Cost of sales for the period is calculated using the most recent inventory cost per item. B. Closing inventory consists of goods purchased earlier in the period. C. Closing inventory consists of the most recently purchased goods. D. Cost of sales for the period is calculated using weighted average cost of the goods acquired.

Which is the best descirbe of the effect of using different inventory method during of the period of rising price, a Using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method will result in higher ending inventory and higher cost of goods sold, thereby showing higher gross profit compared to the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. b Using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method will result in lower ending inventory and higher cost of goods sold, thereby showing lower gross profit compared to the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. c Using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method will result in higher ending inventory and lower cost of goods sold, thereby showing higher gross profit compared to the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. d Using the Weighted Average Cost (WAC) method will always yield the same ending inventory and cost of goods sold figures irrespective of whether prices are rising or falling.
