Georgia Mathis · Answer 1

Cost of goods sold is $196

Explanation:

Using FIFO inventory sold are valued at the price of the most earliest stock in inventory.

The 16 units would be valued at $11 per one while the remaining 2 units would be valued at price of the purchase made on August 3 which cost $10 each

costs of goods sold = ($11*16) + ($10*2)

=$176+$20=$196

The costs of goods sold would be $196 if FIFO method of inventory valuation is used
