Hanna Bender · Answer 1

(a) $85.88

Step-by-step explanation:

FIFO method states that the inventory which is bought first will be sold first ... Its an acronym for first in first out.

The ending inventory of previous method is sold first in the next month.

Hence, to calculate the cost of the ending inventory, we will consider the ending inventory for the month of October.

Ending inventory in October = 113

Per unit cost = $0.76

Cost of the ending inventory = 113 * 0.76

= $85.88
