Answer:
Amount allocated to cost of goods sold = $2,520
Explanation:
Total inventory held during the complete month.
Beginning = 33 units @ $21 = $693
7 July = 116 units @ $22 = $2,552
22 July = 17 units @ $24 = $408
Closing inventory = 53 units.
Under LIFO method, there is sale of inventory which was last bought or purchased.
Here, as per LIFO,
Total units = 33 + 116 + 17 = 166 units.
Units in closing inventory = 53 units.
That means, 33 units from opening and 20 units from purchases made as on 7 July
33 units @ $21 = $693
20 units @ $22 = $440
Total carrying value of closing inventory = $1,133
Therefore, amount allocated to cost of goods sold = 17 units @ $24 and 96 units @ $22
= $2,520
