July 7 Purchases 70 units at $2 $140
July 9 Sale 60 units
July 22 Purchases 20 units at $3 $60
July 24 Sale 15 units = $210
Use FIFO and LIFO inventory method and a perpetual inventory system, compute cost of goods
sold and the ending inventory ✔Correct Answer-A. FIFO
July 9: Sold 60 Units:
- 10 x 1 = 10
- 50 x 2 = 100 (July 7 )
- 20 units left over from July 7
July 24: Sold 15 units:
- 15 x 2 = 30 (July 7 unit)
- 5 units left over from July 7
- 20 units left over from July 22
Cost of goods sold: 10 + 100 + 30 = $140
Ending inventory:
- July 7: 5 x 2 = 10
- July 22: 20 x 3 = 60
- 10 + 60 = $70
Cost of goods available for sale: $140 + 70 = $210
, B. LIFO
July 9: Sold 60 units
- 60 x 2 = 120
- 10 units leftover from July 7
- 10 units from beginning inventory
July 24: Sold 15 units
- 15 x 3 = 45
- 10 units leftover from July 7
- 10 units from beginning inventory
- 5 units leftover from July 22
Cost of goods sold: 120 + 45 = $165
Ending inventory:
- 10 x 1 = 10
- 10 x 2 = 20
- 5 x 3 = 15
Cost of goods available for sale: 165 + 45 = 210

- 182,000 / ((34,000 + 32,000)/2) = 5.5
Days in inventory: 360 x Ending inventory/Cost of goods sold
- 360 x (34000/182,000) = 67.2
