Data regarding inventory of a particular item of usage in the production activities of an organization are: the quantity in stock is 1500 units and the value of this stock is Rs. 1, 27, 500. (This works out to an average unit cost of Rs. 85) During the ensuing year X, an additional 300 units are purchased at a unit cost of Rs. 95. Consumption in production processes during the year X has been 600 units. Working by the First-in-First-out basis, the value of the residual inventory of the item at the end of the year X will be
- ARs. 1, 00, 000
- BRs. 1, 02, 500
- CRs. 1, 05, 000
- DRs. 1, 07, 500
Explanation
Under FIFO, the 600 units consumed come first from the opening 1500 units @ ₹85, leaving 900 × 85 = ₹76,500, plus the 300 units purchased @ ₹95 = ₹28,500. Residual inventory = ₹76,500 + ₹28,500 = ₹1,05,000. Hence (C).
