Periodic Inventory Using FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average Cost Methods

The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows:

Jan. 1	Inventory	10	units at $29	$290
Aug. 7	Purchase	19	units at $31	589
Dec. 11	Purchase	10	units at $32	320
		39	units	$1,199

There are 17 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used. Determine the inventory cost using (a) the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method; (b) the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method; and (c) the weighted average cost method (round per unit cost to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar).

a.First-in, first-out (FIFO)$

b.Last-in, first-out (LIFO)$

c.Weighted average cost$

Perpetual Inventory Using FIFO

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for Item HM46 are as follows:

August 1		Inventory	62 units @ $21
9		Sale	48 units
13		Purchase	47 units @ $23
28		Sale	18 units

Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of merchandise sold on August 28 and (b) the inventory on August 31.

a. Cost of merchandise sold on August 28	$
b. Inventory on August 31	$

Perpetual Inventory Using Weighted Average

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for Meta-B1 are as follows:

July 1		Inventory	100 units at $400
12		Sale	70 units
23		Purchase	120 units at $450
26		Sale	110 units

a. Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the weighted average method, determine the weighted average unit cost after the July 23 purchase. $per unit

b. Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the weighted average method, determine the cost of the merchandise sold on July 26. $

c. Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the weighted average method, determine the inventory on July 31. $

Lower-of-Cost-or-Market Method

On the basis of the data shown below:

Item	Inventory Quantity	Cost per Unit	Market Value per Unit (Net Realizable Value)
IA17	67	$26	$31
TX24	137	13	10

Determine the value of the inventory at the lower of cost or market by applying lower of cost or market to each inventory item, as shown in Exhibit 9.
