Question

Lizzie Corporation has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 280 $ 980 5/5 Purchase 380 $ 1,080 8/10 Purchase 480 $ 1,180 10/15 Purchase 290 $ 1,230 During the year, Lizzie sold 1,200 laptop computers. What was ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption

Answer 1

the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is shown below;

But before that first we have to determine the ending inventory units i.e.

= 280 + 380 + 480 + 290 - 1,200

= 230 units

So, the ending inventory is

= 230 units × $1,230

= $282,900

Hence, the ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption is $282,900
