REQUIRED 1. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory and c goods sold on December 3 1 under each of the following methods: (a) FIFO (b) LIFO (c) Weighted-average (round calculations to two decimal places) 2. Assume that the market price per unit (cost to replace) of Douglas's inventory on December 31 was $13. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following methods: (a) FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market (b) Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market 3. Prepare required entries to apply: (a) FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market (b) Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-marketExplanation / Answer
1. (a) FIFO
Ending inventory = (500 x $14.05) + (400 x $14.00) + (100 x $12.00) = $7025 + $5600 + $1200 = $13825
Cost of goods sold = $56700 - $13825 = $42875
(b) LIFO
Ending inventory = 1000 X $8.00 = $8000
Cost of goods sold = $56700 - $8000 = $48700
(c) Weighted average
Ending inventory = $56700 / 5400 x 1000 = $10.5 x 1000 = $10500
Cost of goods sold = $56700 - $10500 = $46200
2. (a) FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market
Ending inventory at cost = $13825
Ending inventory at market price = 1000 x $13 = $13000
Amount to be assigned to the ending inventory = $13000
(b) Weighted average lower-of-cost-or-market
Ending inventory at cost = $10500
Ending inventory at market price = 1000 x $13 = $13000
Amount to be assigned to the ending inventory = $10500
3 Account Titles and Explanations Debit Credit (a) Loss on inventory write down 825 Allowance to reduce inventory to LCM 825 (To record inventory at LCM) (b) No entry required
