Lopez Company reported the following current-year data for its only product. The company uses a periodic inventory system, and its ending inventory consists of 150 units-50 from each of the last three purchases. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold for the following. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Which method yields the highest net income? LIFO Weighted average FIFO Specific identification.

Answer / Explanation

The question is incomplete because we have not been provided with the inventory data. This con be found in search engines. However, kindly find the complete question below.

Lopez Co. reported the following current-year data for its only product. The company uses a periodic inventory system, and its ending inventory consists of 150 units—50 from each of the last three purchases.

Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 235 units @ $3.40 = $ 799  

Mar. 7 Purchase 510 units @ $4.00 = 2,040  

 July 28 Purchase 1,150 units @ $4.60 = 5,290  

 Oct. 3 Purchase 1,030 units @ $4.90 = 5,047  

 Dec. 19 Purchase 460 units @ $5.00 = 2,300

I f we sum the total available for sale:

We have,

Total = 3,385 units $ 15,476  

Now, if we move forward to determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and cost of goods sold considering that we have to round our per unit costs to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

W then have:

Ending inventory Cost of goods sold  

(a) Specific identification  

Ending Inventory  =

(135 x 4.60) + (135 x 4.90) + (135 x 5.00) = $1,958

COGS  =

15,476 - 1,958 = $13,518

(b) Weighted average  

15,476 / 3,385 = $4.572 cost per unit

Ending Inventory

405 x 4.572 = $1,852

COGS

15,476 - 1,852 = $13,624

c) FIFO  

Ending Inventory

405 x $5.00 = $2,025

COGS

15,476 - 2,025 = $13,451

(d) LIFO  

Ending Inventory

(235 x 3.40) + (170 x 4.00) = $1,479

COGS

15,476 - 1,479 = $13,997

Which method yields the highest net income?  

The one with the highest ending inventory.

FIFO

i guess you could put raise the economic balance

answer; the cpi;
