Respuesta :

Answer:

Cost of goods sold $ 589

Explanation:

Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.

The total value of purchases = (16 × $22)  + ( 29 × $2) +  (24 × $24)= $1,595

The cost of goods sold can worked out as follows:

Nov 4th - 9 × $22    = 198

Nov 17th - 17× $23 = 391

Cost of goods sold = (198+ 391 )=$ 589

Cost of goods sold $ 589
