Explanation:

                                   Date             Units   Unit Cost  Closing Inventory

Opening Balance   September 1      100      $3.00       $300.00

Purchases

                                September 8     450     $3.50       $1,575.00

                                September 18    300     $3.70       $1,110.00

Ending Inventory   September 30   150      $3.70       $555.00

According to FIFO the the material first purchased will be sold first. So, the closing Inventory of 150 units will be valued at the rate of last purchase of 300 units @ $3.77/unit.

Cost of Goods Sold = $300 + $1575 + (( 300 - 150 ) x 3.70) = $2,430
