    Explanation:

    Requirement A - Specific Identification

    Income statement (Partial)

    Sales (350 units*$87.80) + (220 units*$97.80) = $52,246

    Less: Cost of goods sold

    Beginning (Mar. 1) = 110 units * $52.80 = $5,808

    Mar. 5 = 240 units * $57.80 = $13,872

    Mar. 18 = 90 units * $62.80 = $5,652

    Mar. 25 = 130 units * $64.80 = $8,424

    $33,756

    Gross Profit $18,490

    Requirement B - FIFO

    In each inventory method, sales remain same.

    Income statement (Partial)

    Sales (350 units*$87.80) + (220 units*$97.80) = $52,246

    Less: Cost of goods sold

    Beginning (Mar. 1) = 190 units * $52.80 = $10,032

    Mar. 5 = 270 units * $57.80 = $15,606

    Mar. 18 = 110 units * $62.80 = $ 6,908

    Total cost of goods sold $32,546

    Gross Profit $19,700

    Requirement C - LIFO

    Income statement (Partial)

    Sales (350 units*$87.80) + (220 units*$97.80) = $52,246

    Less: Cost of goods sold

    Mar. 5 = 200 units * $57.80 = $ 11,560

    Mar. 18 = 130 units * $62.80 = $ 8,164

    Mar. 25 = 240 units * $64.80 = $15,552

    Total cost of goods sold $35,276

    Gross Profit $16,970

    Requirement D - Weighted Average Method

    Income statement (Partial)

    Sales (350 units*$87.80) + (220 units*$97.80) = $52,246

    Less: Cost of goods sold (note - 1) = $ 33,189

    Gross Profit = $19,057

    Note - 1

    For first 350 units cost of goods sold

    Total units (beginning + March 5) = 190 units + 270 units = 460 units

    Total cost = $10,032 + $15,606 = $25,638

    Weighted average cost per unit = Total cost : Total units

    Weighted average cost per unit = $25,638 : 460 units = $55.74 (Rounded to two decimal places)

    350 units cost of goods sold = 350 * $55.74 = $19,509

    For the second 220 units cost of goods sold

    Remaining balance after 350 sold = 460 units - 350 units = 110 units

    And cost = $25,638 - $19,509 = $6,129

    Mar. 18 = Total units = 110 + 130 = 240 units

    Total costs = $6,129 + $8,164 = $14,293

    Weighted average cost = $14,293 : 240 untis = $59.55

    Mar. 25 = Total units = 240 + 240 = 480 units

    Total costs = $14,293 + $15,552 = $29,845

    Weighted average cost = $29,845 : 480 units = $62.18

    220 units cost of goods sold = 220 units * $62.18 = $13,680

    Total cost of goods sold for 350 + 220 = 570 units = $19,509 + 13,680 = $33,189
