Question
nventory records for Capetown, Incorporated revealed the following: Date Transaction Number of Units Unit CostApril 1 Beginning Inventory 500 1,620.1,204.$1,581.
Solution
To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, we start by selling the most recently purchased items first.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
-
From the 670 units sold, we first take the 310 units purchased on April 20 at 2.59/unit = $802.90.
-
We still have 670 - 310 = 360 units to account for. These will come from the beginning inventory. So, 360 units * 849.60.
-
Add these two amounts together to get the total COGS. So, 849.60 = $1652.50.
Rounding to the nearest dollar, the COGS would be 1,653.
