If Anton uses the FIFO cost flow method and sells 1,150 units of inventory, the amount of cost of goods sold will be___________.

Answer 1

Cost of goods sold = $8,830

Using the FIFO method of the perpetual inventory, the 1,150 units sold by Anton Co will be priced as follows:

760 units at a price of $7 = 760× $7= $5,320

Out of the 870 units of the second batch 390 will be used i.e 1150-760 = 390

390units at a price of $9 =390 × $9 = $3,510

Cost of goods sold = $5,320+ $3,510

= $8,830
