Question
Assume that three identical units are purchased separately on the following three dates and at the respective costs: June 1 at 15 July 4 at 10 is sold; the June 2 at 20 remains in ending inventory.The June 2 at 20 are both sold; the June 1 at 10 and the June 2 at $15 are both sold; the July 4 unit remains in ending inventory.
Solution
The June 2 at 20 are both sold; the June 1 at $10 remains in ending inventory. This is because under the LIFO (Last In, First Out) perpetual cost flow assumption, the last items purchased are the first ones to be sold. Therefore, the units bought on June 2 and July 4 would be sold first, leaving the unit bought on June 1 in the ending inventory.
