Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Windsor, Inc. made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence:

(1) 400 units at $5,

(2) 500 units at $7

(3) 600 units at $8.

Total units = 1,500

Assuming there are 300 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory.

A) FIFO (first-in, first-out)

Inventory = 300*8 = $2,400

B) LIFO (last-in, first-out)

Inventory = 300*5 = $1,500
