When LIFO is used with the periodic inventory system, cost of goods sold is assigned costs from the most recent purchases at the point of each sale, rather than from the most recent purchases for the period.

Lucia Company reported cost of goods sold for Year 1 and Year 2 as follows: $\begin{array} { | l | r | r | } \hline & \text { Y ear 1 } & \text { Y ear 2 } \\\hline \text { Beginning inventory } & \$ 120,000 & \$ 130,000 \\\hline \text { Cost of goods purchased } & 250,000 & \underline { 275,000 } \\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { Cost of goods avail able for } \\\text { sale }\end{array} & 370,000 & 405,000 \\\hline \text { Ending inventory } & 130,000 & 135,000 \\\hline \text { Cost of goods sold } & \$ 240,000 & \$ 270,000 \\\hline\end{array}$ Lucia Company made two errors: 1) ending inventory at the end of Year 1 was understated by $15,000 and 2) ending inventory at the end of Year 2 was overstated by $6,000. Given this information, the correct cost of goods sold figure for Year 2 would be:

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $100,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year.
