Item QBM Units Cost

Assume that one unit is sold on February 27 for $70.

Determine the gross profit for February and ending inventory on February 28 using (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) average cost methods.

Total 3 $144 Average cost per unit $48 ($144 ÷ 3 units)

Using FIFO, the earliest batch purchased is

considered the first batch of merchandise sold. The

physical flow does not have to match the

accounting method chosen.

Using LIFO, the most recent batch purchased is considered the first batch of

merchandise sold. The actual flow of goods does not have to be LIFO. For example, a

store selling fresh fish would want to sell the oldest fish first (which is FIFO) even though

LIFO is used for accounting purposes.
