    31 August Inventory on hand-9,400 units.

    FIFO Ending Inventory $58,720

    5,200 units for $ 30,160

    4,200 units for $6.80 each. $ 28,560

    FIFO Cost OF Goods Sold

    =$ 20,800 + $ 107,200 + $ 65,280 + $ 30,160 - $58,720 = 223,400-$58,720 = $ 164,720

    LIFO Ending Inventory $ 62340

    3,200 units; cost $6.50 each. $ 20,800

    6,200 units for $6.70 each = $ 41540

    LIFO Cost OF Goods Sold

    =$ 20,800 + $ 107,200 + $ 65,280 + $ 30,160 - $ 62340 = 223,400-$ 62340=$ 161,100

    Average Cost Ending Inventory = $223,400 / 34,000 = 6.570

    9,400 * 6.570 = $ 61,763

    Average Cost of Goods Sold = (Total Units - Ending Unit) * 6.57=

    = $ 223,380
