Jan 25 Purchase 50 @ 16 = 800
Goods available for sale 300 $3 ,690
Sold a total of 230 units for $20 per unit. Timing of sales is as follows:
Jan. 1- Sold 30 units (actual CPU* $10)
Jan. 9- Sold 70 units (actual CPU: 20 @ $10 and 50 @ $11)
Jan 17-Sold 100 units (actual CPU: 50 @ $13, 30 @ $11 and 20 @ $10)
Jan 28-Sold 30 units (actual CPU: 20 @ 16, 10 @ $13)
*CPU= Cost per unit
Cost Flow Assumptions or
Methods of Assigning Cost to Units as Sold (CGS)
(Using a Perpetual Inventory System)
(1) Specific Identification – Each time a sale occurs, the actual invoice cost of
the units sold is identified and charged to cost of goods sold. This leaves the actual
cost of units left in inventory.
(2) Weighted Average – Each time a sale occurs, the weighted average cost per
unit is determined (based on total cost of goods available at point of sale divided
by total number of units of goods available at point of sale). This cost is charged
to cost of goods sold, leaving a weighted average cost in inventory.
(3) First-in, First-out (FIFO) – Each time a sale occurs, the costs of the earliest
units acquired are charged to cost of goods sold, leaving costs of most recent
purchases in inventory.
(4) Last-in, First-out (LIFO) – Each time a sale occurs, costs of the most
recent purchases are charged to cost of goods sold, leaving costs of earliest
purchases in inventory.

Cost Flow Assumptions or
Methods of Assigning Cost to Units in Ending Inventory
(Using a Periodic Inventory System)
(1) Specific Identification - requires that each item in an
inventory be assigned its actual invoice cost.
(2) Weighted Average - a weighted average cost per unit is
determined based on total cost and units of goods available for sale. This cost is
assigned to units in the ending inventory.
(3) First-in, First-out (FIFO) - assumes the first units acquired
(beginning inventory) are the first to be sold and that additional sales flow is in the
order purchased. Therefore, the costs of the last items received are assigned to the
ending inventory.
(4) Last-in, First-out (LIFO) - assumes the last units acquired
(most recent purchase) are the first units sold. Therefore, the cost of the first items
acquired (starting with beginning inventory) is assigned to the ending inventory.
Note: In all methods, Cost of Good Sold equals Cost of Good Available minus
Ending Inventory (as computed by chosen method).

OBSERVATIONS
CGA Net Sales
- EI (varies by method) - CGS (affected by method)
CGS (affected by method) Gross Profit (affected by method)
Verbally identify the impact of LIFO & FIFO on net income in a period of rising
prices and a period of declining prices.
Which method(s) will result in the same EI and CGS under both a Perpetual and
Periodic Inventory System?
