Cost of goods available for sale 349 units $ 7,611
Ending Inventory 30 units
Value at
average cost 7611/349 x 30 = $654
FIFO 30 x 23 = 690
LIFO 30 x 18 = 540

Cost of goods sold
Average cost 7611-654= 6957
FIFO 7611-690 = 6921
LIFO 7611-540 = 7071

Cost of goods available is for sale is:
Begining inventory of (67 * price) + purchases of (96 * price), (161 * price), (41 * price) = 365 with a total price of $7611

Ending inventory is: 365 - 319 units sold = 46units.
Avg cost of ending inventory is: $7611/365 * 46 = $959.19
COGS is: $7611 - 959.19 = $6651.81

Fifo ending inventory is 41 units @<hidden>$23 + 5 units @<hidden> $22 = $1053
COGS is: $7611 - 1053 = $6558

Lifo ending inventory is: 46 units @<hidden> = $828
COGS is: $7611 - 828 = $6783
