May 1 | Inventory | 57 units @ $19 | |
9 | Sale | 47 units | |
13 | Purchase | 35 units @ $22 | |
28 | Sale | 17 units |
Assuming a perpetual inventory system and using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, determine (a) the cost of merchandise sold on May 28 and (b) the inventory on May 31.

b. Inventory on May 31 | $fill in the blank 2 |
Perpetual Inventory System
FIFO
a. Cost of merchandise sold on May 28 | $344 |
b. Inventory on May 31 | $616 |
Working notes:
Units available for sale = 57 + 35 = 92 Units
Units sold = 47 + 17 = 64 Units
Ending Inventory (Units) = 92 Units - 64 Units = 28 Units
a. Cost of goods sold on May 28
= (57 Units - 47 Units) * $19 + (7 Units * $22)
= (10 Units * $19) + (7 Units * $22)
= $190 + $154
= $344
b. Inventory on May 31
= (35 Units - 7 Units) * $22
= 28 Units * $22
= $616
All the best...
