Answer:

Thorin Corp.

Assuming the LIFO method, cost of goods sold should be reported in the 12/31/17 income statement at:________.

= $41,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date           Units     Cost Per Unit          Total Cost

1/02/17       400               $12                       $4,800

1/16/17        300               $20                     $6,000

3/18/17       600               $24                    $14,400

6/25/17      300               $28                     $8,400

10/16/17      300               $32                    $9,600

12/16/17      100               $36                     $3,600

12/31/17  2,000 Units available for sale $46,800

12/31/17  (1,580) Sales

12/31/17     420 Ending Inventory

Goods available for sale 2,000 $46,800

Ending Inventory is estimated to be =

1/02/17       400     $12     $4,800

1/16/17          20     $20       $400

Total          420                $5,200

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale minus the estimated cost of Ending inventory = $46,800 - $5,200 = $41,600

b) Unfortunately, the dates of sales were not indicated, to enable the exact determination of the cost of goods sold under the LIFO method.
