the following bases:
(1) Last-in,

currently.
(2) Last-in,
first-out. No book inventory is maintained.
Solution: (1) Lifo-perpetual inventory
Material

Cost of the
material issued Rs. 20,662/50
(2) Lifo-no book
inventory
Cost of
purchases of the material:
Rs.
1,050 units at
10/25 (Inventory) 10,762/50
1,200 units at
10/50 12,600/00
600 units 11/00 6,600/00
300 units at
10/75 3,225/00
33,187/50
Less inventory
of the material (earliest costs):
at Rs. 10/25 10,762/50
3, 1967 (balance) 150 units
at Rs. 10/50 1,575/00
12,337/50
Cost of the
material issued. Rs. 20,850/00
(It will be
observed that there was no difference in the cost of the material issued by
fifo system both under perpetual inventory and under no book inventory, but
here the two figures are different).
