COGS = $6,030

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory: 300 units at $ 17.73 each

Purchases:

June 2: 400 units at $ 7.11 each

June 15: 200 units at $ 13.16 each.

A physical count of merchandise inventory at the end of the month revealed that 500 units were sold.

First, we need to calculate the units sold:

Units sold = total units - ending inventory

Units sold = 900 - 500 = 400 units

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the first units in.

COGS = 300*17.73 + 100*7.11 = $6,030
