Value of inventory using FIFO method

An inventory record card shows the following details.

April    1.  40 units in stock at a cost of $20 per unit

6.   90 units purchased at a cost of $35 per unit

15.   50 units sold

22.   80 units purchased at a cost of $30 per unit

27.   75 units sold

What is the value of inventory at 30 April using the FIFO method?

Answer

Total purchase and beginning inventory in unit

= 40 +90+80 =210 units

Total sale in unit =50 + 75 = 125 units

Closing inventory in unit = 210-125= 85 units

Closing inventory in US$ = 2,575 (5 units @$35 and 80 units @$30)
