Sheridan Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 36 units at $19 $684 7 Purchases 126 units at $20 2520 22 Purchases 18 units at $22 396 $3600 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 60 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is

Answer 1

$2436

Step-by-step explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

total goods sold = (total inventory purchased + beginning inventory) - 60

(36 + 126 + 18) - 60

180 - 60

= 120

the 120 units sold would be taken from the inventory purchased on the 22nd and 7

(18 x 22) + [(120 - 18) x 20]

396 + 2040 = 2436
