    Explanation:

    FIFO method:

    begining inventory: 10 units at $ 14

    March 2nd purchases: 10 units at $ 26

    March 6th purchases: 6 units at $ 21

    It sold 23 units:

    We will take units from the top, which are the frist units until fulfil the order.

    23 - 10 units at $ 14 = 13

    After using the beginning inventory, we are still short, so we use next units:

    13 - 10 units at $ 26 = 3

    we are still short by 3 units, so we move to next units:

    3 - 3 units at $ 21 = 0

    We use 3 units from the last purchase and we complete the request.

    Now we calculate cost of goods sold

    Total COGS:

    10 x 14 = 140

    10 x 26 = 260

    3 x 21 = 63

    Total 463
