Edwards uses a periodic inventory system. All purchases and sales were for cash.

	Required:
1.	Compute cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory using FIFO.
2.	Compute cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory using LIFO.
3.	Compute cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory using the average cost method.
4.	Prepare the journal entries to record these transactions assuming Edwards chooses to use the FIFO method.
5.	Conceptual Connection: Which method would result in the lowest amount paid for taxes?
