5. Calculate sales revenue and gross profit under each of the four methods. (Round weighted-average cost amounts to 2 decimal places.)

Complete Question:

The Company has the following transactions related to its top-selling Mongoose mountain bike for the month of March. The Company uses a periodic inventory system.

Date Transactions Units Unit Cost Total Cost

March 1 Beginning inventory 20 $230 $4,600

March 5 Sale ($360 each) 15

March 9 Purchase 10 250 2,500

March 17 Sale ($410 each) 8

March 22 Purchase 10 260 2,600

March 27 Sale ($435 each) 12

March 30 Purchase 8 280 2,240

For the specific identification method, the March 5 sale consists of bikes from beginning inventory, the March 17 sale consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase, and the March 27 sale consists of four bikes from beginning inventory and eight bikes from the March 22 purchase.

Required:

a. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015, using the specific identification method. The March 5 sale consists of bikes from beginning inventory, the March 17 sale consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase, and the March 27 sale consists of four bikes

from beginning inventory and eight bikes from the March 22 purchase.

b. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.

c. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.

d. Using weighted-average cost, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.(Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

e. Calculate sales revenue and gross profit under each of the four methods.

The Company

Ending Inventory:

a. Specific Identification:

Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,490

= $8,450

b. FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,540

= $8,400

c. LIFO:

Ending Inventory:

March 1  Inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $2,990

= $8,950

d) Weighted -Average Cost:

Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75

Cost of Goods Sold = $248.75 * 35 = $8,706.25

March 27   Sale ($435 each)                12     $435                         $5,220

March 30   Purchase                      8             280           2,240

Total Goods available for sale     48   35                     $11,940   $13,900

Ending Inventory = 13 (48 - 35)

Weighted average cost = Cost of goods available for sale/Units of Goods available for sale

= $11,940/48 = $248.75

Specific Identification:

March 5 sale 15 consists of bikes from 15 beginning inventory Bal 5 - 4 = 1

March 17 sale 8 consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase  Bal  = 2

March 27 sale 12 consists of four bikes from beginning inventory and eight bikes from the March 22 purchase Bal  = 2

Ending Inventory:

Specific Identification:

Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

LIFO:

March 1      Beginning inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Weighted-Average Costs:

Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75

Cost of Goods Sold = $248.75 * 35 = $8,706.25
