Under the perpetual FIFO (First In, First Out) method, the oldest inventory costs are assigned to the cost of goods sold first. The calculation for the 22 units sold is as follows: 10 units at $20 each = $200, and 12 units (out of the 10 purchased on March 2) at $22 each = $264. The total cost of the 22 units sold is $200 + $264 = $464. However, since none of the provided options exactly matches this calculation, the closest option, which is a mistake in the calculation, is A) $470.
