Profit FIFO method
First in, first out
Sales – cost of sales = profit
Sales = given (amount of units * selling price)
Cost of sales = First units sold * selling price of that unit
Amount of units left in comparison to sales units * selling price of next unit -
= profit
Profit LIFO method
Last in, first out
Sales – cost of sales = profit
Sales = given (amount of units * selling price)
Cost of sales = Last units sold * selling price of that unit
Amount of units left in comparison to sales units * selling price of unit before -
= profit
Profit WAC (weighted average cost) method
Sales – cost of sales = profit
Y = (amount of units purchased per batch * selling price) / total units purchased
Sales = given (amount of units * selling price)
Cost of sales = sold units * Y -
= profit
