     1. FIFO:  Ending inventory $2,750

               300 units @ $8   =     $2,400

                50 units @ $7   =        350

               ——————————————         ——————

               350 units              $2,750

                                     

    

     2. Average Cost: Ending inventory $2,100

          $6,000 ÷ 1,000 = $6.00 per unit x 350 units = $2,100

                                                       

    

     3. LIFO:  Ending Inventory  $1,650

               100 units @ $4    =    $  400

               250 units @ $5    =     1,250

               ——————————————         ——————

               350 units              $1,650

                                     

    

     4. FIFO:  Cost of goods sold $3,250

               100 units @ $4    =    $  400

               500 units @ $5    =     2,500

                50 units @ $7    =       350

               ——————————————         ——————

               650 units              $3,250

                                     

    

        LIFO:  Cost of goods sold $4,350

               300 units @ $8    =    $2,400

               100 units @ $7    =       700

               250 units @ $5    =     1,250

               ——————————————         ——————

               650 units              $4,350

                                     

    

     Income would have been $1,100 ($4,350 vs. $3,250) greater if the

     company used FIFO instead of LIFO.
