Answer:

The cost of goods sold and endings inventory are both given below in explanation according to the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ferris Company began at 2018 with 6,000 units of its principal product. The cost of each unit is $8.

Beginning inventory = 6000*8 = $48000

Purchases :

Jan. 10: 5,000 units at $9 = $45,000

Jan. 18: 6,000 units at $10 = $60,000

Totals = 11,000 units for $105,000

Cost of goods available for sale = 17000 units for $153000

Sales:

Jan. 5: 3,000 units

Jan: 12: 2,000 units

Jan: 20: 4,000 units

Total = 9,000 units

8,000 units were on hand at the end of the month.

1) FIFO (first-in, first-out) Periodic system

Cost of goods sold = 6000*8 + 3000*9= $75,000

Ending Inventory = 2000*9 + 6000*10= $78,000

2) LIFO (last-in, first-out) Periodic system.

Cost of goods sold = 6000*10 + 3000*9= $87,000

Ending Inventory = 6000*8 + 2000*9= $66,000

3) LIFO, Perpetual system.

Cost of goods sold = 3,000*8 + 2,000*9 + 4,000*10= $82,000

Ending Inventory = 3,000*8 + 3,000*9 + 2,000*10= $71,000

4) Average cost, Periodic system.

Weighted average unit cost = $153000/17000 (units) = $9

Cost of goods sold = 9,000*$9 = $81,000

Ending Inventory = 8,000*9 = $72,000

Alternately, the cost of goods sold can also be calculated by multiplying total units by average price thus = 8000*$9 = $72000

5) Average cost, perpetual system .

Cost of goods sold = 3,000*8 + 2,000*8.5 + 4,000*9 = $77,000

Ending Inventory = 8,000*9 = $72,000

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ferris Company began 2018 with 6,000 units of its principal product. The cost of each unit is $8.

Purchases

Jan. 10: 5,000 units at $9= $45,000

Jan. 18: 6,000 units at $10= $60,000

Totals= 11,000 units for $105,000

Sales:

Jan. 5: 3,000 units

Jan. 12: 2,000 units

Jan. 20: 4,000 units

Total= 9,000 units

8,000 units were on hand at the end of the month.

1) FIFO (first-in, first-out) Periodic system

COGS= 6000*8 + 3000*9= $75,000

Inventory= 2000*9 + 6000*10= $78,000

2) LIFO (last-in, first-out) Periodic system.

COGS= 6000*10 + 3000*9= $87,000

Inventory= 6000*8 + 2000*9= $66,000

3) LIFO, Perpetual system.

COGS= 3,000*8 + 2,000*9 + 4,000*10= $82,000

Inventory= 3,000*8 + 3,000*9 + 2,000*10= $71,000

4) Weighted average; Periodic system.

Price= (8+9+10)/3= 9

COGS= 9,000*9= $81,000

Inventory= 8,000*9= $72,000

5) Weighted average, perpetual system

COGS= 3,000*8 + 2,000*8.5 + 4,000*9= $77,000

Inventory= 8,000*9= $72,000
