Required: Using LIFO (a) Compute the cost of ending inventory. (b) Compute cost of goods sold for the year. OO Explanation LIFO: LIFO, "last in, first out," assumes that the last goods purchased (in) will be the first to be sold (out). Since we are using a perpetual inventory system, we will examine each transaction, one by one, and specifically identify the cost of each unit sold. Using the data in the problem, the following inventory information can be identified: Beginning inventory: Units purchased on April 6: 260 units at a cost of $43 per unit 390 units at a cost of $42 per unit
