Let say company A has an opening inventory balance of $50,000 for the month of July.
During the remaining financial year, the company has made purchases amounting $20,000
and during that time, on the company’s income statement, the cost of goods sold is $40,000.
Particulars Amounts
Beginning Inventory 50,000
Inventory Purchases 20,000
Cost of Goods Sold 40,000
Ending Inventory is calculated using the formula given below
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Inventory Purchases – Cost of Goods Sold
Ending Inventory 30,000
Now let see another example to find ending inventory using FIFO, LIFO and Weighted average method.
Let say a company XYZ has beginning inventory of 10 unit with a unit price of $10 per unit. The market
environment is inflationary which means that prices of the unit are increasing in the market.
Company has made a few purchases in month 1 and 2 in this inflationary environment.
Particulars Units Price Per Units Total Value
Beginning Inventory 10 $10.00 $100.00
Purchases in Month 1 4 $12.00 $48.00
Purchases in Month 2 6 $14.00 $84.00
Total Inventory 20 $232.00
Let say that company has sold 15 units and they are left with only 5 units of inventory
Units Solds 15
FIFO Method
First 10 Unit will be sold at $10 per Unit $100.00
Next 4 Units will be sold at $12 per Unit $48.00
Next 1 Units will be sold at $14 per Unit $14.00
Total Sold Inventory $162.00
Ending Inventory is calculated using the formula given below
Ending Inventory = Total Inventory - Total Sold Inventory
Ending Inventory $70.00
LIFO Method
First 6 Units will be sold at $14 per Unit $84.00
Next 4 Units will be sold at $12 per Unit $48.00
Next 5 Units will be sold at $15 per Unit $50.00
Total Sold Inventory $182.00
Ending Inventory is calculated using the formula given below
Ending Inventory = Total Inventory - Total Sold Inventory
Ending Inventory $50.00
Weighted Average Cost Method
Average Cost is calculated using the formula given below
Average Cost = Total Value of Inventory / Total Number of Units
Average Cost $11.60
Total Sold Inventory is calculated using the formula given below
Total Sold Inventory = Average Cost * Units Sold
Total Sold Inventory $174.00
Ending Inventory is calculated using the formula given below
Ending Inventory = Total Inventory - Total Sold Inventory
Ending Inventory $58.00
