Hi,
Trying to do part B the correct answer is £61,333.33 but i keep getting £73905.88235 looked at it for 30 minutes now it is driving me mad :cursing:
These are my workings:
104,700/34,000 = £3.079411765 per unit
Issues 10,000kg
therefore £3.079411765 per unit * 10,000 = £30794.11765
£104700 - £30794.11765 = £73,905.88235
which leaves me with me the remaining balance of 24,000kg at a total cost of £73,905.88235
can not get £61.333.33 correct answer what am i doing wrong please?
Fresh pair of eyes is very needed and appreciated
Thank you !

Hi,
Look at the date in the question! It's asking for the value after the first issue, not at the end. (I admit I just did the same!)
After the 3 dec receipt we have 30,000 kg at a total cost of £92,000.
The 14 Dec issue of 10000kg is charged at £30666.667 (92000/30000 * 10000), leaving you with £61333.333 worth of inventory (92000-30666.667 or alternatively 92000/30000 * 20000)0 -

Thank you ! the question is worded very confusingly (in my mind anyway)
i can stop being frustrated with this one now :001_smile:0 -
No, they're just making sure you read the question. I'll be the first to admit, I skim read it and missed the date first time - my own fault and exactly what they were testing.0

Think what is confusing me is the "inventory remaining after the issue of inventory on 14th December" this to me would mean after the issue of 10,000kg total cost £30,000 on the 14th
think i am going to have to come back and read this again tomorrow see if the mud clears then , my brain is getting frazzled0 -
It does mean that, but you've had an extra delivery of stock so the total cost is no longer £30,000. If you were using the FIFO method then the 10,000 issued would be the £30,000 stock, but you're using AVCO in this part of the question so the issued goods are a mixture of the delivery and the opening balance.
Go have some lunch and I bet it all clicks afterwards.0 -
