Beginning November 1 4 units @ $5 Purchase November 2 11 units @ $7 Purchase November 12 7 units @ $9

Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Under LIFO 13 units sold on november 8th will consist of 11 units purchased on Nov 2 and 2 units purchased on nov 1

Therefore Cost of goods sold = (11*$7) + (2*$5) = $87

Hence option B is correct.

Solution 2:

Under FIFO method, 25 units sold on March 8 will consist of 11 units in beginning inventory and 11 units purchased on March 2 and 3 units purhcased on March 6.

Cost of goods sold = (11*$9) + (11*$16) + (3*$16)

= $323

Hence option B is correct.
