Christopher Horn · Answer 1

Inventory = $709

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 1 400 at $3.90

Purchase on January 9: 90 at $4.10

Purchase on January 25:120 at $4.20

On January 26, the company sells 440 units.

Ending inventory at January 31 totals 170 units.

FIFO (first-in, first-out)

Inventory = 120 * 4.20 + 50 * 4.10 = $709
