Question
Assume that Q-Mart uses a periodic FIFO inventory system. During the year, it sold 14 units. Calculate the dollar value of its cost of goods sold for the period. Date Activity Jan. 1Beginning Inventory10 @ 15Jan. 30Purchase10 @ 210240$180
Solution
To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS) using the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method, we start by selling the oldest inventory first. Here's how we calculate:
- From the beginning inventory, sell 10 units @ 120
- Then, from the Jan. 5 purchase, sell the remaining 4 units @ 60
So, the total COGS = 60 = 180.

Periodic inventory using FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average cost methods The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows: Date Line Item Description Units Cost per Unit Amount Jan. 1 Inventory 16 units at $34 $544 Aug. 13 Purchase 7 units at $36 252 Nov. 30 Purchase 7 units at $37 259 Available for sale 30 units $1,055 There are 18 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used. Determine the inventory cost using the (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO) method; (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO) method; and (c) weighted average cost method (round per-unit cost to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar).
