August Purchase

Arthur uses a periodic inventory system and believes there are birds remaining in ending inventory. However, Arthur neglects to make a final inventory count at the end of the year. An employee accidentally left one of the cages open one night and birds flew away, leaving only birds in ending inventory. Arthur is not aware of the lost canaries.
What amount would Arthur calculate for ending inventory and cost of goods sold using FIFO if he knew that only canaries remain in ending inventory?
