Explanation:

Answer 2

$275

Explanation:

Day Price Unit price

Monday $245 $2.45

Tuesday $315 $3.15

Wednesday $275 $2.75

Thursday $200 $2.00

Friday $225 $2.25

the first in, first out (FIFO) method uses the price of the oldest units to determine the cost of goods sold:

the ending inventory should = 100 units purchased Friday + 25 units purchased Thursday = (100 x $2.25) + ($25 x $2) = $225 + $50 = $275
