Glasgow's cost of goods sold under FIFO would be:
A) $1,650.
B) $1,860.
C) $2,310.
D) $2,100.
Answer:
B )
Step-by-Step explanation
Cost of goods sold under FIFO method = 80 units from beginning inventory + 140 units from first purchase
Cost of goods sold under FIFO method = (80 units x $7.50) + ((220 units - 80 units) x $9.00)
= $600 + (140 units x $9.00)
= $600 + $1,260
= $1,860
