Answer:

Jan. 1 Inventory 4,000 units at $40

Apr. 19 Sale 2,500 units

June 30 Purchase 4,500 units at $44

Sept. 2 Sale 5,000 units Nov. 15

Purchase 2,000 units at $46

Cost of goods sold under LIFO (last in, first out):

April 19 sale = 2,500 units x $40 = $100,000

Inventory on hand after April 19 sale:

  • Jan. 1 Inventory 1,500 units at $40

September 2 sale = (4,500 units x $44) + (500 units x $40) = $218,000

Inventory on hand after September 2 sale:

  • Jan. 1 Inventory 1,000 units at $40 = $4,000

Total COGS = $318,000

Ending inventory = (1,000 x $40) + (2,000 x $46) = $132,000
