Answer:

Produce more of the good that generates external cost and less of the good that creates external benefit.

Explanation:

External benefits refer to the situation where the benefit of production of goods or services goes to a third party that is not directly involved in the process of production.  

Similarly, external cost refers to the situation where the cost of production of goods and services is borne by a third party which is not directly involved in the process of production.  

A competitive market economy would tend to produce more of the good that generates external cost and less of the good that creates external benefit. This is because in case of external cost the private cost will be lower than social cost, so the firms will be able to produce more of the good.

<u>Date                                      Purchases                    Sales        </u>

May 1                                1,550 units at $44

May 10                                720 units at $45

May 12                                                                    1,200 units

COGS                                                                  (720 x $45 = $32,400)

COGS                                                                  (480 x $44 = $21,120)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $53,520

Inventory after sale        1,070 units at $44

May 20                             1,200 units at $48

May 14                                                                      830 units

COGS                                                                  (830 x $48 = $39,840)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 14 SALE                       = $39,840

Inventory after sale         1,070 units at $44

                                          370 units at $48

May 31                                                                    1,000 units

COGS                                                                  (370 x $48 = $17,760)

COGS                                                                  (630 x $44 = $27,720)

TOTAL COGS FOR MAY 12 SALE                       = $45,480

Inventory after sale        440 units at $44

Under LIFO (last in, first out), the cost of goods sold is determined using the price of the last units purchased, which means that the most recent (or updated) price is used to calculate COGS.
