    FIFO:
    Your Jun 6 sale will be at your Jun 1 cost.

    Your Jun 19 sale will be 15 units at your Jun 1 cost and the remainder at your Jun 14 purchase price.

    Your Jun 25 will be at your Jun 14 purchase price.

    LIFO:
    Your Jun 6 sale will be at your Jun 1 cost.

    Your Jun 19 sale will be at your Jun 14 purchase price.

    Your Jun 25 sale will be at your Jun 14 purchase price.

    You should now be able to solve your homework problem.
