Answer to question 1
Under LIFO, we assume that the 700 units of inventory sold are from later acquired inventory first and that any ending inventory is made up of beginning inventory. We subtract the 700 units against the purchase on the 20th first:
- 400 – 700 = – 300
We subtract this from the beginning inventory:
- 500 – 300 = 200
We multiply this by the value-per-unit of beginning inventory to find the value of ending inventory:
- 200 × $2.40 = d) $480
Answer to question 2
The ending inventory assuming FIFO would be $729 (c).
A proper explanation is shown below.
Date | Purchases | Sales | Ending inventory | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No. of units (A) | Unit cost (B) | Amount (C = A * B) | No. of units (A) | Unit cost (B) | Amount (C = A * B) | No. of units (A) | Unit cost (B) | Amount (C = A * B) | |
Apr. 1 | 440 | $2.31 | $1,016.40 | ||||||
Apr. 20 | 430 | $2.70 | $1,161 | 440 | $2.31 | $1,016.40 | |||

Total | 270 | $2.70 | $729 |
Answer to question 3
12) Cost of goods sold under FIFO = (400*18+300*22.50) = 13950
So answer is c) $13950
13) Cost of goods sold under LIFO = (500*22.50+200*18) = 14850
So answer is d) $14850
14) Cost per unit = (11250+7200)/900 = 20.50
Ending inventory = (900-700)*20.50 = 4100
So answer is b) $4100
