cost of goods sold = $580

Explanation:

The cost of the goods sold means the cost price of the total sales volume. As the company uses FIFO (First-in, First-out) method and also uses the perpetual inventory system, the cost of goods sold =

Cost of goods sold =

20 units * $19 = $380 (The price is from November 1)

10 units * $20 = $200 (The price is from November 10)

The total cost of goods sold (30 units) = $580
