In its first month of operations, Literacy for the Illiterate opened a new bookstore and bought merchandise in the following order: (1) 300 units at $5 on January 1, (2) 450 units at $8 on January 8, and (3) 850 units at $9 on January 29. Assume 1,000 units are on hand at the end of the month.

Calculate the cost of goods available for sales, cost of goods sold, and ending inventory under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost flow assumptions. Assume perpetual inventory system and sol 600 units between January 9 and January 28. (Round your immediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

FIFO

COGS_                 3900

Ending Inventory: 8,850‬

LIFO

Total COGS 4350

Ending Inventory 8,400‬

W/A

COGS 4.080‬

Ending Inventory 8,670‬

Explanation:

Date event units price subtotal

1 Beginning 300 5        1500

8 Purchase 450         8        3600

29 Purchase 850 9         7650

available 1600                 12750

inventory at hand 1,000

sales 600 units

FIFO we sale the first units:

thus 300 at $5

and  300 at $8

total COGS = 3900

Ending Inventory: 12,750 - 3,900 = 8,850‬

LIFO we sale the latest unit but, as sales occur before Jan 29th we don0t use those.

450 at 8

150  at 5

Total COGS 4350

Ending Inventory 12,750 - 4,350 = 8,400‬

W/A

We do the average excluding Jan 29 as it wasn't purchase when we sale:

sales value / units

(1,500 + 3,600) / (300 + 450) = 6.8

COGS 600 units x $6.8 = 4.080‬

Ending Inventory 12,750 - 4,080 = 8,670‬

The computation of Literacy for the Illiterate's cost of goods available for sales, cost of goods sold, and ending inventory under the FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average cost flow assumptions is as follows:

                                                        (a) FIFO       (b) LIFO        (c) Weighted

                                                                                                       average

Cost of goods available for sale $12,750         $12,750          $12,750

Cost of goods sold                        $3,900          $4,350             $4,781

Ending inventory                          $8,850          $8,400            $7,969

                           (150 x $8 + 850 x $9)    (150 x $5 + 850 x $9)   (1,000 x $7.96875)

What are the cost flow assumptions?

The cost flow assumptions are the judgments made by management to give value to the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold.

The cost flow assumptions include FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average methods.

Another method used in valuing inventories is the specific identification method but it is not based on any assumption.

Data and Calculations:

Date               Transaction      Unit   Unit Cost    Total Costs

January 1        Purchase         300         $5               $1,500

January 8       Purchase         450         $8                3,600

January 29    Purchase         850         $9                7,650

Total                                    1,600                          $12,750

Sales                                     600

Ending inventory               1,000

Average cost = $7.96875 ($12,750/1,600)
