Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

8. Cost of inventory at 31 January = $8,000.

Under FIFO inventory, beginning inventories are supposed to be sold first. So. ending inventory must be from the last purchases.

Cost of ending inventory =

= (125 units * $20) + (250 units * $22)

= $2,500 + $5,500

= $8,000
