The Xu Corporation uses a periodic inventory system. The company has a beginning inventory of 1,550 units at $18 each on January 1. Xu purchases 1,800 units at $17 each in February and 850 units at $19 each in March. There were no additional purchases or sales during the remainder of the year.

    Cost of goods sold = $28,900

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Beginning inventory = 1,550 units at $18

    February = 1,800 units at $17

    March = 850 units at $19

    Xu sells 1,600 units during the quarter.

    To calculate the cost of goods sold under LIFO (last-in, first-out) we will use the cost of the last units incorporated to inventory:

    Cost of goods sold = 850*19 + 750*17 = $28,900
