FIFO (First-In, First-Out) assumes that the first units purchased are the first units sold. Therefore, the cost of goods sold for July is calculated as follows:Beginning inventory (20 units at $19) = $380Purchases on July 7 (70 units at $20) = $1,400Total cost of goods available for sale = $1,780Since there are 35 units on hand at the end of July, the cost of goods sold is calculated as follows:Beginning inventory (20 units at $19) = $380Purchases on July 7 (15 units at $20) = $300Total cost of goods sold = $680
