The inventory data for an item for November are:\begin{tabular}{ll} Nov. 1 Inventory & 17 units at $23 \\4 Sold & 10 units \\10 Purchased & 35 units at $19 \\17 Sold & 17 units \\30 Purchased & 24 units at $21\end{tabular}Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of goods sold for November if the company uses LIFO?
Q. The inventory data for an item for November are:\begin{tabular}{ll} Nov. 1 Inventory & 17 units at $23 \\4 Sold & 10 units \\10 Purchased & 35 units at $19 \\17 Sold & 17 units \\30 Purchased & 24 units at $21\end{tabular}Using a perpetual system, what is the cost of goods sold for November if the company uses LIFO?
Start with LIFO: Using LIFO, we start with the last units purchased to calculate the cost of goods sold.
Calculate 17 units cost: First, calculate the cost of the 17 units sold on November 17. We have 24 units at $21 from November 30 purchase. 17 units ×$21 = $357
Calculate 10 units cost: Now, calculate the cost of the 10 units sold on November 4.We have 7 units left at $21 from November 30 purchase and 35 units at $19 from November 10 purchase.7 units ×$21 = $1473 units from the 35 units at $19 (since we need $211 units in total and we have already accounted for 7 units) = $\(3\) \times \$\(19\) = \(\$21\)\(3\)\(\newline\)Total cost for \(\$21\)\(1\) units = \(\$147\) + \(\$21\)\(3\) = \(\$21\)\(7\)
Add total cost: Add the cost of the units sold on November \(17\) and November \(4\) to get the total cost of goods sold for November.\(\$357\) (from Nov \(17\)) + \(\$204\) (from Nov \(4\)) = \(\$561\)
