Under FIFO, units are assumed to be sold in the order acquired. Therefore, of the 20 units sold on August 14, the first 10 units come
from beginning inventory. Therefore, those 10 units are removed from the inventory record based on the cost of those units of $91.

The periodic system also uses FIFO, LIFO, specific identification, and weighted average methods to assign costs to inventory and cost of goods sold.
The results may be the same or different under both systems.
Periodic System-Appendix 7APeriodic System-Appendix 7A

Applied in same manner as periodic system.
Yields same results as perpetual system since units are specifically identified.
Specific Identification- Appendix 7ASpecific Identification- Appendix 7A

Steps:
1. Calculate weighted average unit cost.
(# units beg. Inv. X unit cost) + (#units purchased x unit cost) # units available for sale
= weighted average unit cost
2. Use weighted average unit cost to assign costs to cost of goods sold and ending inventory.
Weighted Average-Appendix 7AWeighted Average-Appendix 7A

Yields same results as perpetual system since most recent purchases are in ending inventory under both systems.
FIFO-Appendix 7AFIFO-Appendix 7A
© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.
Yields different results than perpetual system since:
LIFO periodic assigns costs at the end of period.
LIFO perpetual assigns most recent costs to cost of goods sold.
LIFO-Appendix 7ALIFO-Appendix 7A

An error in the ending inventory affects the assets, net income, and owner’s equity of that period.
The ending inventory of one period becomes the opening inventory of the next period. The cost of goods sold and net income of the next period are affected as well.
