Answer 1

Answer:

Instructios are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Inventory, December 31: 500 units at $10

Purchase, April 11: 800 units at $8

Purchase, June 1: 700 units at $12

Sale, May 1: 500 units

Sale, July 3: 520 units

A) Number of units= beginning inventory + purchases

Units for sale= 500 + 800 + 700= 2,000 units

Cost= 500*10 + 800*8 + 700*12= $19,800

B) Ending inventory= units available for sale - sales

Ending inventory= 2,000 - 500 - 520= 980 units
