    we know that

    The first-in-first-out method (FIFO), states that the earliest costs (first costs) are assigned to cost of goods sold and the remaining costs (the more recent costs) are assigned to ending inventory.

    The FIFO method assumes that the earliest-goods purchased are sold first.

    so

    in this problem

    Part a) cost of ending inventory

    Find the total cost

    Total cost=200*$2.1+400*$2.2+250*$2.4=$1,900

    Find the cost of ending inventory

    475-250=225 boxes

    Cost of ending inventory=225*$2.20+250*$2.40=$1,095

    therefore

    the answer Part a) is

    The cost of ending inventory is $1,095

    Part b) cost of goods sold

    we know that

    The cost of goods sold is equal to the total cost minus the cost of ending inventory

    so

    cost of goods sold=$1,900-$1,095=$805

    therefore

    the answer part b) is

    The cost of goods sold is $805
