Answer 1

The question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

Copy Center sells laser printers and supplies. Watson Copy Center started the year with 90 containers of ink​ (average cost of $ 8.50 ​each, FIFO cost of $ 8.90 ​each, LIFO cost of $ 7.80​each). During the​ year, Watson Copy Center purchased 720 containers of ink at $ 10.30 and sold 600 units for $ 19.75 each. Watson Copy Center paid operating expenses throughout the​ year, a total of $ 5000. Watson Copy​ Center's income statement-excluding the effects of income tax under each of the​average-cost, FIFO, and LIFO inventory costing methods--is given.

Total sales revenue = 600 x $19.75 = $11,850

COGS under weighted average = {[(90 x $8.50) + (720 x $10.30)] / 810} x 600 = $6,060

COGS under FIFO = (90 x $8.90) + (510 x $10.30) = $6,054

COGS under LIFO = 600 x $10.30 = $6,180
