Alli Co. uses the perpetual inventory system and the last-in, first-out costing technique.

Transportation-in and purchase discounts could be added to the Inventory Control Sheet, but since this can complicate the computation of the Last-in, first-out costing technique, please ignore this step in the process. They also use the Allowance technique for bad debt.

Inventory Control Sheet could be updated as each transaction affects them (daily).
