PPossible cost allocation approaches for costs that are both product
and period costs:
c. Electricity consumption is metered. Electric bills relating to usage at
production facilities would be considered product costs. Electricity
d. Property and casualty insurance premiums may be allocated
between product and period costs based on the value of the insured
k. Workers compensation insurance pays expenses related to on the
job injuries. This coverage applies to all employees, not just factory
E9-3. Computing ending inventory and cost of goods sold under
different cost flow assumptions (LO 2, 4)
(AICPA adapted)
For all the cost flow assumptions, we first compute Goods available
for sale first. Second, we then compute Ending inventory based on
the appropriate cost flow assumption. Third, we compute Cost of
Goods available for sale:
A physical count yields 200 units, and we also get 200 by
subtracting 350 units sales from the 550 units available.
