Hanna’s accountant recommended that she should use the average cost method in order to determine the cost of the inventory sold but she is not sure about the consequences it may have on his financial situation.

1. Prepare an Income statement of the company at the end of January using as method of valuation of the inventory the average cost method, LIFO and FIFO for each one of the products sold by Hanna, and calculate the balance of the inventory at the end of the month. Explain the calculations.

2. In order to compare with the records made by her accountant, Hanna asks you to prepare the different journal entries for the purchases and sales mentioned above for each one of the 3 different methods used above.
