  f.

Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $213,000

       

Required: 1. Calculate the number and cost of goods available for sale.

2. Calculate the number of units in ending inventory.

3. Compute the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold under (a) FIFO and (b) weighted average cost. (Round Weighted average cost per unit to two decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

4. Prepare an income statement that shows amounts for the FIFO method in one column and for the weighted average method in another column. Include the following line items in the income statement: Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, Operating Expenses, and Income from Operations. (Round Weighted average cost per unit to two decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

 

Expert Solution

Requirement 1:

Number of Goods Available for Sale 18,000 Units
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $315,000

Working notes:

Number of goods available for sale = 3,000 + 8,000 + 7,000 = 18,000 units

Cost of goods available for sale = (3,000 Units x $18) + (8,000 units x $16) + (7,000 units x $19)

= $54,000 + $128,000 + $133,000

= $315,000

Requirement 2:

Ending Inventory = 8,400 Units

Working notes:

Sales = 3,000 + 6,600 = 9,600 Units

Number of goods available for sale = 3,000 + 8,000 + 7,000 = 18,000 units

Ending Inventory = 18,000 Units - 9,600 Units = 8,400 Units

Requirement 3:

  Cost of Ending Inventory Cost of Goods sold
FIFO $155,400 $159,600
LIFO $140,400 $174,600
Weighted Average cost $147,000 $168,000

Working notes:

FIFO

Ending Inventory = (7,000 Units x $19) + (8,400 Units - 7,000 Units) x $16

= (7,000 Units x $19) + (1,400 Units x $16)

= $133,000 + $22,400

= $155,400

Cost of goods sold = (3,000 units x $18) + (8,000 Units - 1,400 Units) x $16

= (3,000 Units x $18) + (6,600 Units x $16)

= $54,000 + $105,600

= $159,600

LIFO

Ending Inventory = (3,000 Units x $18) + (8,400 Units - 3,000 Units) x $16

= (3,000 Units x $18) + (5,400 Units x $16)

= $54,000 + $86,400

= $140,400

Cost of goods sold = (8,000 Units - 5,400 Units) x $16 + (7,000 Units x $19)

= (2,600 Units x $16) + (7,000 Units x $19)

= $41,600 + $133,000

= $174,600

Weighted Average Cost

Average cost per unit = (3,000 Units x $18) + (8,000 units x $16) + (7,000 units x $19) / 18,000 Units

= $315,000 / 18,000 Units

= $17.50 per unit

Ending Inventory = 8,400 Units x $17.50 per unit = $147,000

Cost of goods sold = 9,600 Units x $17.50 per unit = $168,000

Requirement 4:

ORION IRON CORP.
