Answer:

$2300

Explanation:

The FIFO method is one in which inventory purchased first is sold first. Given that the company had five one- carat diamonds available for sale this year: one was purchased on June 1 for $500, two were purchased on July 9 for $550, and two were purchased on September 23 for $600 each. On December 24, the one was purchased on June 1 for $500 was sold

= $1100 + $1200

= $2300
