Ending Inventory:

a. Specific Identification:

Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,490

= $8,450

b. FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,540

= $8,400

c. LIFO:

Ending Inventory:

March 1  Inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $2,990

= $8,950

d) Weighted -Average Cost:

Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75

Cost of Goods Sold = $248.75 * 35 = $8,706.25
