In its first month of operations, Quilt Company made 3 purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: 300 units at $6, 400 units at $7, and 300 units at $8. There are 400 units on hand at the end of the period. Quilt uses a periodic inventory system.

Answer:

(1) $2,720

(2) $2,220

Explanation:

Given the following sequence:

300 units at $6, 400 units at $7 and 200 units at $8

(1) FIFO method

Ending inventory = 360 units

Cost of ending Inventory:

= 300 units at $8 + 400 units at $7

= 300 × $8 + 400 × $7

= 2,400 + 2,800

= $5,200

(2) LIFO method

Cost of ending Inventory:

= 300 units at $6 + 60 units at $7

= 300 × $6 + 60 × $7

= 1,800 + 420

= $2,220
