Using LIFO,the amount reported for ending inventory does not differ depending on whether a company uses a periodic system or a perpetual system.

Consider the following inventory transactions for September: $\begin{array}{lll}\text { Beginning inventory } & 15 \text { units @ \$3.00 } \\\text { Purchase on September 12 } & 20 \text { units @ \$3.50 } \\\text { Purchased on September 23 } & 10 \text { units @ \$4.00 }\end{array}$ For the month of September,the company sold 35 units.What is the cost of good sold under the weighted-average cost method (round the weighted-average unit cost to four decimals if necessary) ?

During 2012,a company sells 200 units of inventory for $50 each.The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for 2012: $\begin{array} { l l c r r } \text { Date } & { \begin{array} { c } \text { Transaction }\end{array} } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Number } \\\text { of Units }\end{array} & \begin{array} { r } \text { Unit } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Total } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} \\\text { Jan. 1 } & \text { Beginning inventory } & 50 & \$ 39 & \$ 1,950 \\\text { May 5 } & \text { Purchase } & 100 & 38 & 3,800 \\\text { Nov. 3 } & \text { Purchase } & 80 & 37 & 2,960 \\\hline& & 230 & & \$ 8,710 \\\hline\end{array}$ Actual sales by the company include its entire beginning inventory,80 units of inventory from the May 5 purchase,and 70 units from the November 3 purchase.Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory for 2012 assuming the company uses specific identification.

The LIFO reserve is the additional amount of inventory a company would report if it used FIFO instead of LIFO.

During 2012,a company sells 20 units of inventory.The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for 2012: $\begin{array} { l l c c c } \text { Date } & { \begin{array} { c } \text { Transaction }\end{array} } & \begin{array} { c } \text { Number } \\\text { of Units }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Unit } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} & \begin{array} { l } \text { Total } \\\text { Cost }\end{array} \\\text { Jan. 1 } & \text { Beginning inventory } & 15 & \$ 60 & \$ 900 \\\text { Sep. 8 } & \text { Purchase } & 10 & 62 & 620 \\\hline & & 25 & & \$ 1,520 \\\hline\end{array}$ Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold for 2012 assuming the company uses LIFO with a periodic inventory system.

Generally,a higher inventory turnover ratio reflects positively on a company's ability to manage its inventory.

Nu Company reported the following data for its first year of operations: $\begin{array} { l r } \text { Net sales } & \$ 2,800 \\\text { Cost of goods sold } & 1,680 \\\text { Operating expenses } & 880 \\\text { Ending inventories } & 820\end{array}$ What is Nu's gross profit ratio?

If a company has beginning inventory of $15,000,purchases during the year of $75,000,and ending inventory of $20,000,cost of goods sold equals $70,000.

In a perpetual inventory system,at the time of a sale the cost of inventory sold is:

When the value of inventory falls below its cost,companies have the option of recording the inventory at cost or the lower market value.

Inventory is usually reported as a long-term asset in the balance sheet.
