Explanation / Answer

Answer 13) A. $114

Explanation

Cost of goods sold under LIFO = (10 units * $9) + (4 units * $6) = $90 + $24 = $114

Answer 14 ) B. $87

Explanation

Cost of goods sold under FIFO = (10 units * $6) + (3 units * $9) = $60 + $27 = $87

Answer 15) C. $60

Explanation

Average cost per unit = [(10 units * $6) + (10 units * $9)] / 10 units + 10 units = $150 / 20 units = $7.50

Cost of goods sold under average-cost = Units sold * Average cost per unit = 8 units * $7.50 = $60

Answer 16)  B. $1,800

Explanation

Depreciation expense under straight-line = ( Cost - Salvage value) / Useful life = ($10,000 - $1,000) / 5 = $1,800
