Answer:
Closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units
Explanation:
As for the provided information we have,
Under FIFO method we know,
FIFO means First In First Out, under this the goods bought at earliest are sold earliest.
That means first opening inventory is sold, then the inventory purchased at the earliest.
Now we have,
Opening Inventory = 27 units @ $17 = $459
Purchases:
Aug 5 22 units @ $16 = $352
Aug 12 26 units @ $17 = $442
Provided 54 units are sold on Aug 15, that means, opening inventory of 27 units, 22 units bought on Aug 5, and 54 - 27 - 22 = 5 units from purchases on Aug 12.
Therefore, after sale units left = 26 - 5 = 21 units
Thus, closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units
