Required information
You are the owner of a very small business that sells gourmet coffee. You sell only one
product, a 12-ounce bag of whole-bean French roast coffee. You sell each bag of coffee
for $14 each, but due to the fluctuation in commodity prices, the price you pay your
supplier to stock the product is constantly changing. In your first month of operations,
you bought bags of coffee from your supplier in the following order: (a) 2 units at $2
each on January 1, (b) 6 units at $4 each on January 8, and (c) 4 units at $8 each on
January 29.
Requirement 2 (of 2): Assuming you sold 7 units ring the month, use the information
from requirement 1 to calculate the gross profit for three alternative income statements:
(a) if the coffee business chooses FIFO, (b) if the company chooses LIFO, and (c) if the
company chooses weighted average cost.
