Weighted average.

Explanation of Solution
The Weighted Average method of perpetual inventory suggests that the goods issued for sale on a particular date shall be assigned cost on the basis of average cost of material lies in the store on that particular date.
The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:
STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERPETUAL WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD | |||||||||
RECIEPTS | COST OF GOODS SOLD | BALANCE | |||||||

Therefore, Ending Inventory is 240 units of $14,352.
Requirement3-d:
Specific Identification: Specific Identification method of assigning the cost to goods sold is based on the principle that the goods that have been issued for sale has been specifically identified to be issued from the particular lot of material. Therefore, the cost of that particular lot shall be assigned on the same. The perpetual Inventory system means the records are maintained on a continuous basis.
To determine: The Cost assigned to ending Inventory under Specific Identification.

Explanation of Solution
The Specific Identification method of perpetual inventory suggests that the goods issued for sale on a particular date shall be assigned cost on the basis of cost of material specifically identified as issued from the store on that particular date.
The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:
