Note - 1 : Calculation of Weighted Average Issue Price

Weighted Average Price = Total Cost of Materials in Stock / Total Quantity of Materials in Stock

Issue Price per Unit

Model: JG491 = $38,546 / 86 = $448.21

Model: CP925 = $22,814 / 29 = $786.69

Model: 8M21 = $42,604 / 132 = $322.76

Cost of Closing Inventory, Dec 31 under Weighted Average Cost Method

Model: JG491 = $38,546 / 86 x 16 = $7171.36

Model: CP925 = $22,814 / 29 x 8 = $6,293.52

Model: 8M21 = $42,604 / 132 x 30 = $9,682.80

2) Calculation of cost of inventory on December 31 by the First In First Out Method

Under First in - First Out Method (FIFO)

-          Material received first are to be issued first

-          Closing stock is valued at the price of oldest purchases

So, the value of closing inventory under FIFO method as follows

3) Calculation of cost of inventory on December 31 by the Last In First Out Method

Under Last in First Out method:

-          Material purchased last are to be issued first

-          Closing stock is valued at the latest stock price.

So, the value of closing inventory under LIFO method as follows:
