Explanation / Answer

Total purchases in 2001 = 150+100+250+200+160+140 = 1000 units

Total units sold in 2001 = 720 units

Ending inventory in 2001 = 1000-720 = 280 units

Since FIFO is used these 280 units represents 140 units purchased on Nov 12 and balance 140 units purchased on Sept 4

Calculation of cost of goods sold in 2002, total 2400 units were sold

First 280 units sold from ending inventory of 2001

= (140 units * 4.60) + (140 units * 4.50) = $1274

Next 200 units from purchase of Jan 27, 2002 = (200*4.7) = $940

Next 1200 units from Mar 17,2002 purchase = (1200*4.8) = $5760

Remaining 720 units from Aug 9,2002 purchase = (720*4.76) = $3427.2

Therefore, cost of goods sold in 2002, second year = $11401.20
