Explanation / Answer

Ending inventory as on April 10=(20 units@$10)+(40 units@$12)

Ending inventory as on April 28=(10 units@$14)+(60 units@$15)=$1040(D)

As per FIFO (first in first out);goods purchased first are sold off first and hence as on April 10;goods sold would consist of 80 units of beginning inventory.Similarly goods sold on April 28 would consist of 20 units of beginning inventory;40 units of April 3;30 units of April 18.
