Answer:

d. 9,200 units.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below for break-even points in units:

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Fixed costs = $260,000 + $11,400 = $271,400

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

= $50 - $20.5

= $29.5

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the units would equal to

= $271,400 ÷ $29.5

= 9,200 units

LIFO      910

FIFO  2,260

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Date&Cost&Units&Subtotal\\$Jan 20th&8&400&3200\\$April 21th&10&200&2000\\$July 25th&13&280&3640\\$Sept 19th&15&90&1350\\$Total&10.51&970&10190\\\end{array}\right]

We add the units purchase and the subtotal to get the total units available for sale.

Ending inventory physical units: 970 - 810 = 160 units

<u>Then, we calculate for each method:</u>

Weighted average:

cost of goods / available units = 10,190 / 970 =  10.51

160 units x 10.51 = 1,681.6‬

LIFO:

Ending inventory will be the oldest units:

160 units x 8 = 960

FIFO:

Ending inventory will be the newest units as the units are sold as soon as they come in

90 x 15 =  1,350

70 x 13 =     910

Total       2,260
