Jayvion Beltran · Answer 1

COGS = $6090

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Inventory, January 1, 2016: 130 units at $15.00

Purchase 200 units at $18.00

Purchase 50 units at $13.50

Purchase 110 units at $15.75

Ending Inventory, December 31, 2016: 120 units

We need to calculate the cost of goods sold.

First, we determine the number of units sold:

Units sold = beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Units sold = 130 + 360 - 120 = 370 units

Now, we can calculate the COGS

Inventory method: FIFO (First-in, first-out).

COGS = 130*$15 + 200*$18 + 40*13.5 = $6090
