A company that uses the LIFO inventory cost method records the following purchases and sales for an accounting period:
Beginning inventory, July 1: $5,000, 10 units
July 8: Purchase of $2,600 (5 units)
July 12: Sale of $2,200 (4 units)
July 15: Purchase of $2,800 (5 units)
July 21: Sale of $1,680 (3 units)
The company’s cost of goods sold using a perpetual inventory system is:

With a perpetual inventory system, units purchased and sold are recorded in inventory in the order that the purchases and sales occur. Cost of goods sold for the July 12 sale uses 4 of the units purchased on July 8: 4 × ($2,600 / 5) = $2,080. Cost of goods sold for the July 21 sale uses 3 of the units purchased on July 15: 3 × ($2,800 / 5) = $1,680. COGS = $2,080 + $1,680 = $3,760.
Inventory, cost of sales, and gross profit can be different under periodic and perpetual inventory systems if a firm uses which inventory cost method?

The LIFO and weighted average cost methods can provide different values for inventory, cost of sales, and gross profit depending on whether the firm uses a periodic or perpetual inventory system. FIFO produces the same values from either a periodic or perpetual inventory system.
