Explanation of Solution
Cost of goods sold:
Cost of goods sold is the accumulate total of all direct cost incurred in manufacturing the goods or the products which has been sold during a period. Cost of goods sold involves direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overheads.
Therefore, the cost of goods sold available for sale for 300 units of inventory is $4,060.
1. (b) and (c)
Compute the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under weighted average-cost method.
1. (b) and (c)
Explanation of Solution
In Average Cost Method the cost of inventory is priced at the average rate of the goods available for sale. Following is the mathematical representation:

- Hurst Companys beginning inventory and purchases during the fiscal year ended December 31, 20-2, were as follows: There are 1,200 units of inventory on hand on December 31, 20-2. REQUIRED 1. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the cost of goods sold for 20-2 and ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following periodic inventory methods: (a) FIFO (b) LIFO (c) Weighted-average (round calculations to two decimal places) 2. Assume that the market price per unit (cost to replace) of Hursts inventory on December 31 was 18. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following methods: (a) FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market (b) Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market 3. In addition to taking a physical inventory on December 31, Hurst decides to estimate the ending inventory and cost of goods sold. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 20-2, net sales of 100,000 were made at a normal gross profit rate of 35%. Use the gross profit method to estimate the cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended December 31 and the inventory on December 31.arrow_forwardReid Company uses the periodic inventory system.
