Explanation of Solution

Perpetual Inventory System:

Perpetual Inventory System refers to the inventory system that maintains the detailed records of every inventory transactions related to purchases, and sales on a continuous basis. It shows the exact on-hand-inventory at any point of time.

First-in-First-Out:

In First-in-First-Out method, the costs of the initially purchased items are considered as cost of goods sold, for the items which are sold first. The value of the ending inventory consists of the recent purchased items.

Ending Inventory: It represents the quantity and price of the goods unsold and laying at the store at the end of a particular period.

  • Calculate the cost of ending inventory:
Calculation of Cost of Ending Inventory
DetailsNumber of UnitsRate per Unit ($)Total Cost ($)
November, 112418432
Ending Inventory24432

Table 1

Note:

  • The ending inventory is 24 units.
  • In FIFO method the ending inventory comprises of the inventory purchased last, because the inventory purchased first were sold first.
  • Therefore, the ending inventory of 24 units from November 11th purchases.

Working notes:

  • Calculate the total Cost and units of Goods Available for Sales:
ParticularsNumber of unitsRate per unit ($)Total cost ($)
Beginning inventory2022440
Purchases on May, 42521525
Purchases on June, 93020600
Purchases on November, 113018540
Total goods available for sales1052,105

Table 2

  • Calculate the units of ending inventory:

Ending inventory units = Total goods available for sale – sales=105 Units – 81Units= 24Units

Conclusion

Therefore, the cost of Ending Inventory in the FIFO is $432.

Explanation of Solution

Cost of goods sold:

Cost of goods sold is the accumulate total of all direct cost incurred in manufacturing the goods or the products which has been sold during a period. Cost of goods sold involves direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overheads.

Determine the cost of goods sold:

ParticularsNumber of unitsRate per unit ($)Total cost ($)

Purchases on May, 42521525
Purchases on June, 93020600
Purchases on November, 11618108
Cost of goods sold811,673

Table 3

Note:

  • units are sold.
  • As it is FIFO method the earlier purchased items will sell first.
  • Hence, the cost of goods sold will be the earlier purchased items.
Conclusion

Therefore, the cost of goods sold in the FIFO Method is $1,673.

Note:

  • The ending inventory is 24 units (Refer to Table 2).
  • In LIFO method the ending inventory comprises of the inventory purchased first, because the inventory purchased last were sold first.
  • Therefore, the ending inventory of 24 units is from the beginning inventory.
Conclusion

Therefore, the cost of Ending Inventory in the LIFO method is $524.

Perpetual Inventory System:

Perpetual Inventory System refers to the inventory system that maintains the detailed records of every inventory transactions related to purchases, and sales on a continuous basis. It shows the exact on-hand-inventory at any point of time.

Weighted-average cost method:

Under Weighted average cost method, the company calculates a new average cost after every purchase is made. It is determined by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the units on hand.

  • Calculate the cost of ending inventory:

Cost of Ending inventory=(Number of units in Ending inventory ×Weighted-average cost per unit (3))=24 units × $20.04762=$481.14288 (4)

Working note:

  • Calculate the Weighted-average cost:

Weighted-averageCost}=Total Cost of Goods Available For SaleTotal number of units Available for Sale=$2,105105 Units=$20.04762 (3)

Conclusion

Therefore, the cost of Ending Inventory in the Weighted-average-cost Method is $481,142.
