17. Question three:
Seif Company sells many products. chairs is one of its popular items. Below is an analysis of
the inventory purchases and sales of chairs for the month of April. Seif’s Company uses the
periodic inventory system. Ending Inventory is determined to be 150 unit.
Purchases
Units Unit
Cost
3/1 Beginning inventory 150 $40
3/3 Purchase 50 $50
3/10 Purchase 250 $55
3/30 Purchase 100 $65
Instructions
(a) Using the FIFO assumption, calculate the amount charged to cost of goods sold for
April. (Show computations)
(b) Using the weighted average method, calculate the amount assigned to the inventory on
hand on April 30. (Show computations)
(c) Using the LIFO assumption, calculate the amount assigned to the inventory on hand on
April 30. (Show computations)

18. Answer:
Ending Inventory = 150 units
a) Using FIFO assumption:
COGS = (150 x 40) + (50 x 50) + (200 x 55)
= 6,000 + 2,500 + 11,000
=19,500
b) Using weight average method:
Total units = 550
Total cost = 28,750$
Average unit weight = 28,750$ / 550 = 52.27$ / Unit
COGS = 400 x 52.27 = 20,908$ Cost of
ending = 150 x 52.27 = 7,840.5$
c) Using LIFO assumption:
COGS = (100 x 65) + (250 x 55) + (50 x 50)
= 6,500 + 13,750 + 2,500
=22,750$
Cost of ending = 150 x40 = 6,000$

19. Question Four:
Assume that Swann Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account

$55,000; and net sales of $750,000.
Instructions:
Determine the:
a) cost of goods sold and
b) Gross profit (show computations)

20. Answer:
a)
45,000 (Beg. Inventory)
+ 630,000 (Purchases)
- 25,000 (Purchases returns & allowance)
- 11,000 (Purchases dis.)
+ 19,000 (Freight in)
658,000
- 55,000 (Ending inventory) COGS = 603,000
b)
Gross profit = Sales Rev. - COGS
= 750,000 - 603,000
= 147,000
c)
Income statement:
Sales Revenues 750,000
Total Revenues 750,000
Beginning Inventory 45,000
Purchases 630,000
