    Option (D) $9,600

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Initial units purchased = 400 @ $12.00 each

    Additional units purchased = 600 @ $16.00 each

    Number of units sold = 700

    Now,

    Using the FIFO cost flow method

    Out of the 700 units sold,

    units sold from Initial purchase will be 400 and the remaining units i. e (700 - 400) 300 units will be sold from the additional purchase

    Thus,

    Amount of cost of goods sold

    = (400 * $12) + (300 * $16)

    = $4,800 + $4,800

    = $9,600

    Hence,

    Option (D) $9,600
