Periodic Inventory Using FIFO, LIFO, and Weighted Average Cost Methods

The units of an item available for sale during the year were as follows:

Jan. 1 Inventory 17 units at $34 $578

July 7 Purchase 19 units at $36 684

Nov. 23 Purchase 20 units at $38 760

56 units $2,022

There are 17 units of the item in the physical inventory at December 31. The periodic inventory system is used. Determine the inventory cost using (a) the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method; (b) the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method; and (c) the weighted average cost method (round per unit cost to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar).
