a company purchased 500 units for $20 each on January 31. It purchased 600 units for $24 each on February 28. It sold a total of 640 units for $40 each from March 1 through December 31. What is the cost of ending inventory on December 31 if the company uses the first-in, first-out inventory costing method.
a)6960
b)2240
c)11040
d)9200
Ending inventory
= Units available for sale - Units sold
= (500+600) - 640 = 460 units
Cost of ending inventory
= 460 * 24
= 11040
Option C is the answer
