Answer:

Find detailed explanations below

Explanation:

Under the first-in-first-out inventory valuation method, the earlier stocks are sold first and the latest stocks remain in inventory.

In essence, the 200 units sold comprise of 100 units purchased on January 31  at $20 each  and 100 units from purchases made on February 28 at $30 each as computed below

Cost of goods sold=(100*$20)+(100*$30)

Cost of goods sold=$5,000(the options are wrong)

A company purchased 80 units for​ $20 each on January 31. It purchased 190 units for​ $25 each on February 28. It sold 190 units for​ $80 each from March 1 through December 31.
