Explanation:

Wooderson Company

Periodic inventory system

Units Unit Cost Total Cost

3/1 Beginning inventory 100 $40 $ 4000

3/3 Purchase 60 $50 $ 3000

3/4 Sales 60 $80 $ 4800

3/10 Purchase 200 $55 $ 11000

3/16 Sales 70 $90 $ 6300

3/19 Sales 90 $90 $ 8100

3/25 Sales 60 $90 $ 5400

3/30 Purchase 40 $60 $ 2400

Sales = $ 4800 + $ 6300 + $ 8100 + $ 5400 = $ 246,000

Ending Inventory = 120 units

FIFO Ending Inventory = $ 6800

40 units at $60 = $ 2400

80 units at $55 = $ 4400

FIFO COST OF GOODS SOLD = SALES Less FIFO Ending Inventory

= $ 246,000 - $ 6800 = $ 239,200

b) Weighted Average Inventory = (Total Cost / Total Units) Ending Units = (20,400 / 400) * 120 = $ 6120

c) LIFO Ending Inventory = $ 5000

100 units at $40 = $ 4000

20 units at $ 50 = $ 1000
