Assume that one unit is sold on April 27 for $300.

Determine the gross profit for April and ending inventory on April 30 using the (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) weighted average cost methods.

Respuesta :

The determination of the gross profit for April and the ending Inventory on April 30 is as follows:

                                               Gross Profit              Ending Inventory

(a) First-in, First-out (FIFO)    $200 ($300 - $100)   $260 ($120 + $140)

(b) Last-in, First-out (LIFO)    $160 ($300 - $140)   $220 ($120 + $100)

(c) Weighted Average cost   $180 ($300 - $120)   $240 ($120 x 2)

What are the Cost Flow Methods?

The cost flow methods are FIFO, LIFO, Specific Identification, and Weighted-Average Cost methods of costing ending inventory and cost of goods sold based on assumptions.
