Simpson Inc. Purchased Inventory As Follows: | Delightful Discs Has The Following Inventory Data:
On 5th January, inventory purchases is 500 units X $10.00 =
$5,000.
On 15th January, purchases is 1,000 units X $15.00 = $15,000.
On 25th January, purchases is 200 units X $20.00 = $4,000
As no units purchased are sold at the end of January, so these become
ending inventory. As we know the average unit cost formula, which is shown below:
Average Unit Cost = Total Cost of Unsold Units / Total Unsold Units = $5,000 + $15,000 + $4,000 / 500 units + 1,000 units + 200 units = $24,000 / 1700 units = $14.12 per unit cost.
So, the correct option of this multiple choice question (mcq) is option (a).
2.
On 1st November, beginning inventory is 30 units X $6 = $180
On 8th November, purchases is 120 units X $6.45 = $774
On 17th November, inventory purchases is 60 units X $6.30 = $378
On 25th Nov., another purchases of merchandise is 90 units X $6.60
= $594
On 30th November, ending inventory is calculated under LIFO periodic
inventory system as shown below:
Total units are 30 + 120 + 60 + 90 = 300 units, so we start to sold units
from last item first and then to the previous till the 200 units are utilized
under LIFO which is shown below:
90 units X $6.60 = $594
60 units X $6.30 = $378
50 units X $6.45= $322.5
Cost of Goods Sold = $594 + $378 + $322.5 = $1,294
As 100 units remained unsold at the end of month of November, so under LIFO method, ending inventory is shown below:
70 units X 6.45 = $451.5
30 units X $6 = $180
Ending Inventory = $451.5 + $180 = $632
So, the correct option of this multiple choice question is (b). The other options are incorrect choices here.
