What was ending inventory using the LIFO cost flow assumption under a periodic inventory system

Answer :

Answer:

Ending inventory  = $770000

Explanation:

given data

Date    Transaction              Number of Units         Cost per Unit

1/1       Beginning Inventory      400                          $3,200

6/6      Purchase                        800                         $3,600

9/10     Purchase                       1,200                       $4,000

11/15      Purchase                      800                         $4,200

solution

Date                  Units            Unit cost         Total  

Beg inventory  400              3200               1280000  

6 Jun                800              3600               2880000  

10 Sep              1200             4000              4800000  

15 Nov               800              4200              3360000  

Total                  3200                                   12320000  

so here Average unit cost will be

Average unit cost = [tex]\frac{ 12320000}{3200}[/tex]

Average unit cost = $3850

and

Ending inventory  is

Ending inventory = ( 3200 - 3000 ) × 3850

Ending inventory  = $770000

The value of ending inventory is $770,000.

What is inventory?

The inventory refers to the stock held by the business either for sale or for further production. There are several methods for calculating the value of inventories such as LIFO, FIFO, average cost, and so on.

The value of inventory can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\rm Value \:of \:ending\:inventory = Ending \:inventory \times Average \:cost[/tex]

The calculation of ending inventory is given in the attachment.

The total purchases is 3,200 units and the given number of units sold is 3,000.

Therefore the ending inventory will be 200 units.

The average cost is calculated as follows:

[tex]\rm Average \:cost= \dfrac{Total\:cost\:of\:purchase}{Total\:units}\\\\Average \:cost = \dfrac{\$12,320,000}{3,200}\\\\Average \:cost = \$3850[/tex]

Therefore the value of ending inventory will be:

[tex]\rm Value \:of \:ending\:inventory = Ending \:inventory \times Average \:cost\\\\\rm Value \:of \:ending\:inventory = 200 \times \$3850\\\\\rm Value \:of \:ending\:inventory = \$770,000[/tex]
