Company X purchased inventory for $2,700. X normally pays additional shipping charges of $300 per order, but in this one instance paid $900 to rush the shipment because inventory levels on hand had fallen unusually low. At what cost should X record the inventory?

On December 20, 2012, Company X purchased $100 of inventory on account from its supplier. The supplier offered a 2% discount on the purchase if X pays within 10 days. X paid the discounted $98 on December 27. At what amount would X report the inventory on its balance sheet dated December 31? X uses the gross method of accounting for purchase discounts.

X, Inc., uses the LIFO cost flow assumption. X had 100 items in its Jan. 1 beginning inventory balance, totaling $500 (that is, $5 each). X purchased another 200 items on Jan. 9 for $7 each. On Jan. 12 X sold 230 items for $10 each. By how much did this LIFO liquidation increase X's usual profit on a sale of 230 items?

X, Inc., is a manufacturer that can produce 10,000 units per quarter at capacity. However, normal production ranges from 9,000 to 10,000 units. During the quarter, X has fixed overhead costs of $80,000 and produces only 8,000 units due to unexpected maintenance issues that forced the facility to close for several days. How much of the $80,000 in fixed overhead costs should X include in its Inventory balances for the quarter?
