Problem Points
The Gant Company uses the perpetual Inventory system and the following information is provided:
Complete the FIFO perpetual schedule from the work paper provided.
Complete the LIFO perpetual Schedule from the work paper provided.
Compute the income statement through gross profit assuming the Sales was $ for the year

Assume that a physical count of the inventory was taken at December and there were only

Inventory as of was $Make sure to take into account the inventory shrinkage in part
when applying the FIFO method.
