Answer 1

Ending inventory = 138-101 = 37 Units

a) Calculate ending inventory

	FIFO	LIFO	Average cost
The ending inventory	(21*117+16*116) = 4313	(10*112+27*115) = 4225	15939/138*37 = 4274

b) Cost of goods sold

	FIFO	LIFO	Average cost
Cost of goods sold	15939-4313 = 11626	15939-4225 = 11714	15939-4274 = 11665
