To determine

Requirement3-a:

First in First Out: The first in first out method of assigning the cost to goods sold is based on the principle that the goods that are entered first in the store room shall be issued first for sale and hence the cost shall be recorded at its initial prices of goods entered in store room.

Explanation of Solution

The FIFO method of period inventory suggests that the goods issued for sale on a particular date shall be assigned cost on the basis of cost of oldest material lies in the store during the end of period.

The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:

STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERIODIC FIFO METHOD
  RECIEPTS COST OF GOODS SOLD BALANCE
DATE UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $
Balance Oct1 600 45 27000 600 45 27000      
Purchase                  
10-Feb 400 42 16800 400 42 16800      
13-Mar 200 27 5400 200 27 5400      
21-Aug 100 50 5000 100 50 5000      
5-Sep 500 46 23000 100 46 4600 400 46 18400
TOTAL 1800   77200 1400   58800 400   18400

Therefore, Ending Inventory is 400 units of $18400.

To determine

The Ending Inventory shall be computed as under:

STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERIODIC LIFO METHOD
  RECIEPTS COST OF GOODS SOLD BALANCE
DATE UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $
Balance Oct1 600 45 27000 200 45 9000 400 45 18000
Purchase                  
10-Feb 400 42 16800 400 42 16800      
13-Mar 200 27 5400 200 27 5400      
21-Aug 100 50 5000 100 50 5000      
5-Sep 500 46 23000 500 46 23000      
TOTAL 1800   77200 1400   59200 400 45 18000

STATEMENT SHOWING INVENTORY RECORD UNDER PERIODIC WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD
  RECIEPTS COST OF GOODS SOLD BALANCE
DATE UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $ UNITS RATE AMOUNT $
