Alphabet Company, which uses the periodic inventory method, purchases different letters for resale. Alphabet had no beginning inventory. It purchased A thru G in January at $5.50 per letter. In February, it purchased H thru L at $7.50 per letter. It purchased M thru R in March at $8.50 per letter. It sold A, D, E, H, J and N in October. There were no additional purchases or sales during the remainder of the year.
If Alphabet Company uses the FIFO method, what is the cost of its ending inventory?

$24

$42

$58

$76

$94

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the ending inventory using the FIFO method is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the ending inventory units which is

= 7 units from A to G + 5 units from H to L + 6 units from M to R

= 18 units

And, 6 units are sold

So, the ending inventory units is 12 units

Now the ending inventory is

From last to beginning

= 6 units × $8.50 + 5 units × $7.50 + 1 units × $5.50

= $51 + $37.5 + 5.50

= $94
