Ending inventory $210

Explanation:

Perpetual inventory system:

Cost of Goods Sold and ending inventory are calcualte after every sale.

Inventory available at the moment of sale:

Beginning inventory of 15 units at a cost of $12 = $180

June 5, Jacobs purchased 10 units at $13 per unit = $130

On June 12, it purchased 20 units at $14 per unit = $280

units for sale: 45 cost of goods available for sale 590

we sold 30 units. Units at ending Inventory: 45 - 30 = 15

We are asked for FIFO method:

first units are sold and newest are inventory so, ending invenotry will be compose of units fro mthe nearest purchase which is June 12th

15 units x $14 each = $ 210
