There are 1,200 units of inventory on hand on December 31, 20-2.

Required:

1. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the cost of goods sold for 20-2 and ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following periodic inventory methods:

	Cost of Goods Sold	Cost of Ending Inventory
a. FIFO	$fill in the blank 1	$fill in the blank 2
b. LIFO	$fill in the blank 3	$fill in the blank 4
c. Weighted-average (round calculations to two decimal places)	$fill in the blank 5	$fill in the blank 6

2. Assume that the market price per unit (cost to replace) of Hursts inventory on December 31 was $18. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following methods:

a. FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market	$fill in the blank 7
b. Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market	$fill in the blank 8

3. In addition to taking a physical inventory on December 31, Hurst decides to estimate the ending inventory and cost of goods sold. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 20-2, net sales of $100,000 were made at a normal gross profit rate of 35%. Use the gross profit method to estimate the cost of goods sold for the fiscal year ended December 31 and the inventory on December 31.
