Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

Ending Inventory: $108

Cost of goods sold: $495

Gross Profit: $504

1Step-by-Step-Solution Step 1: Computation of ending merchandise using LIFO

Using LIFO, the ending inventory would be valued at historical prices.

EndingInventory(Units)=BeginningInventory(units)+TotalPurchases(Units)-TotalSales(units)=17+(5+11)-(14+13)=17+16-27=6

AverageInventoryCost=BeginningInventory+TotalPurchaseTotalInventory=17×$15+(5×$19+11×$23)17+5+11=$255+$34833=$18

EndingInventory(Value)=EndingInventory(units)× AverageCost=6×$18=$108

2Step 2: Computation of cost of goods sold

Costofgoodssold=BeginningInventoryValue+TotalPurchaseValue-EndingInventoryValue=17×$15+(5×$19+11×$23)-$108=$255+$348-$108=$495

3Step 3: Computation of gross profit

NetSalesRevenue=Salevalueof20thJune+Salevaluenof29thJune=14×$37+13×$37=$518+$481=$999

GrossProfit=TotalSalevalue-Costofgoodssold=$999-$495=$504
