    (a) $496

    (b) $945

    (c) $480

    Explanation:

    Jan 1, Inventory = $435

    August 7, Purchase = $510

    December 11, Purchase = $465

    Total units = 47 units

    Total purchase = $1,410

    Average cost = Total purchase : Total units

    = $1,410 : 47 units

    = $30

    Units sold = Total units - Ending inventory

    = 47 - 16

    = 31 units

    (a) FIFO:

    Merchandise inventory = 16 units * $31

    = $496

    (b) LIFO:

    Merchandise inventory = (15 units * $29) + (17 units * $30)

    = $435 + $510

    = $945

    (c) Weighted average cost method:

    Merchandise inventory:

    = Ending inventory * Average cost

    = 16 units * $30

    = $480
