The answer is: $364

Explanation:

The inventory records are as follows:

Oct 1 beginning inventory: 44 units at $12 per unit Oct 5 purchased merchandise: 28 units at $13 per unit Oct 12 purchased merchandise: 38 units at $14 per unit Oct 15 sold merchandise: 84 units sold

Using the first in, first out periodic inventory method, the merchandise inventory at Oct 15 is: 26 units at $14 per unit = $364.

The COGS is (44 x $12) + (28 x $13) + (12 x $14) = $1,060
