    1 & 5) FIFO Ending Inventory $ 10,800

    2) moving average: $ 10,400

    3) weighted average $ 9,520

    4) LIFO $ 8,800

    Explanation:

    January 1 Beg Inv 90 $40 subtotal: $ 3,600

    May 15 Purchase 160 $65 subtotal: $ 10,400

    units: 250 total: $ 14,000

    April 11 Sale 50 $70

    July 25 Sale 30 $75

    Total sales 80 units

    Ending Inventory: 250 - 80 = 170 units

    FIFO the ending inventory is compose of the last nits

    As it follows a crhonological order is the same under periodic and perpetual:

    We start from the top

    May 15th 160 at 65$ $10,400

    170 - 160 units = 10 units

    January 1 Beg Inv 10 units at $40 = $ 400

    Total ending inventory: $ 10,800

    Moving average:

    the average is calculate based on the aailable good at hand before eahc purchase:

    At April 11th the company's available goods are the beginning invenory thus the COGS is

    50 units x 40 dollars each = 2,000

    Then, at July 25th the inventory available is:

    40 units at $40 dollars = 1,600

    and 160 units at 65 dollars = 10,400

    total 200 units at 12,000

    Average: $12,000 / 200 units = $60 per unit

    COGS: 30 units x $60 = 1,800

    Total cost: 2,000 + 1,600 = 3,600

    Ending inventory: 14,000 - 3,600 = 10,400

    Weighted average:

    we divide total goods available over the total units purchased:

    14,000 / 250 = 56 dollar per unit

    ending inventory 170 units x 56 per unit = $ 9,520

    LIFO:

    the last units are sold while the first are ending inventory we start from the top part:

    January 1 Beg Inv 90 $40 subtotal: $ 3,600

    170 units - 90 units = 80 units

    May 15 Purchase 80 $65 subtotal: $ 5,200

    Total $ 8,800
