Explanation / Answer

1. Determine the inventory on March 31, 2016, and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the first-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system.

Closing Stock = 269500 (89500 + 180000)

Cost of goods sold = 150,000+85000+85000+34000+306000+315000+595000+350000+360000+630000 = 2910,000

2. Determine the inventory on March 31, 2016, and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the last-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system.

Closing Stock = 548500

Cost of Goods Sold = 2631500

3. Determine the inventory on March 31, 2016, and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the weighted average cost method and the periodic inventory system. Round the weighted average unit cost to the nearest cent.

Closing Stock = 260000

Cost of Goods Sold = 2914000
