to find out

FIFO method what is Sackett’s ending inventory

solution

we know here that unit sold = 16000 units

available for sale = 22000

so ending inventory = 22000 - 16000

ending inventory = $6000

so

unit included 6000 is latest purchase are

so November purchase 5000 @ 2.7 is = $13500

and June purchase 1000 @ 2.5 is = $2500

so total will be = $13500 + $2500

total = $16000
