If Bowman Company is using FIFO and sales and purchases occur intermittently, how is cost of goods sold computed when recording a sale under the perpetual inventory system?
What will be an ideal response?
The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The inventory records are maintained in layers. Each time a transaction occurs, the cost per unit in the first layer of inventory is assigned to the items sold. If the number of items sold exceeds the number of items in the first layer, the cost per unit of the next layer is assigned to the remaining number of units sold, and so on.
