Explanation / Answer

Units Available for sale= 20+20+90+70 = 200 units

Units Sold = 30+80 = 110 Units

Units available for ending Inventory = 200-110 = 90 units

Under Periodic Inventory procedure, the ending Inventory Cost is derived as under:

Cost of Goods Sold is as under:

- Purchase no 3 : 70 units are sold

-Purchase no 2 : 40 Units will be sold

Now following inventory is left out whse value is derived as under:

- Balance available from Purchase no 2 50 units @ $ 32 = 1600 $

- Balance available from Purchase no 1 20 units @ $ 31 = 620$

- Beginning Inventory 20 units @$ 29 = 580$

Total Inventory 110 units 2800 $

Hence the Answer is D $ 2800
