- Cours
Today we will discuss the cost layering methods that are used within the periodic and perpetual inventory systems.
Assumptions for purchases:
50 units purchased on January 1 at $10 each (50 x $10 = $500)
100 units purchased on February 1 at $11 each (100 x $11 = $1,100)
150 units purchased on March 1 at $12 each (150 x $12 = $1,800)
Assumptions for sales:
250 units sold to customer on April 1 for $5,000
Journal entries to record purchases under Periodic Method (entry is the same whether LIFO or FIFO is being used):
January 1: Debit Purchases $500; Credit Accounts Payable $500
February 1: Debit Purchases $1,100; Credit Accounts Payable $1,100
March 1: Debit Purchases $1,800; Credit Accounts Payable $1,800
Total Debits to Purchases = $3,400 ($500 + $1,100 + $1,800)
Journal entries to record purchases under the Perpetual Method (entry is the same whether FIFO or LIFO is being used):
January 1: Debit Inventory $500; Credit Accounts Payable $500
February 1: Debit Inventory $1,100; Credit Accounts Payable $1,100
March 1: Debit Inventory $1,800; Credit Accounts Payable $1,800
Total Debits to Inventory = $3,400 ($500 + $1,100 + $1,800)
Journal entry to record sale - Periodic Method (entry is the same whether using FIFO or LIFO):
April 1: Debit Accounts Receivable $5,000; Credit Revenue $5,000
Adjusting journal entry to record Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory - Periodic Method (Using FIFO):
December 31: Debit Inventory $600 (for ending inventory); Debit Cost of Goods Sold for $2,800; Credit Purchases for $3,400; Credit Inventory for $0 (for beginning inventory)
Adjusting journal entry to record Cost of Goods Sold and Inventory - Periodic Method (Using LIFO):
December 31: Debit Inventory $500 (for ending inventory); Debit Cost of Goods Sold for $2,900; Credit Purchases for $3,400; Credit Inventory for $0 (for beginning inventory)
Journal entries to record sale - Perpetual Method (FIFO):
April 1: Debit Accounts Receivable $5,000; Credit Revenue $5,000
April 1: Debit Cost of Goods Sold $2,800; Credit Inventory $2,800
Journal entries to record sale - Perpetual Method (LIFO):
April 1: Debit Accounts Receivable $5,000; Credit Revenue $5,000
April 1: Debit Cost of Goods Sold $2,900; Credit Inventory $2,900
