Garrett Company has the following transactions during the months of April and May:

Date	Transaction	Units	Cost/Unit
April 1	Balance	500
17	Purchase	200	$5.10
25	Sale	150
28	Purchase	100	5.80
May 5	Purchase	250	5.10
18	Sale	300
22	Sale	50

The cost of the inventory on April 1 is $5, $4, and $2 per unit, respectively, under the FIFO, average, and LIFO cost flow assumptions.

Required:

1. Compute the inventories at the end of each month and the cost of goods sold for each month for the following alternatives:

1. FIFO periodic

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

2. FIFO perpetual

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

3. LIFO periodic

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

4. LIFO perpetual (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest cent.)

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

5. Weighted average (Round unit costs to 4 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar.)

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

6. Moving average (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places and final answers to nearest dollar.)

   	Cost of Goods Sold	Ending Inventory
   April	$	$
   May	$	$

2. Reconcile the difference between the LIFO periodic and the LIFO perpetual results. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
