Answer:

COGS 463

Explanation:

FIFO method:

begining inventory:      10 units at  $  14

March 2nd purchases: 10 units at  $  26

March 6th purchases:   6 units at   $  21

It sold 23 units:

We will take units from the top, which are the frist units until fulfil the order.

23 - 10 units at $ 14 = 13

After using the beginning inventory, we are still short, so we use next units:

13 - 10 units at $ 26 =   3

we are still short by 3 units, so we move to next units:

3 - 3 units at $ 21 = 0

We use 3 units from the last purchase and we complete the request.

Now we calculate cost of goods sold

Total COGS:

10 x 14    =  140

10 x 26   = 260

 3 x 21   =   63  

Total           463
