Cost Flow Methods

The following three identical units of Item K113 are purchased during April:

	Item Beta		Units		Cost
April 2	Purchase		1		$136
April 15	Purchase		1		138
April 20	Purchase		1		140
Total			3		$414
Average cost per unit					$138	($414 3 units)

Assume that one unit is sold on April 27 for $186. Determine the gross profit for April and ending inventory on April 30 using the (a) first-in, first-out (FIFO); (b) last-in, first-out (LIFO); and (c) weighted average cost method.

	Gross Profit	Ending Inventory
a. First-in, first-out (FIFO)	$fill in the blank 1	$fill in the blank 2
b. Last-in, first-out (LIFO)	$fill in the blank 3	$fill in the blank 4
c. Weighted average cost	$fill in the blank 5	$fill in the blank 6

The following units of an item were available for sale during the year:
