Answer:

Flounder Corp.

                                   Weighted Average      FIFO             LIFO

Ending Inventory              $1,414                   $1,580           $1,280

Cost of goods sold          $2,796                 $2,630          $2,930

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date        Explanation      Units     Unit Cost     Total Cost

June 1     Inventory            100          $5               $ 500

June 12   Purchases         385            6                 2,310    

June 23  Purchases        200             7                 1,400

               Total units        685                            $ 4,210

June 30  Inventory          230

June 30  Units Sold        455  (685 - 230)

Weighted Average Cost = Total costs/Total units bought

= $4,210/685 = $6.146

Weighted Average:

Ending Inventory = $1,414 ($6.146 * 230)

Cost of goods sold = $2,796 ($6.146 * 455)

FIFO:

Ending Inventory  = (30 * $6) + (200 * $7) = $1,580

Cost of goods sold = (100 * $5) + (355 * $6) = $2,630

LIFO:

Ending Inventory = (100 * $5) + (130 * $6) = $1,280

Cost of goods sold = (200 * $7) + (255 * $6) = $2,930

The weighted average method is based on an average cost for estimating the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold.  The FIFO method assumes that goods bought initially are the first to be sold while the LIFO method assumes that goods bought last are the first to be sold.
