a) Data and Calculations:

                                                                    Units      Unit Cost    Total Cost

Inventory, December 31, Year 1                  1,830          $ 6         $10,980

For Year 2: Purchase, March 21, Year 2   6,200          $ 5          31,000

Purchase, August 1, Year 2                        4,070          $ 3           12,210

Total cost of inventory                              12,100                        $54,190

Inventory, December 31, Year 2                2,910                          16,380

Cost of units sold                                       9,190                        $37,810

Cost of ending inventory, 2,910

= 1,830 at $6 = $10,980

 1,080 at $5 =     5,400

2,910           =  $16,380

Cost of goods sold = Cost of inventory available minus the cost of ending inventory

= $54,190 - $16,380

= $37,810
