Required:

i) Mr and Mrs Spot have heard of the two inventory methods periodic and perpetual methods, and they have also heard of the terms First-in-first-out and Weighted average cost, but dont really know anything more about them. Prepare a memo to Mr and Mrs Spot explaining each of these methods/terms.

ii) After Mr and Mrs Spot received your memo above, they both agree that the First-in-first-out method suits their business. They are still undecided about which inventory method should be used (either the perpetual or periodic methods), and have asked you to prepare journal entries for all of the companys transactions for January using the two different methods (using the First-in-first-out basis), so that they can see how the journal entries differ.
