    Instructions are listed below

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    June 1:

    Inventory: 120 units for $5 = $600

    June 12:

    Purchase: 370units for $6 = $2,220

    June 23:

    Purchase: 200 units for $7 = $1,400

    June 30:

    Ending Inventory 230 units

    Units sold = 460

    Under FIFO method, the first units-in are the first to go out. Therefore, the ending inventory has the value of the last units purchased.

    Inventory = 200*7 + 30*6 = $1,580

    COGS = 120*5 + 340*6 = $2,640

    Under LIFO method, the lasts units-in are the first out.

    Inventory = 120*5 + 110*6 = $1,260

    COGS = 260*6 + 200*7 = $2,960

    Under the average cost method, we calculate an average buying price and then calculate the ending inventory and cost of goods sold:

    Average price = (5 + 6 + 7) / 3 = 6

    Inventory = 230*6 = $1,380

    COGS = 460*6 = $2,760

    The highest ending inventory is from FIFO method.
