Answer:

  • Sale, March 14 (1,380 units) cost of goods sold = $117,200
  • Sale, August 31 (1,550 units ) cost of goods = $96,100
  • Ending inventory = 1,800 units

Explanation:

a. Cost Of Goods Sold Using LIFO

1. Sale, March 14 (1,380 units)

- from May 1 purchase)

1,130 units at $90= 1130*90= $101,700

+

from January 30 purchase

250 units from 2,150 units at $62 = $15,500

Total= 15,500+101,700= $117,200

2. Sale, August 31 (1,550 units )

- from January 30 purchase

1,550 units from 1900 units leftover

1550 at $62 = 1550*62= $96,100

b. Ending inventory

350 units leftover from January 30 purchase + 1,450 units of Beginning inventory, January 1 = 1,800 units
