Elian Schwartz · Answer 1

The amount allocated to ending inventory for June is $2,753

Explanation:

The FIFO is a method used to account value for inventory. Under the method, the first item of inventory purchased is the first one sold.

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 350 units on hand.

Following the FIFO, 350 units on hand include:

290 units were purchased on June 28: $2,291

60 units were purchased on June 15: $1,540/200 x 60 = $462

The amount allocated to ending inventory = $2,291 + $462 = $2,753
