    Instructios are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Inventory, December 31: 500 units at $10

    Purchase, April 11: 800 units at $8

    Purchase, June 1: 700 units at $12

    Sale, May 1: 500 units

    Sale, July 3: 520 units

    A) Number of units = beginning inventory + purchases

    Units for sale = 500 + 800 + 700 = 2,000 units

    Cost = 500*10 + 800*8 + 700*12 = $19,800

    B) Ending inventory = units available for sale - sales

    Ending inventory = 2,000 - 500 - 520 = 980 units
