Question

When using the specific identification inventory method, cost of goods sold equals the ______.

Answer 1

With the specific identification inventory method, the Cost of Goods Sold equals the exact costs of the items sold.

• LIFO (Last-in, First-out) method that assumes that items sold are from the last inventories in the store
