Explanation / Answer

Specific Identification:-

COGS:-

Sale of March 14:-

From Beginning Inventory (2350 * 2/5) * 45

42300

From January 30 Purchase (2350 * 3/5) * 60

84600

Sale of August 31:-

From Beginning Inventory (2700 – 940) * 45

79200

From May 1 Purchase (240 * 75)

18000

Cost of Goods Sold

224100

Ending Inventory = Amount of Goods available for Sale – Cost of Goods Sold

= 435750 – 224100 = 211650
