Question

Sheridan Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 450 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 280 $ 17 $ 4,760 April 15 purchase 420 20 8,400 April 23 purchase 300 22 6,600 1,000 $ 19,760 Calculate weighted average cost per unit.

Answer 1

Closing inventory - $10,160

Costs of goods sold - $9,600

Explanation:

Under the LIFO Method, the cost of good sold equals to

= April 23 units × cost per unit + Remaining units × cost per unit

= 300 units × $22 + 150 units × $20

= $6,600 + $3,000

= $9,600

Since the firm has sold 450 units, so out of which 300 units sold at a price of $22 and the remaining 150 units sold at a price of $20

The ending inventory equals to

= Remaining units × cost per unit + April 1 × cost per unit

= 270 units × $20 + 280 units × $17

= $5,400 + $4,760

= $10,160

Since on April 23, the 420 units were purchase, out of which 150 units are transferred to the cost of good sold and the remaining units 270 units at $20 is transferred to the ending inventory
