Question

acc 340 Checkers uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7,200 units that cost $12 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3,000 units at $13 each and 12,000 units at $13.50 each. Checkers also sold 12,900 units during the month. Using the LIFO method, what is the ending inventory

Answer 1

$113,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is an inventory management method, in which the cost of the most recent product bought are the first to be charged to expenses.

With regards to the above question, we'll have;

Inventory sold = (12,000 × $13.5) + (900 × $13) = $173,700

Ending inventory = [7,200 × $12] + [(3,000 - 900) × $13]

Ending inventory = $86,400 + $27,300

Ending inventory = $113,700

Therefore, the ending inventory using LIFO is $113,700
