It is the inventory valuation method in which inventory purchased in the beginning of the year is first sold out. Hence the closing inventory count is done from end.

Explanation of Solution

  Sales = units sold × selling price per unit

  Sales=4,000×$50=$200,000

  Closing stock units = total units  units soldClosing stock units = 6,000  4,000 = 2,000

Valuation of Closing stock is done as:

Under FIFO:

  2,000*$22=$44,000

Under LIFO:

  (700*$18+1,300*$19)=$37,300

Under weighted average:

  2,000*$20.33=$81,340

Price in weighted average is calculated as:

  700*$18+1,700*$19+800*$20+500*$21+2,300*$22700+1,700+800+500+2,300=$20.33

Cost of goods sold is calculated as follows-

Answer to Problem 8APSA

As the purchase price of the inventory decresaes, the closing stock will be lower in case of FIFO method of inventory costing. The decrease in closing stockincreases cost of goods sold. The more cost of goods sold decreases gross profit under FIFO than LIFO. So, the net income will be lower under FIFO costing method.
