Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Its beginning inventory of chairs was 100 units at $45 per unit.

Purchases:

The first was a 174-unit purchase at $51 per unit

The second was a 212-unit purchase at $54 per unit.

During the period, it sold 294 chairs.

I will calculate the cost of goods sold and ending inventory under FIFO, LIFO, and weighted-average methods.

FIFO (first-in, first-out):

COGS = 100*45 + 174*51 + 20*54 = $14,454

Ending inventory = 192*54 = $10,368

LIFO (last-in, first-out):

COGS = 212*54 + 82*51 = $15,630

Ending inventory = 92*51 + 100*45 = $9,192

Weighted-average method:

Weighted-average cost = (45 + 51 + 54) / 3 = $50

COGS = 294*50 = $14,700

Ending inventory = 192*50 = $9,600
