Answer:

a) UNDER FIFO

November 1 Inventory 120 units at $39

November 10 Sale 90 units

COGS = 90 X $39 = $3,510
remaining inventory = 30 x $39 = $1,170

November 15 Purchase 140 units at $40

November 20 Sale 110 units

COGS = (30 x $39) + (80 x $40) = $1,170 + $3,200 = $4,370
remaining inventory = 60 x $40 = $2,400

November 24 Sale 45 units

COGS = 45 x $40 = $1,800
remaining inventory = 15 x $40 = $600

November 30 Purchase 160 units at $43

remaining inventory = $600 + (160 x $43) = $7,480

b. UNDER LIFO
