Answer:
FIFO : Ending Inventory = $6,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $36,000
LIFO : Ending Inventory = $36,000, Cost of Goods Sold = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method : Ending Inventory = $10,500, Cost of Goods Sold = $31,500
Explanation:
FIFO
Assumes that the first goods received by business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Earliest Price
= 3000 units × $2
= $6,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
LIFO
Assumes that the last goods purchased are the first ones to be issued to the final customer.
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory 2000 units × $5 = $10,000
6000 units × $4 = $24,000
1000 units × $2 = $2,000
Total = $36,000
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold : 4000 units × $2 = $8,000
5000 units × $4 = $20,000
Total = $28,000
Weighted Average Cost Method
The average cost of goods held is recalculated each time a new delivery of goods is received Issues are then priced out at this weighted average cost.
First Calculate the Average Cost
Average Cost = Total Cost / Total Units
= (2000 × $5 + 6000 × $4 + 4000 × $2) / 12,000
= $42,000 / 12,000
= $3.50
Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory = Units left × Average Price
= 3000 units × $3.50
= $10,500
Cost of goods sold
Ending Inventory = Units Sold × Average Price
= 9,000 units × $3.50
= $31,500
