    FIFO and LIFO inventory method
    9/1 On Hand, 300 Units@ 1.50 Each $450.00
    9/6 Purchased 1000 Units @ 1.65 Each $1650.00
    9/18 Purchased 800 Units @1.75 Each $1400.00
    Total Cost Of Goods Ava. $3500.00
    9/30 On Hand Inventory 425 Units

    I Get A Little Confused With The Fifo/lifo Methods. Can You Tell Me If I Have Figured These Questions Right?

    If 9/30 Inventory Includes 250 Units From 9/6 Purchases And 175 Units From 9/18 Purchase, The Ending Inventory For 9/30 Under The Specific Identification Method Would Be
    My Answer: $718.75

    Using The Fifo Inventory Method, The Amount Assigned To The 9/30 Inventory Would Be?
    My Answer: $743.75

    Using The Lifo Method The Ending Inventory At 9/30 Would Be?
    My Answer: $637.50

    Using The Weighted Average Cost Inventory, The Amount Assigned To The 9/30 Inventory Would Be?
    My Answer: $708.33

    Can Someone Tell Me If I'm Confused Or Not?

    Thanks

    The hospital for Ordinary surgery uses pharmaceuticals for its patients. It started the year on Jan 1 with an inventory of 1000 doses of an antibiotic drug that cost $17 per dose. On Jan 2, it purchased another 300 doses for $21 each. From January 3 through June 30 it used 800 doses. On July 1. it bought 500 more doses at $23 each. From July 2 through the end of the year it used 400 doses. What is the inventory value at the end of the year, assuming FIFO? What is the value assuming LIFO?
