Required

Calculate the cost of goods available for sale. Calculate

(a) ending inventory and 

( b) Cost of goods sold under the LIFO and AVCO inventory costing methods. Given that expenses after gross profit totaled $ 5,000.00, compute the gross and net profit earned by the company under the LIFO and AVCO costing methods. If the company had used the FIFO inventory costing method, cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been $ 10,200.00. Management wants a report that shows how changing from FIFO to another method would change net income. 

Prepare a table showing (1) the amount by which cost of goods sold under LIFO and AVCO is different from the FIFO cost of goods sold and ( 2) the effect on net income when LIFO and AVCO are used instead of FIFO.
