    Lifo Vs. Fifo
    I have to calculate the cost of ending inventory and COGS (cost of goods sold). Every time I try I come up with something different, anyone like to help me?

    Beginning Inventory Jan. 1 64 units @ $11 TC $ 704
    Purchase Jan. 15 249 units @ $12 TC $ 2988
    Purchase Jan. 24 103 units @ $13 TC $ 1339

    You need some kind of sales info for this question otherwise LIFO and FIFO are the same.

    Please give it a try and walk me through what you are doing and how you come up with it. Then I will see what you are doing wrong and help. Thanks C

    In FIFO you sold 64 units of your Jan 1 Inventoy and 63 units of your Jan 15 inventory.
    Take the these numbers X your unit costs to get COGS.

    In LIFO you sold 127 unit of your 15 Jan inventory. Take these units X the unit price to get COGS.

    COGS will be different between the 2 methods because of the different unit costs used.
