1. LIFO Perpetual Inventory

   The beginning inventory for Dunne Co. and data on purchases and sales for a three-month period are as follows:

   Date		Transaction	Number of Units		Per Unit		Total
   Apr. 3		Inventory	25		$1,200		$30,000
   8		Purchase	75		1,240		93,000
   11		Sale	40		2,000		80,000
   30		Sale	30		2,000		60,000
   May 8		Purchase	60		1,260		75,600
   10		Sale	50		2,000		100,000
   19		Sale	20		2,000		40,000
   28		Purchase	80		1,260		100,800
   June 5		Sale	40		2,250		90,000
   16		Sale	25		2,250		56,250
   21		Purchase	35		1,264		44,240
   28		Sale	44		2,250		99,000

   Required:

   1. Record the inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold data in a perpetual inventory record similar to the one illustrated in Exhibit 4, using the last-in, first-out method. Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Goods Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.

   1. When the perpetual inventory system is used, revenue is recorded each time a sale is made along with an entry to record the cost of the goods sold. LIFO means the last units purchased are assumed to be the first to be sold. Therefore after each sale, the remaining or ending inventory is made up of the first or earliest purchases. Think of your inventory in terms of "layers." The first sale comes from the most recent purchase layer. When deciding which layer to use for costing of each sale ask yourself: "Is there enough inventory left in the most recent purchase to cover the sale?" If not, the other units sold should be taken from the second most recent purchase layer, which then contains the most recent costs. Continue this process for each transaction. If you have done this problem correctly, the remaining units making up ending inventory will be costed at the April 3 beginning inventory and the May 28 unit purchase price.

   2. Total sales are obtained by taking the number of units sold times their sale prices for all sales and adding these amounts together. The total cost of goods sold can be obtained by adding the LIFO costs in the perpetual inventory record. Sales minus cost of goods sold equals gross profit.

   3. The ending inventory is what is left after subtracting the cost of goods sold from the goods available for sale. Multiply the units remaining after the last sale by their corresponding earliest layer cost to determine the LIFO cost of the ending inventory.
