Perpetual Inventory Using LIFO

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for portable game players are as follows:

Apr. 1		Inventory	73 units @ $100
10		Sale	51 units
15		Purchase	96 units @ $105
20		Sale	54 units
24		Sale	13 units
30		Purchase	28 units @ $109

The business maintains a perpetual inventory system, costing by the last-in, first-out method.

Determine the cost of merchandise sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, presenting the data in the form illustrated in Exhibit 4.

Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Merchandise Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.
