$1,685$1,575$1,805$3,585

Answer 1

$3,585

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation under the FIFO method is shown below:

The total purchase units equal to

= 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units

= 80 units

Out of 80 units, the 25 units are sold, so the remaining 55 units are come under the ending inventory. The classification is shown below:

10 units at $60 = $600

25 units at $65 = $1,625

20 units at $68 = $1,360

So, the total would be

= $600 + $1,625 + $1,360

= $3,585
