QS 6-4 Perpetual: Inventory costing with FIFO LO P1 A company reports the following beginning inventory and two purchases for the month of January. On January 26, the company sells 250 units. Ending inventory at January 31 totals 130 units. Units Unit Cost Beginning inventory on January 1 230 $ 2.00 Purchase on January 9 50 2.20 Purchase on January 25 100 2.34 Required: Assume the perpetual inventory system is used. Determine the costs assigned to ending inventory when costs are assigned based on the FIFO method.

$544

Explanation:

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

The cost of the 250 units sold would be first deducted from the inventory purchased on the 25th

= 100 × 2.34 = $234

That leaves 250 - 100 = 150 units.

The cost of goods sold would be next allotted to the inventory purchased on the 9th

= 50 × 2.20 = $110

This leaves 150 - 50 = 100

The cost of the 100 would be alloted to the beginning inventory

100 × $2 = $200

Total cost of goods sold = $200 + $110 + $234 = $544
