  1. Perpetual inventory using LIFO

    Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for DVD players are as follows:

    Date Line Item Description Units and Cost
    Nov. 1 Inventory 72 units at $74
    10 Sale 53 units
    15 Purchase 96 units at $78
    20 Sale 55 units
    24 Sale 16 units
    30 Purchase 37 units at $83

    The business maintains a perpetual inventory system, costing by the last-in, first-out method.

    Determine the cost of goods sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, presenting the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 4. Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Goods Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.
