(2) we could assume that the newer fuel oil was sold, leaving the [older /

newer] fuel in inventory; or (3) we could assume that a mixture of old and new oil was sold. Because the fuel oil has been mixed together in the storage tank, we [have / do not have] a record of the cost of the specific quantities of fuel oil actually sold during the month. Therefore the solution
