Question

Vaughn uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7100 units that cost $13.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3000 units at $14.00 each and 11900 units at $14.50 each. Vaughn also sold 12900 units during the month. Using the LIFO method, what is the ending inventory

Answer 1

$120,300.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Last In, First Out (LIFO) is an inventory management method under which the cost of the most recent products purchased are the first to be charged to expenses.

From the question, we have:

Inventory sold = (11,900 × 14.50) + (1,000 × $14.00) = $186,550.00

Ending inventory = [7,100 × $13.00] + [(3,000 - 1,000) × 14.00] = $120,300.00

Therefore, the ending inventory is $120,300.00.
