June 21 = 35 units
Total units for sale = 275 units
Less : Units sold on
April 11 = 40 units
April 30 = 30 units
May 10 = 50 units
May 19 = 20 units
June 5 = 40 units
June 16 = 25 units
June 28 = 44 units
Ending Inventory in units = 26 units
Cost of merchandise sold =Merchandise available for sale - (Merchandise inventory, June 30, 2016)
