Answer:

Answer is A. USD 80/-

Step-by-step explanation:

Using FIFO costing, we get:

  • Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) for two units,

COGS = First purchase + Second purchase

COGS = $70 + $80

COGS = $150

Sales = $230

  • Calculating the Gross Profit:

GP (Gross Profit) = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

GP = $230 - $150

GP = $80
