Assume that one unit is sold on April 27 for $345. Determine the gross profit for April and ending inventory on April 30 using the (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b)

Cost Flow Methods

Gross profit and ending inventory on April 30 using:

                                                          Gross Profit     Ending Inventory

(a) first-in, first-out (FIFO)                     $75                   $546

(b) last-in, first-out (LIFO)                       $71                   $542

(c) weighted average cost method     $73                   $544

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Item Beta   Cost

April 2  Purchase   $270

April 15  Purchase   272

April 20  Purchase 274

Total                      $816

Average cost per unit = $272  ($816/ 3 units)

Assume that one unit is sold on April 27 for $345

Gross profit and ending inventory on April 30 using:

                                                          Gross Profit            Ending Inventory

(a) first-in, first-out (FIFO)                 $75 ($345 - $270)  $546 ($816 - $270)

(b) last-in, first-out (LIFO)                   $71 ($345 - $274)   $542 ($816 - $274)

(c) weighted average cost method $73 ($345 - $272)  $544 ($816 - $272)

Ending inventory = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Cost of goods sold

Gross profit = Sales Minus Cost of goods sold
