1. FIRST-IN-FIRST-OUT METHOD (fifo)
Example 2.1:
Calculate the coat of inventory on hand on 31 Jan 20.4 using First in first
out method.
Additional information:
1. Inventory on 1 January 20.4 was 86 items @ R28 each.
2. Sales: 476 items during January 20.4
3. The periodic inventory system was used.
, ANSWER: Feeders
Number of items on 31 Jan 20.4 (513 - 476) 37
Items available for sale (86+123+100+67+122+15) 513
Items sold (476)
Inventory on 31 January 20.4 using first-in-first-out method:
Number of items Price per item Value
R R
15 50 750
22 46 1012
1762
2. Weighted Average Method:
Formula:
Total value of available units x Units on hand = WAP
Total number of available units 1
Total value of available units = Opening inventory (Rand value) +
Total Purchases (Rand value)
