    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Jessica's Office Supply, Inc., had 300 calculators on hand on January 1, 2017, costing $16 each.

    Purchases and sales of calculators during January were as follows:

    January 12: 200 units for $25

    J 14: 150 for $17

    J 29: 100 for $18

    J 30: 150 for $30

    According to a physical count, 200 calculators were on hand on January 31, 2017.

    FIFO:

    Inventory = 150*30 + 50*18 = $5,400

    COGS = 300*16 + 200*25 + 150*17 + 50*18 = $13,250

    LIFO:

    Inventory = 200*16 = $3,200

    COGS = 150*30 + 100*18 + 150*17 + 200*25 + 100*16 = 15,450

    Average cost method:

    Average cost = (16 + 25 + 17 + 18 + 30) / 5 = 21.2

    Inventory = 21.2*200 = $4,240

    COGS = 21.2 * 700 = $14,840
