Answer 1

Answer:

COGS (Jan 7)= $146

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jan 1: 11 units for $12 each.

Jan 5: Purchased 8 units at $14

Jan 7: Sold 12 units

Jan 15: Purchased 6 units at $16

Jan 30: Sold 15 units

Under a perpetual inventory system, the cost of goods sold gets accounted as they occur:

FIFO= first-in, first-out

COGS (Jan 7)= 11*12 + 1*14= $146
