Answer: c) $3,460

Explanation:

The 190 units that were sold were part of 250 units inventory in stock as @May 1.

The cost price of the 250 units was $10 per units. Therefore, the total cost of 190 units sold = 190 x 10 = $1,900.

Secondly, the 140 units that were sold on May 24 comprises 60 units of the 250 units with cost price of $10 per unit and 80 units of the 270 units with cost price $12.

Therefore, total cost of 60 units = 60 x 10 = $600

And total cost of 80 units = 80 x 12 = $960

The total cost of goods sold = $1,900 + $600 + $960

= $3,460

The cost assigned to cost of goods sold using FIFO is $3,460
