Sheffield Corp. uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 488 units that cost $65 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 722 units at $68 each and 365 units at $70 each. Sheffield Corp. also sold 1206 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month

$80,544

Explanation:

We will calculate the amount of cost of goods sold using FIFO as;

= (Beginning inventory unit × Cost of each inventory) + [(Units sold during the month - Beginning inventory units) × Unit cost of the first purchases made by the company]

= (488 × $65) + [(1,206 units - 488 units) × $68]

= $31,720 + $48,824

= $80,544

Therefore, the cost of goods sold using FIFO is $80,544
