E6-5:

(a) FIFO method:

Ending inventory = 19 × $11 = $209

Cost of goods sold = $938 - $209 = $729

(b) LIFO method:

Ending inventory = 19 × $9 = $171

Cost of goods sold = $938 - $171 = $767

(c) Average-cost method:

Average unit cost = $938 ÷ 93 = $10.086

Ending inventory = $10.086 × 19 = $191,634

Cost of goods sold = $938 - $191,634 = $746,366

E6-7:

Total units of goods available for sale = 120 + 370 + 200 = 690 (units)

Total cost of goods available for sale = $4,220

Units of ending inventory June 30th: 230 (units)

Units of goods sold in June = 460 (units)

(a)

- FIFO method:

+ Ending inventory = 200 × 7$ + 30 × $6 = $1,580

+ Cost of goods sold = $4,220 - $1,580 = $2,640


- LIFO method:

+ Ending inventory = 120 × $5 + 110 × $6 = $1,260

+ Cost of goods sold = $4,220 - $1,260 = $2,960

- Average-cost method:

+ Average unit cost = $4,220 ÷ 690 = $6,116

+ Ending inventory = 230 × $6,116 = $1,406.667

+ Cost of goods sold = $4,220 - $1,406.667 = $2,813.333

(b)

- The FIFO method gives the highest ending inventory because it


determines the flow of selling products by “first-in, first-out” rule. As
in this period of rising price, if oldest goods are first to be sold, cost of
goods sold will be at the lowest, therefore leads to highest ending
inventory.

- The LIFO method gives the highest cost of goods sold because it
determines the flow of selling products by “last-in, first-out” rule. As
in this period of rising price, if latest goods are first to be sold, cost of
goods sold will be at the highest.

(c) The average-cost value for ending inventory is somewhere in between


ending inventory for FIFO and LIFO. The average-cost value for cost of
goods sold is also somewhere in between cost of ending inventory for
FIFO and LIFO. The reason for this is because average-cost method did
not compute ending inventory and cost of good sold based on the price
they were purchased and sold, but by devided total cost by total units.
(d) The reason for not using $6 for average cost is because $6 is merely the
average cost of purchased products; and if we do so, the number $6 does
not exactly reflect the weighted average unit cost as it did not pay
attention to the amount of goods available for sale. Therefore, we should
divide the total cost of goods available for sale by total units to define the
correct weighted average unit cost.

P6 -5A:

Total units of goods available for sale = 60 + 120 +100 + 70 = 350 (units)

Total cost of goods available for sale = 60 × $24 + 120 × $26 + 100 × $27 + 70
× $29 = $9,290

Units of goods sold in October = 100 + 60 + 110 = 270 (units)

Units of ending inventory October 29th = 350 – 270 = 80 (units)

Sales Revenue for October = $10,300

(a)

- FIFO method:

+ Ending inventory = 70 × $29 + 10 × $27 = $2,300

+ Cost of goods sold = $9,290 - $2,300 = $6,990

+ Gross profit = $10,300 - $6,990 = $3,310

+ Gross profit rate = $3,310 ÷ $10,300 = 32.1%

- LIFO method:

+ Ending inventory = 60 × $24 + 20 × $26 = $1,960

+ Cost of goods sold = $9,290 - $1,960 = $7,330

+ Gross profit = $10,300 - $7,330 = $2,970

+ Gross profit rate = $2,970 ÷ $10,300 = 28.8%


- Average-cost method:

+ Average unit cost = $9,290 ÷ 350 = $26.543

+ Ending inventory = 80 × $26.543 = $2,123.429

+ Cost of goods sold = $9,290 - $2,123.429 = $7,166.571

+ Gross profit = $10,300 - $7,166.571 = $3,133.429

+ Gross profit rate = $3,133.429 ÷ $10,300 = 30.4%

(b) Among the three cost flow assumptions, the FIFO method has the lowest
cost of goods sold, highest ending inventory as well as gross profit and
gross profit rate. Meanwhile, the LIFO method shows the highest cost of
goods sold but lowest ending inventory as well as gross profit and gross
profit rate. Finally, the average-cost values for cost of goods sold, ending
inventory, gross profit and gross profit rate are all in between those of
FIFO method and LIFO method.
