                                                                     Units           Unit Cost

Beginning inventory on January 1                370               $3.60

Purchase on January 9                                   80               $3.80

Purchase on January 25                                110               $3.90

Sales on January 26, the company sells 410 units.

Ending inventory 150 units

Cost of ending inventory using:

LIFO = 150 x $3.60 = $540

FIFO = (110 x $3.90) + (40 x $3.80) = $581

weighted average = ($2,065 / 560) x 150 units = $553.13
