    Answer: Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Beginning inventory = 5 units at $61

    First purchase = 15 units at $63

    Second purchase = 10 units at $74

    Third purchase = 10 units at $77

    Ending inventory = Beginning inventory * $61 + First purchase * $63

    = 5 units * $61 + 15 units * $63

    = $1,250

    Cost of goods sold = Second purchase * $74 + Third purchase * $77

    = 10 units * $74 + 10 units * $77

    = $1,510
