Answer 1

Answer:

COGS= $11,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 735 units for $8

During February the company produced 700 units for $12 per unit.

Units sold= 1,100

Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the last units produced.

COGS= 700*12 + 400*8

COGS= $11,600
