    a. Using FIFO (First in, first out)

    We have

    Cost of goods sold = $1240 due to the fact that the first good bought cost $1240

    Ending inventory = $1570

    b. Using LIFO (last in, first out)

    We have

    Cost of goods sold = $1570 due to the fact that it was bought last

    Ending inventory = $1240

    c. Weighted average = (cost of good sold + ending inventory) : 2

    Thus

    = (1240 + 1570) : 2

    = 2810 : 2

    = $1405
