Net earnings is to be evaluated under four different situations as follows: i. Prices are rising: Situation A-FIFO is used. Situation B-Weighted average is used. ii. Prices are falling: Situation C-FIFO is used. Situation DWeighted average is used. The basic data common to all four situations are sales, 500 units for $15,000; beginning inventory, 300 units; purchases, 400 units; ending inventory, 200 units; and operating expenses, $4,000. The following tabulated statements of earnings for each situation have been set up for analytical purposes: Required: 1. Compute the missing values for each situation. In Situations A and B (prices rising), assume the following: beginning inventory, 300 units at $11 = $3,300; purchases, 400 units at $12 = $4,800. In Situations C and D (prices falling), assume the opposite; that is, beginning inventory, 300 units at $12 = $3,600; purchases, 400 units at $11 = $4,400. Use periodic inventory procedures. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
