    Assuming that you only sold the 12,000 cases and that that was the only selling and happen the same day
    FIFO
    Date... Purchases... Cost of goods sold... Inventroy
    1/1... Beginning inventory... 5000@4= $20,000
    1/10... 3000@5= $15,000... 5000@4= $20,000
    ... 3000@5= $15,000
    2/13... [email protected]= $36,000... 5000@4= $20,000
    ... 3000@5= $15,000
    ... [email protected]=$36,000
    3/5... 2000@5= $10,000... 5000@4= $20,000
