Perpetual Inventory Using LIFO

Oct. 1 Inventory 106 units @ $22
8 Sale 85 units
15 Purchase 118 units @ $24
27 Sale 99 units
Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of goods sold on Oct. 27 and (b) the inventory on Oct. 31.
a. Cost of goods sold on Oct. 27 = $2,376
b. Inventory on Oct. 31 = $40
Feedback
a. When the LIFO method is used, the cost of the units sold is the cost of the most recent purchases. Think of your inventory in terms of "layers." Determine how much inventory remains from each layer after each sale.
b. The ending inventory is made up of the oldest purchases.
