Q. Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for an inventory item are as follows:\begin{tabular}{ll} Sep. 1 Beginning Inventory & 24 units @ \$\(10\) \\\(\newline\)\(5\) Sale & \(17\) units \\\(\newline\)\(17\) Purchase & \(10\) units @ \$\(15\) \\\(\newline\)\(30\) Sale & \(8\) units\(\newline\)\end{tabular}\(\newline\)Assuming a perpetual inventory system and the last-in, first-out method:\(\newline\)a. Determine the cost of goods sold for the September \(30\) sale.\(\newline\)\( \$ \) \( \square \)\(\newline\)b. Determine the inventory on September \(30\) .\(\newline\)\( \$ \) \( \square \)
LIFO method used: For the September 30 sale of 8 units, we use LIFO, so we sell the most recently purchased items first.
Cost of goods sold: We have 10 units from the September 17 purchase at $15 each. We sell 8 of these units.Cost of goods sold = 8 units * $15/unit = $120.
Remaining inventory after sale: Now, determine the remaining inventory after the September 30 sale.
Inventory calculation: We sold 8 units from the September 17 purchase, leaving 2 units at $15 each.
Inventory calculation: We sold 8 units from the September 17 purchase, leaving 2 units at $15 each.From the beginning inventory, we have 24 units, but we sold 17 units on September 5, leaving 7 units at $10 each.
Inventory calculation: We sold 8 units from the September 17 purchase, leaving 2 units at $15 each.From the beginning inventory, we have 24 units, but we sold 17 units on September 5, leaving 7 units at $10 each.The remaining inventory is 2 units at $15 each and 7 units at $10 each.Inventory = 173.
