Solution

1st requirement:

working:

units in ending inventory = units available for sale - units sold

=>262 - 225

=>37 units.

ending inventory using FIFO :

37 units * unit cost on sept 26 ...........(since under FIFO first purchased goods will be sold first)

=>37 * $105

=>$3,885

cost of goods sold using FIFO:

using LIFO:

ending inventory :

37 units * cost on sept 1 ................(since last purchased goods are sold off first under LIFO)

=>37 * $101

=>$3,737.

cost of goods sold under LIFo :

2nd requirement :

	FIFO	LIFO
ending inventory at september 30	3,885	3,737
cost of goods sold	23,413	23,561
