Assuming LIFO and perpetual inventory, what is the cost of goods sold for the July 7 sale?

a. $654
b.$645
c.$660
d.$648

The correct answer is a. $654

Explanation:

In this case, the sale that was made on July 7 include 10 units purchased on July 4 and 2 units from July 1 which was the beginning inventory.

The cost of goods for the July 7 sale=(10 units × $55) + (2 units× $52) = $654
