Cost of goods available for sale
$



Number of units available for sale (units)




Compute the number of units in ending inventory.


Ending Inventory (units)



Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) specific identification (Note: The units sold consist of 500 units from beginning inventory, 300 units from the February 10 purchase, 200 from the March 13 purchase, 50 from the August 21 purchase and 200 from the September 5 purchase, and), (d) weighted average. (Cost of goods sold equals the number of units sold multiplied by the per unit cost, rounded to the nearest cent. The inventory balance equals the number of units remaining multiplied by the per unit cost, rounded to the nearest cent. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount. Round your average cost per unit to 3 decimal places. Total cost of goods sold plus ending inventory may not be equal to the cost of goods available for sale. The difference is due to rounding.
