1)Determine the ending inventory using the periodic inventory system and the LIFO inventory method:

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
June 1	Beginning Inventory	6		$5		$30
June 12	Purchase	10		$6		$60
June 18	Purchase	8		$7		$56
	Totals	24		-		$146

 

Assume that 18 units were sold at a sales price of $14.

1. $56.
2. $30.
3. $146.
4. $60.

 

LIFO	@ $7 and 10 @ $6 → × 7 = 56 and 10 × 6 = 60 → 56 + 60 = 116 → 146 – 116 = 30

 

2 Determine the ending inventory using the periodic inventory system and the weighted average cost method (rounded to the closest cent):

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
June 1	Beginning Inventory	6		$5		$30
June 12	Purchase	10		$6		$60
June 18	Purchase	8		$7		$56
	Totals	24		-		$146

 

Assume that 18 units were sold at a sales price of $14.

1. $145.92.
2. $109.44.
3. $56.00.
4. $36.48.

 

Weighted Average

÷ 24 ≈ 6.10 → 6.10 × 18 = 109.8 → – 109.8 = 36.2 → 36.2 ≈ 36.48

 

3 Determine the cost of merchandise sold for the transaction on October 25 using the perpetual inventory system and the FIFO method.

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
	Beginning Inventory	5		$10		$50
October 4	Purchase	8		$11		$88
October 8	Sale	6
October 20	Purchase	15		$12		$180
October 25	Sale	12

 

1. $105.
2. $138.
3. $137.
4. $180.

 

Date	Sale/Cost of Merchandise	Purchase	Inventory
			5 × $10 = $50
October 4		8 × $11 = $88	5 × $10 = $50 8 × $11 = $88
October 8	5 × $10 = $50 1 × $11 = $11		7 × $11 = $77
October 20		15 × $12 = $180	7 × $11 = $77 15 × $12 = $180
October 25	7 × $11 = $77 5 × $12 = $60		10 × $12 = $120
TOTAL	$77 + $60 = $137	0	120

 

4. The cost method that will yield the highest taxable income during times of inflation is the

   .
2. Sales (net)Average Daily Cost of Merchandise Sold

   

   .
3. Sales (net)365 days

   

   .
4. Cost of Merchandise SoldAverage Inventory

   

   .

 

6. Determine the ending inventory assuming that only one item was sold on March 24 for $14 using the LIFO cost flow method.

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
March 3	Purchase	1		$4		$4
March 8	Purchase	1		$6		$6
March 22	Purchase	1		$8		$8
	Totals	3		$18

 

1. $15.
2. $16.
3. $14.
4. $10.

 

LIFO	1 @ $8 → 1 × 8 = 8 → 18 – 8 = 10

2. Hire security guards.
3. Keep low-priced inventory behind lock and key.
4. Allow all employees access to the materials warehouse.

 

9. The cost method that will yield an ending inventory value that is somewhere between possible high and low prices using traditional costing methods is the

1. LIFO inventory cost method.
2. Specific identification inventory cost method.
3. Weighted average inventory cost method.
4. FIFO inventory cost method.

11. Determine the gross profit using the periodic inventory system and the FIFO inventory method:

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
June 1	Beginning Inventory	6		$5		$30
June 12	Purchase	10		$6		$60
June 18	Purchase	8		$7		$56
	Totals	24		-		$146

 

Assume that 18 units were sold at a sales price of $14.

1. $148.
2. $252.
3. $104.
4. $152.

 

Gross profit

6 @ $5, 10 @ $6, and 2 @ $7 → 2 × $7 = 14 → 30 + 60 + 14 = 104 → 18 × 14 = 252 → 252 – 104 = 148

 

12. Determine the cost of merchandise sold for the transaction on October 8 using the perpetual inventory system and the LIFO method.

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
	Beginning Inventory	5		$10		$50
October 4	Purchase	8		$12		$96
October 8	Sale	6
October 20	Purchase	15		$14		$210
October 25	Sale	12

 

1. $62.
2. $72.
3. $96.
4. $210.

 

 

13. Determine the ending inventory assuming that only one item was sold on March 24 for $14 using the FIFO cost flow method.

 

Date	Item	Units		Cost		Total
March 3	Purchase	1		$6		$6
March 8	Purchase	1		$7		$7
March 22	Purchase	1		$8		$8
	Total	3		$21

 

1. $14.
2. $13.
3. $15.
4. $7.

 

FIFO	1 @ $6 → 21 – 6 = 15

 

14. Financial statement data for December 31, 20, for Alpine Company is shown below:

 

Cost of merchandise sold	$1,050,000
Inventories:
Beginning of year	$380,000

Determine inventory turnover for 2014.

1. 3.0.
2. 2.8.
3. 1.2.
4. 3.3.        

 

Inventory turnover

1,050,000[380,000+320,000÷2]=3

 

15. During the taking of the physical inventory, the company inadvertently counted its inventory as $89,000 instead of the correct amount of $87,000. Indicate the effect of the misstatement on the balance sheet of the current year.
