Question

Periodic Inventory System ..

In chronological order, the inventory, purchases, and sales of a single product for a recent month are as follows:

                        Units               Amount per Unit

Jn 1             Beginning inventory 150             $30

4             Purchase                       400               33

12             Purchase                      800                 36

16             Sale                               1,300               60

24             Purchase                      300                     39

Find Ending Inventory, Cost of Goods sold, and Gross Margin for the Average-cost method.

Explanation / Answer

Average cost = (150+400+800+30) /(30+33+36+39)

                    = 1650 / 138

                    =$ 11.96 per unit

ending Inventory = 138 - 60 = 78

Ending Inventory = 11.96 * 78 =$ 932.88

COGS = 60*11.96 = $717.6

Gross margin = sales -COGS

                     = 1300 - 717.6

                     = 582.4
