During 2019, Ortman sold 65,000,000 gallons at $0.75 per gallon (35,000,000 gallons were sold on June 29 and 30,000,000 gallons were sold on Nov. 22), leaving an ending inventory of 7,000,000 gallons. Assume that Ortman uses a perpetual inventory system. Ortman uses the lower of cost or market for its inventories, as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Required:
1. Assume that the market value of the chemical is $0.76 per gallon on December 31, 2019. Compute the cost of ending inventory using the FIFO and average cost methods, and then apply LCM. (Use four decimal places for per-unit calculations and round all other numbers to the nearest dollar.)
2. Assume that the market value of the chemical is $0.58 per gallon on December 31, 2019. Compute the cost of ending inventory using the FIFO and average cost methods, and then apply LCM. (Use four decimal places for per-unit calculations and round all other numbers to the nearest dollar.)
