Max's decision to invest in the group of assets he located has allowed him to change the focus of his work slightly. Max will now have extra time to focus on improving the success of his DIY Clean Air Turbo System kit. The addition of this extra product has caused Max to review the way he records his inventory. Max's client base has expanded so much that he now supplies both corporate fleets and individual customers. Max has previously used the periodic system to record inventory as he found he didn't have to think too hard and only had to do a stock take every now and then. Max also recalled from his studies at University that ...the First-In First-Out (FIFO) method will record the highest ending inventory value... and has always made use of the FIFO method for that reason. Required 1. Max has provided you with information below and asked you to calculate the COS and Gross Profit for the two items listed. Product 1-Clean Power kits are a spare parts option to increase the energy output and fuel economy of existing engines. Each unit now sells for $199. Date Max began the month with no stock of either product. Max's latest stock take revealed that there were 62 units of Product 1 and 8 units of Product 2 still on hand.

Max is reasonably happy with the results but seems to remember that while the periodic system of inventory recording was much easier it had some problems. Discuss the appropriateness of the Perpetual and Periodic recording systems for the two products you have looked at and provide reasons to support your conclusions. (You may find that one system is not appropriate for both products.) While you were busy preparing this report for Max he has once again gone back to his somewhat incomplete notes from University and has managed to dig up the following comments. a perpetual system of recording inventory is able to provide more information... ...using the weighted average method is more likely to produce a consistent profit figure over time... T Max likes the sound of these ideas and would like to see how they work. Max still believes the FIFO system would be best for the Clean Power kits as he usually sells the oldest stock first, but would like you to record the DIY packs using the weighted (moving) average method as he makes more profits on their sales. 3.
