Penn Company uses a periodic inventory system. At the end of the annual accounting period, December 31 of the current year, the accounting records provided the following information for product 1: Units Unit Cost Inventory, December 31, prior year 2,000 $ 5 For the current year: Purchase, March 21 5,000 6 Purchase, August 1 3,000 8 Inventory, December 31, current year 4,000 Required: Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold for the current year under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.

Total unit sold = Opening balance + Purhase in march + Purchase in August - Closing balance

Total unit sold = 2000 + 5000 +3000 - 4000

Total unit sold = 6000 units

1. FIFO method:

So total cost of goods sold is (2000*$5) + (4000*$6)= $34,000

Ending inventory value is (1000*$6) + (3000*$8) = $30,000

2. LIFO method:

So total value of goods sold is (3000*$8) + (3000*$6) = $42,000

Ending inventory value is (2000*6) + (2000*$5) = $22,000

3. Average cost of inventory:

Opening inventory (2000* $5) + Purchase on Mar.21 (5000*$6) + Purchase on August 1 (3000*$8) = $64,000

Total units = 2000 + 5000 + 3000

Total units = 10,000

Average cost is $64,000/10,000 (units) = $6.40 per unit

So, Cost of goods sold is 6000*$6.40 = $38,400

Ending Inventory value is 4000*$6.40 = $25,600
