6. LIFO

Explanation:

Periodic Method means that inventory valuation is done after a specific period. In this case valuation is being done at year end.

Calculation of the number and cost of goods available for sale

                                                   Units                      Total Costs

Beginning Inventory                   300                            $4,200

Add Purchases :

April 11                                          950                           $11,400

June 1                                           850                           $12,750

Available for Sale                      2,100                          $28,350

Ending Inventory units = Units Available for Sale  - Units Sold

                                     =  2,100 units - 300 units -  630 units

                                     =  1,170 units

a. FIFO

FIFO stands for First In First Out.

i. Cost of ending inventory

320 units × $12 =  $3,840

850 units × $15 = $12,750

Total                  = $16,590

ii. Cost of goods sold

300 units × $14 = $4,200

630 units × $12 = $7,560

Total                  = $11,760

b. LIFO

LIFO stands for Last In Last Out

i. Cost of ending inventory

300 units × $14 =  $4,200

650 units × $12 =  $7,800

220 units × $15 =  $3,300

Total                  = $15,300

ii. Cost of goods sold

300 units × $12 = $3,600

630 units × $15 = $9,450

Total                  = $13,050

c. weighted average cost

This method recalculates the unit costs after every purchase. Sales are valued at the latest unit costs calculated.

1st calculation : April 11

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Number of Units

                = ((950 units × $12) + (300 units × $14)) ÷ (1,250)

                = $12.45

Sale = 300 × $12.45

       = $3,735

2nd Calculation : June 1

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Number of Units

                = ((650 units × $12.45) + (850 units × $15)) ÷ (1,500)

                = $13.90

Sale = 630 × $13.90

       = $8,757

ii. Cost of goods sold

Total Cost of Goods Sold = $3,735 + $8,757

                                          = $12,492

i. Cost of ending inventory

Ending Inventory = 870 × $13.90

                            = $12,093
