    FIFO stands for first in first out so to solave this, your sale of 200 units came from your beginning inventory. So 200 units in beginning inventory times your unit price of $1.50 equals your Cost of Goods Sold amount.

    Your 200 units times your sale price equals your Sales amount.

    The difference between your Sales amount and your Cost of Goods Sold amounts equals your profit.
