The following information relates to inventory for Shoeless Joe Inc. Date Quantity Price March 1 Beginning Inventory 20 $ 2 March 7 Purchase 15 3 March 11 Sale 30 7 March 12 Purchase 15 6 At what amount would Shoeless report cost of goods sold using the weighted-average cost flow assumption?

Respuesta :

Answer:

By $105 amount would Shoe-less report cost of goods sold using the weighted-average cost flow assumption.

Explanation:

Given information:

March 1 - Beginning Inventory = 20 × $2 =$40

March 7 - Purchase = 15 ×$3 =$45

March 11 - Sale = 30 × $7 = $210

March 12- Purchase = 15 × $6 = $90

By using this information, we can calculate the cost of goods sold under weight-age average method.

Steps for calculating the COGS :

1. First we have to calculate the average price per unit . For this we have to divide the total cost by total units. In weight-age average method, the sale part is not considered

Total cost = $40+$45+$90

                = $175

Total unit = 20+15+15

               = 50 units

Therefore,

Average price per unit = Total cost ÷ total units

                                      = $175 ÷ 50 units

                                      =  3.5 price per unit

Now, we calculate the cost of goods sold

= Purchase inventory of 7th march + Purchase inventory of 12 march * Price per unit

= 15 +15 × 3.5

= 30 * 3.5

= $105

Thus, By $105 amount would Shoe-less report cost of goods sold using the weighted-average cost flow assumption.

Answer:

The cost of goods sold is $105

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold is also termed as cost of sales , in this amount all the cost related to direct expenses will be included. Direct expenses like labor cost , cost incurred while producing the goods etc are included in the cost of goods sold, while indirect expenses like cost incurred in distribution of goods is not included in the cost of goods sold.

The cost flow assumption here is an assumption under which we are taking out the cost of sales or ending inventory by adding all the cost(related to direct expenses) and then divide the total cost by number of units that were purchased, from this we will get the average price per unit. The next step is to multiply this per unit cost by the number of units that were sold.

First step to calculate the total cost -

DATE          QUANTITY          PRICE          AMOUNT(QUANTITY X PRICE)

1 MARCH          20                     $2                    $40 (OPENING INVENTORY)

7 MARCH          15                     $3                     $45 (PURCHASE)

12 MARCH         15                     $6                     $90 (PURCHASE)

TOTAL               50(UNITS)                                 $175 (TOTAL COST)

Next step is to take out the cost per unit -

[tex]\frac{total cost}{number of units purchased}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\$ 175}{50}[/tex]

Therefore the per unit cost is $3.5

And the last step is to multiply the per unit cost by the number of unit sold,

COGS(Cost of good sold) = number of units sold x per unit cost

                                           = 30 x $3.5

                                           = $105
