    Ending inventory (EI) = 19,619

    Cost of goods sold (COSG) = 7,085

    Explanation:

    To calculate COSG using FIFO, we have to take the first units purchased and then take the next ones purchased.

    In this case:

    65 units * $62 = 4,030 168 units * $63 = 10,584 77 units * $ 65 = 5.005 COSG 310 units = 19,619

    The EI will be the remaing units:

    EI = 109 units * $65 = 7,085

    The Initial Inventoriy company and purchases total: (4,030 + 10,584 + 12,090) 26,704. That is the total amount of inventory. Those units are sold or are in the EI, so COSG and EI must total the same amount: 19,619 + 7,085 = 26,704.
