Answer 1

Answer:

$5,180 and $35,120

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory is shown below:

There are 500 unit sold so according to that the cost of goods sold is

Jan 1        60 units         $66         $3,960

May 5      280 units       $69         $19,320

Nov 3       160 units      $74           $11,840

Cost of goods sold                        $35,120

Now the ending inventory is

Since there is a 70 ending inventory units i.e comes from

= 570 units - 500 units

= 70 units

So this should be at $74

i.e $5,180
