    Instructions are listed below

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Jan. 1: Inventory 12 units at $5,400 = $64,800

    Aug. 7: Purchase 18 units at $6,000 = $108,000

    Dec. 11 Purchase 15 units at $6,480 = $97,200

    Available for sale 45 units $270,000

    December 31: There are 14 units.

    We need to determine the inventory cost using different cost methods.

    A) FIFO (first-in, first-out)

    Inventory = 14*6480 = $90,720

    B) LIFO (last-in, first-out)

    Inventory = 12*5400 + 2*6000 = $76,800

    C) Weighted average cost method

    Total inventory cost of the period = 64800 + 108000 + 97200 = 270,000

    Total units of the period = 45

    Average cost = 207,000/45 = $4600

    Total inventory cot = 14*4600=$64400
