    Ending inventory $210

    Explanation:

    Perpetual inventory system:

    Cost of Goods Sold and ending inventory are calcualte after every sale.

    Inventory available at the moment of sale:

    Beginning inventory of 15 units at a cost of $12 = $180

    June 5, Jacobs purchased 10 units at $13 per unit = $130

    On June 12, it purchased 20 units at $14 per unit = $280

    units for sale: 45 cost of goods available for sale 590

    we sold 30 units. Units at ending Inventory: 45 - 30 = 15

    We are asked for FIFO method:

    first units are sold and newest are inventory so, ending invenotry will be compose of units fro mthe nearest purchase which is June 12th

    15 units x $14 each = $ 210
