Fatima Snow · Answer 1

The amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is $1,075

Explanation:

On July 31, there are 30 units on hand. Number of units the company sells in the month:

15+65+5-30 = 55 units

July 1 Beginning Inventory 15 units at $20 $300

July 7 Purchases 65 units at $19

July 22 Purchases 5 units at $25

Sheffield uses the LIFO inventory method. The LIFO is a method used to account value for inventory. Under the method, the last item of inventory purchased is the first one sold.

Cost of goods sold for July = 5 x $25 + 50 x $19 = $125 + $950 = $1,075
