Required:
FIFO: Under the FIFO method, it is assumed that the goods
purchased first are the goods sold first. So the ending inventory
would represent the goods purchased later in point of time.
Weighted average: Under the weighted average cost method, weighted
average cost per unit is found for units available for sale and the
weighted average cost arrived is used to calculate ending inventory
and cost of goods sold.
